Guess what? Those holdover Atom-powered PCs that keep shipping with Windows XP despite the fact Microsoft has been shipping Vista for almost two years? They aren’t confined to the so-called “nettop” market. Averatec has just announced a new version of its slim All-in-One desktop PC sporting a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor and boasting an 18.4-inch display. The unit is a follow-up to the existing 22-inch model with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and Averatec is pitching the system as ideal for everyday tasks like surfing the Web and keeping up on email.

Californian PC manufacturer Averatec hopped on the already crowded iMac clone bandwagon Monday with the launch of its All-in-One PC. The 22-inch machine will bring a host of high-power hardware to the game at a price just a hair more expensive than Apple’s cheapest 20-incher.

Much like the iMac and its horde of PC-based offspring, Averatec’s All-in-One packs all its hardware up around the monitor to fit into a single flat slab, but the exterior has been drenched in a decidedly un-Apple-like gloss black. Inside, there’s the same 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo that Apple’s cheapest iMac runs, but Averatec bests the original in other areas with 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, and a Nvidia GeForce 8800 graphics card. And there’s also an optional high-def TV tuner to make use of the 1680 x 1050 display.  Read more...

Budget manufacturer Averatec continued to build its line of low-cost notebooks on Friday with the introduction of the 12.1-inch 2575 ultraportable. The new laptop includes joins Averatec’s three other 12.1-inch models with a feature set Averatec says is intended to balance work and play.

Breaking Averatec’s usual silver-colored styling, the 2575 gets a more subdued black color scheme and angular lines reminiscent of the ThinkPad. The total package weighs just 3.9 pounds, with a profile Averatec claims is “ultra-thin,” although exact dimensions are not provided.  Read more...
