A Powerful Lemon
Yes, it's a powerful piece of machinery for the price.Video editing, AutoCAD, basic Mental Ray renders in Alias Maya, high-demand games: this computer could do it.Then, three months out of the box, the display went dead.Poof!The nice man at tech support told me I'd have to ship it to the States (I'm in the UK on business for five months) to get it serviced.Great!Shortly after that conversation, the main fan started rattling.So now I have a heavy, very noisy laptop connected to a monitor.Desktop replacement indeed.

got it . It is worh the extra $$$ for the barton
People, for doing this over 10 years and AMD doing the whole shpiel about it not being "true" speed is crap. waste a lil more money toward a barton chip it is really worth it. they are ALOT more stable when overclocked! ALSO IMPORTANT: buy another cpu core cooler like a thermaltake volcano series where u can crank the suckers up to 4800 rpms!!! this keeps them from overheating the ones that come in box are not good enough.

...Mobo but it is 333
People, if you don't know anything about AMD cpus don't buy them.If you bought it live with it.Otherwise buy Intel and be happy with it.

Something is rotten in Denmark
I agree with the previous reviewer. I bought this one because it was listed as a 266 mhz fsb and would work with my motherboard. On the package it says it has a 333 fsb. When I run AMD's processor ID program it tells me it's an AMD athlon xp 2000+ not a 2600. It runs at 1.660 ghz not the 2.13 as advertised. Wow, I paid over [$$$]for a .1 increase. What a bargain, not. Read more

Dont buy averatec
Whatever you do... Don't buy averatec.After 3 months the motherboard died.It's now been over a month sitting in their warranty shop and every time I call for a status update I get a different story... "oh, the parts are in, and it should ship within a day" --- two days later "the parts aren't in yet"
Worst Customer Service
I have a averatec 5110H model laptop.PLEASE DONT BUY anything from averatec.The laptops monitor had a problem only after a week i bought.The customer service is VERY VERY bad.They take 2 weeks time to repair/replace anything.This is during the warranty period(1 yr).Thereafter,if anything goes wrong you have to ship it back to them,as they dont sell any of their parts outside.Now, this time they took 4 weeks time to repair.Compare this with DELL/MAC.its a 3 days reponse time.

JUNK complete and total including support
Purchased in July used maybe a total of 10 times. Modem dies they replaced shipping was at my expense, also replaced something else I had not a problem with, but then again it was returned filthy, with keyboard ware, scratched, not in original box, serial # taped over looking like NOT MY MACHINE!! Sent back for battery replacement, and scratch & filth and returned without replacing the battery they switched out my machine with another. Battery died after 3 times it was turned on for 5-10 min. They will not return any e-mails. Will not acknowledge.

Why is it such a bargain...?
I am mostly satisfied with this computer. My issues are that after 6 months my battery has died. The screen is plastic and I don't feel safe carrying it around from place to place out of fear it will break. Then again this is NOT a computer that you would "work on the go" with. This is definitely a desktop replacement. Also I don't know if it's Windows or the AMD 64 3200+ processor, but this computer does not run smoothly at all. I routinely have to power down (which means unplugging it and taking out the battery that stopped working) because the computer refuses to do anything. I'll click on an icon, the hourglass appears, then the arrow comes back... and all I see is my screen saver. When I press C-A-D, the task manager doesn't indicate anything, and the system will not allow me to restart or power down. I also routinely have to shutdown explorer because it locks up. I have never used the combo drive for burning DVD's, so I have no comment there. Personally I am not a gamer, but I don't think I would trust this computer to hang with intense graphics and sound. It doesn't handle DVD's as well as I had hoped, but it does play DVD's well enough. Also you can only upgrade one stick of RAM. You start out with two 256mb sticks. I got this computer for a decent price, but in the end I realize that I got what I paid for.
Great Value Solid Machine
My kids use it as a gamer, My wife and I for home office. Machine is always on just about replacing our desktop. Tied in nicely to our wireless network with ease. Widescreen with brightscreen is great for dvds in the suv. So far no problems. Going to try converting some home vhs to dvd next will let you know.

Good value...
My system is configured slightly different; I have a 60 GB hard drive.I like the system very much.It has great performance.When I bought the laptop, I was not sure if I would like having the widescreen.It's heavier and doesn't fit in a normal-size laptop carrying case.But I love the wider screen.I can keep the Favorites explorer bar displayed all the time when using Internet Explorer.And the display quality when playing DVD movies is awesome.
