Here's a thin and light from manufacturer Averatec, that has the ability to run the future's advanced 64 bit applications. The 4100 series is equipped with an AMD Turion processor, and is one of a growing number of notebooks to feature this technology.

The 4100Averatec is a thin and light notebook from one of the new brandson the block. Like RockDirectand Twinhead,Averatec is one of the lesser known manufacturers, however, theyare anticipating 2005 sales figures to be in the region of 600million dollars, so they must be shiftingunits.

TheAveratec 4100 laptop weighs under 5 pounds (4.7), and has a 1inch profile, granted not in the subnotebook/ultralight class,but it's certainly portable. One excellent feature of the 4100,is that it's ready for the 64 bit applications of the future.That's because a Turionheart beats beneath the 4100's svelte chassis. A number of famouslaptop makers have also opted to install AMD Turion 64 processorsin some of their laptops, including Acer, HP, soAveratec are certainly in good company.

So what else do you get for your hard earned farthings? A 13.3inch widescreen display, an adequate 80GB of hard drive space,512MB of RAM, a multi-format DVD burner, and an integrated 4-in-1media reader. Ports on the 4100 Averatec include 3 USB 2.0 Ports,a Type II PCMCIASlot, 10/100 LAN (Network) Port. The 4100 also comespre-installed with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. Hopefullyyou'll never need it, but the Averatec 4100 is backed up by aone-year limited warranty (six months for the battery) andtoll-free tech support available 24/7.

If you're looking for a true ultraportable pygmy, you might wantto check out Toshiba's Libretto,which tips the scales at 2.16 pounds, and has a tiny 7.2-inchscreen. But if you're seeking a notebook with a wider display,yet still light enough to not cause you shin splints whilst onthe road, the 4100 Averatec, with it's full sized keyboard, and64 bit processor, is well worth aninvestigation.
