| Averatec AV7160 EC1 Review |
The lure of a big screen notebook like the Averatec AV7160-EC1 is hard to resist as you navigate the laptop aisle. While the machine boasts the promising combination of a huge 17-inch widescreen and an attractive price ($1,199), a little shopping around will net you better performance and even more multimedia features for about the same cost.The sharp-looking AV7160 is clad in a glossy black shell with silver accents. Averatec should be commended for shaving the unit's weight to a slight 7.2 pounds; many 17-inch notebooks we've seen weigh more than eight pounds. Still, this is no featherweight, and the big screen makes this system too bulky to tote often.
Flip open the large lid and you'll find the AV7160's glossy widescreen. The AveraBrite technology helps deliver sharp images with rich, deep colors. The downside is noticeable glare and reflection, especially in brightly lit rooms. Viewing-angle performance from the panel was superb, with no color shift or drop in brightness as we moved off axis. The WXGA+ (1440 x 900) resolution lets you work in comfort, without requiring you to employ large fonts or high zoom levels. However, fans of high-res screens take note: Other 17-inch laptops are available with 1680 x 1050 panels. :: LAPTOP Magazine • Averatec AV7160-EC1 :: Linked by LT Hacker
