Averatec Buddy


$480.00 Released April, 2008

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Small and well balanced, makes it easy to carry around. Screen is bright enough to be used outside. Enough hard drive space for most purposes.

The Cons:Battery runs out fairly quickly. Mic input is extremely low, makes it tough to do webcam chat properly.

The Averatec Buddy is a 10.2" widescreen netbook, the first attempt by Averatec in producing a mini notebook. It comes with Genuine Windows XP Home Edition installed. Like some of Averatec's larger, more powerful notebooks, this netbook includes a 1.3 megapixel webcam that makes the tiny computer a hub for Internet communication.
