Averatec AV1050-EB1

The AV1050-EB1 is Averatec’s lightest notebook, weighing just 3.5 pounds (system), with impressive features like a built-in optical drive and an 80GB hard drive—both rare finds among ultraportables. Another rarity: The AV1050-EB1 is an affordable $1,379 (direct). For highly mobile consumers who want a feature-filled ultralight, it’s worth a close look. -PC Magazine
