Go easy on your wallet--and your back--with this stylish dual-core ultraportable.
The latest addition to Averatec's 2300 series of notebooks and its first Vista-based offering, the 2371 packs dual-core processing power and a robust assortment of components into an ultraportable form factor--all for less than $1,000. Just don't stray too far from an outlet; this system's battery life is short, even for a Vista machine. Clad in an attractive dark chocolate-brown chassis, the 2371 is thin and light enough for frequent travel (1.3 inches and 4.1 pounds). The 12.1-inch widescreen display has a 1280 x 800-pixel resolution and is treated with the AveraBrite coating, which helps produce a brighter picture and delivers good viewing angles. The glossy screen has a tendency to reflect bright ambient light, though.

The good: Reasonably priced; attractive dark brown finish; includes ExpressCard slot and FireWire port; excellent manual. The bad: Underpowered AMD CPU paired with only 1GB of RAM limits performance; unimpressive battery life; not customizable. The bottom line: For less than $1,000, the Averatec 2371 is an excellent value ultraportable for those who can look past its acceptable but subpar performance.

Comment
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100: The NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100 / 6150 is an integrated graphics card of the NVIDIA nForce Go 430 MCP for AMD Turion notebooks. It doesn't have any integrated memory, but uses a part of the mainmemory (up to 128 MB) like the direct competitor Intel GMA 950. Therefore, the gaming performance is quite moderate and can only be used for elder games.
Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

AMD Turion 64 X2: AMD Turion 64 X2 is intended to be positioned against the Intel Core Duo was presented in 17. May 2006. The current consumption is not higher than with Centrino-Duo-notebooks (TL-45 with ATI Xpress and Mobility Radeon X300). This means, that approximative the same battery runtime and fan functions can be expected (with this chipset). However, the performance was 20% below the T2300 (1.66 GHz) due to the lower L2 Cache (Core Duo has 2048 Kbyte shared L2 Cache). Nevertheless, the performance is sufficient.
TL-52:

12.1": This is the most common display format for subnotebooks and an average size for subnotebooks.
The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs less power, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that reading of texts is very exhausting vor the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used.

1.9 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 12 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Averatec: Averatec is a small international manufacturer. Notebook models of Averatec rarely have benn reviewed in the German- and English speaking countries. The total rating and the price/value-evaluations were average.
65%: Such a bad rating is rare. There exist hardly any notebooks, which are rated worse.
