Averatec 6100 Series Laptop Review and Personal Views

When looking for a laptop for myself, I truly had no clue what I was doing. I was looking on eBay to find an affordable laptop with the features that I wanted, when I came across an Averatec.

Averatec is a fairly new company headquartered in Orange County, CA. They focus on delivering stylish and innovative laptop computers backed by superior customer support and terrific prices. After doing a little research and reading reviews I decided to take a chance on this new company.

I purchased an Averatec 6100 Series laptop computer. This series has an Intel Pentium 4 Processor, Microsoft Windows XP Home addition, 15.4” Wide Screen Display, Built in Digital Media Reader, ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 graphics, 512 MB DDR upgradeable to 1 GB DDR, up to 60 GB hard drive, DVD/CD-RW burner, upgradeable to include DVD burner, a 56k modem, wireless 802.11g, and weighs 7.7 lbs.

This series comes in three different models. I purchased a 6130H1, which is the middle of the road model and has a 40 GB hard drive, 3.0 GHz processor, and 3 USB ports. For my first laptop purchase, I am thrilled with what I got.

The Averatec laptop computer runs seamlessly. I have no problem running multiple programs at once. It is not uncommon for me to have 6 or 7 different programs and windows open. It has not slowed down any since I first got it and I have downloaded thousands of ebooks, software, music and pictures.

This Averatec laptop has a built in scrolling feature on the mouse-pad. I intend to buy a mouse but in the meantime this works great. At times the mouse pad is a little too touchy and clicks through on a link when I am simply moving around. It is a small inconvenience but I manage.

The DVD/CD-RW is a breeze to use. To watch a DVD I simply have to put it in and it automatically starts up. This Averatec laptop came with CyberLink PowerDVD software. The picture and sound quality are great.
