Averatec 3715-EH1
Source: Bios Magazine
With a refreshing new design (iBook anyone?), Averatec’s 3700 series has a unique white shell. And at just 1.9kg this ultra-lightweight laptop could be an ideal system for travel, school, as well as work, as long as you don’t throw CPU-intensive programs at it or work too long untethered from a mains adapter. Better suited to those on a budget, the 3715-EH1 offers a respectable range of hardware features in a highly portable casing. You’ll either love or hate the styling (we weren’t fans), but the price might be enough to attract you if your needs are basic (Web browsing, managing e-mail etc). In addition to the disappointing battery life we found that the working range of the wireless adapter was below average. Power users looking for an ultra-portable laptop who can manage to spend a little more on customisation options will find much specified and powerful options from the likes of Dell and Sony.

Comment

VIA S3G UniChrome Pro: VIA S3G UniChrome Pro is one of the weakest onboard integrated mobile video solutions according performance. It is not suited for games. Without any doubt it is apt for office applications and surfing.

AMD Mobile Sempron: AMD Mobile Sempron is a Mobile Athlon 64 with a reduced Level 2 Cache. The rating is not comparable with Athlon 64 rating. So a 3000+ Athlon 64 is faster than a 3000+ Sempron. There is no 64 Bit support.

3000+:

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 few current, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the 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.
