SANTA ANA, Calif., April 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Averatec Inc. (UIR: VGN6525), an emerging leader in innovative mobile computing products, today announced the introduction of its 1000 Series feather light portable notebooks. Colorful, compact and lightweight with powerful computing capabilities, the 1000 Series is designed for true mobility at a very aggressive price point.
Weighing in at slightly over three pounds, the ultra portable 1000 Series notebooks have a streamlined, one inch-thin, very small footprint profile and a 10.6-inch WXGA wide screen, perfect for mobile users that need compact, robust computing technology at their fingertips. The notebook's compact display features AveraBrite(TM), a new LCD feature that offers a brighter screen for crystal clear viewing.
The 1000 Series laptop computer features Intel(R) Centrino(TM) Mobile Technology powered by the Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 733, delivering low power capabilities that enable the world's smallest notebook computers. Developed for on-the-go computing, Averatec's notebook delivers integrated, high-speed wireless LAN capability as well as the most current security standards in wireless connectivity.
"Averatec's feather light 1000 Series notebook is small in stature yet large on delivering the power and connectivity needed in today's mobile-driven world," said Saeed Shahbazi, president of Averatec. "The notebook combines our most popular features and solid performance in an affordable, lightweight package that's perfect for students, home users, travelers and salespeople on the go."
A full-featured notebook, the 1000 Series comes standard with 512MB memory, up to 80GB hard drive, a DVD+CD-RW combo drive and an integrated 4-in-1 media reader that supports SD, MC, MMC and MS Pro formats, perfect for memory storage or downloading photos from a digital camera.
"The new Averatec 1000 based on Intel Centrino mobile technology is the first widescreen 10.6-inch notebook available in U.S. retail," said Danny Sabour, director of customer marketing in Intel's Mobile Platforms Group. "With great mobile performance, new fashionable colors for consumers and cutting-edge screen technologies, it goes to show that good things do come in small packages."
Averatec notebooks are backed by a one-year limited warranty (six months for the battery) and one-year toll-free technical support available 24/7.
