Who says a widescreen Centrino notebook with a bright, glassy display weighing less than 5 lbs. has to cost $2,000 or more? Averatec has a way of bringing notebooks to market that cost far less than competing brands. While Averatec's very first notebooks sold several years ago were light but average in looks and specs, their latest offerings have great specs and the looks to match, targeting potential Sony Vaio and Apple iBook buyers. Their 10.6" Averatec 1000 notebook, a part of their new lineup is also an excellent choice if you're looking for the smallest possible subnotebook, while the 13.3" 4200 fits more mainstream subnotebook tastes.The 4200's interior is finished in matte white, while the outside cover is a deep blue. Averatec plans to offer a selection of very attractive top cover colors and we saw a range of those colors in person, some of which you can see below. In addition, they'll offer a send-in service for those who wish to change their notebook's cover color.

But a pretty face isn't everything, and the Averatec's 4200 Mobile Pentium M 730 processor, Centrino architecture, 512 megs of DDR RAM, 80 gig hard drive and integrated DVD burner mean this notebook is ready for real work. It features Averatec's widescreen 13.3" AveraBrite™ display which is similar to Sony's XBrite and Fujitsu's Crystal View displays. The display is bright, sharp and has that glassy look which makes photos and movies look great.
