Averatec 4200

An iBook in Windows clothing, the 4.7-pound Averatec 4200 definitely makes a statement when you pop it open. It’s almost devoid of buttons and features a glossy 13.3-inch widescreen.

The system is pretty stacked for the price; the 4200 comes with a decent 1.6-GHz Pentium M 730 processor, 512MB of RAM, and a big 80GB hard drive. Three USB 2.0 ports are standard fare, but the FireWire and S-Video ports are a nice bonus. The 4200 lasted well over 3.5 hours on a charge. Wireless performance was about average.

The 4200 comes with a multi-format DVD burner, but it doesn’t support dual-layer discs. A 4-in-1 memory card reader enables easy uploading of digital pictures. It is not a game machine, so if you are looking to play Battlefield, go elsewhere.
