Averatec AV1150-EW1 Review

- The $1399 (as of 6/26/2006) AV1150-EW1 in Averatec's 1100 Series is the company's newest and lightest notebook. It weighs just 3.5 pounds, including an integrated dual-layer DVD burner, and it offers long battery life--4.4 hours in our tests. Unfortunately, the unit has some keyboard shortcomings and limited upgradability.
