Source: Pocket Lint
No longer merely good looks and average performance, this Averatec has plenty of power to support its attractive design. The Averatec 4360 is something of a departure for the company. No longer is it trying to fill the budget end of the market and as a result, we have a machine that is impressive in it’s build and its specification. Battery life isn’t as long as we’d like from a machine as portable as this but it’s a sacrifice you’ll be willing to accept for dual-core power in a lightweight notebook.

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an onboard integrated video chip and can be called a faster clocked GMA 900 (on Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset, which is available only starting with Core Duo/Solo). 2006 it is the most often used graphics solution and is classified in the weakest third of mobile graphics solutions. So it can only be used for elder games. For office applications and surfing it is without any doubt sufficient.

Intel Core Duo: Intel Core Duo (successor of Pentium M), is a double core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used common. The maximum current consumption of 31 Watts is only 4 W more then with Pentium M. Due to the low energy need is Core Duo also suited for subnotebooks. Further now it supports SSE3 orders. The performance can nearly be doubled for applications, which were designed for multiprocessors (compared with Pentium M).

T2300E: The weak types like T2300E are apt for office applications and for surfing. The difference to T2300 without "E" is insignificant.

13.3": This is a frequent and the biggest display format for sub-notebooks.
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.
>> To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

2.1 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 13 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.
