"excellent value for the money (paid under $1000 with rebates )"
Pros: 2.5 hours long enough for a full DVD movie and up to 4 hrs, Screen is bright and clear
Cons: Key board a little cramped. DVD tray can easily be activated to open by accident
Summary: I was not sure this computer would work for me. I was looking at a Dell 700. But, I am extremely satified with the Averatec 1000. It is so light weight, very small, and bright 10.4 in screen, and has given me up to 3:45 hours of battery time. ( 2 1/2 with DVD running) It has Centrino processor, 512 ram, CD RW, DVD and 80 gig hd. It connected right away to my wireless network. I had a few questions and Averatec support did the job and helped. The only problem is the under sized key board, but what can you expect on such a compact computer. Software bundle included is sparse. You will need some of your own. I recommend anyone interested in the this, give it a try.Updated
After 6 months the audio input jack broke, leaving me with no sound. Averatec required me to pay for shipping to California. They had my notebook from Dec 21 to Jan 4. Their warranty states repair time is 5 to 7 business days. This was far longer. They sent it back to me FedEx ground on Jan 4th and as of today, Jan 11. I still do not have it back or know if it is fixed. I have received no written communication on the repair status and have been without my laptop for 3 weeks. I do not recommend ever buying from this company if you expect to need repairs, which statistics say you will. I should have bought a Dell, their warranty is in home or by mail in a several days.
