One Speedy Laptop,
By Tennis MD (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Averatec AV6130HS-20 Laptop (3.00 GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, DVD+/-RW Drive) (Personal Computers)
Bought this computer at Sam's club today. I got tired of my old Dell Inspiron 8100 (P3 1.0 ghz) crashing on me and freezing up on me. Never heard from Averatec before but seems like a lot of people buying this brand because of excellent value. This computer is blazingly fast and it is a great deal/price considering all the goods that came with it. DVD burner, a decent graphics card and a P4 3.0 ghz. Obviously, I cannot comment on how it compares to other P4 laptops. It is more of a desktop replacement weighing in at 7.7 lbs. The keyboard is quiet and the fan is quiet. Will comment on durability later.
IT IS NOW 5 MONTHS LATER. COMPUTER SHUTS DOWN BY ITSELF FREQUENTLY BECAUSE IT OVERHEATS. I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PRODUCT: 1 STAR NOW (OUT OF 5).

Was great at first... but garbage now!,
By Myst (Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Averatec AV6130HS-20 Laptop (3.00 GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, DVD+/-RW Drive) (Personal Computers)
When I first purchased this laptop from Future Shop I was overjoyed with the performance.
It has been 3 months since, and now it gets extremely hot, the casing has warped all over the place from the heat, and anytime I open any application other than Internet Explorer or try to play music, everything grinds to a halt and then the laptop just turns off! What a waste of money!

Amazon has wrong specs listed for this model Averatec.,
This review is from: Averatec AV6130HS-20 Laptop (3.00 GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, DVD+/-RW Drive) (Personal Computers)
It has a DVD +/- record DVD drive as the title suggests but the specs have listed otherwise, also its screen is 1280x800, wide format. The photos you get when you click on the above image are also for a different Averatec laptop, although the photo above is correct.
This is the second Averatec laptop that I have purchased and I am happy with what I got for the prices I paid. The cases are a bit cheap and have warped a bit from the heat of normal opertation, otherwise they have performed flawlessly. If they cost more I would have to knock a star or two off, but for this price you cant beat them. Mobile PC magazine had a good review of this exact model which you can read at Averatec's web site, www.averatec.com
