That said, like the <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/Averatec_3715/4505-3121_7-31517733.html?tag=txt">3715 model</a> we reviewed last year, the Averatec 2200 series offers a competent mobile-computing experience, with a quality 12.1-inch wide-screen display, a comfortable keyboard, and a dual-layer DVD drive, all in a 4.3-pound case. We tested the Averatec AV22600-EK1, and its battery lasted less than two hours in our tests; it's not going to let you get too far away from the wall socket. Unless battery life is a nonissue for you, we think you're better off spending a bit more money for a more resilient thin-and-light laptop.
