Hi Daniel,

I have an Averatec C3500 convertible, and it seems to run fine. I
have some software issues with the machine, but I expect them to be
resolved when I buy the Averatec Recovery Disk (SP2 version).

I initially had some complaint about performance but since upgrading
it to 1GB of RAM, it does all right.

Just so that you know, hard disk & RAM upgrades must be done by an
authorized repair station or you will void your warranty. Best Buy
did my RAM upgrade for $40. The RAM itself was $70 a piece for 512MB
SoDIMMS.

Ciao . . . C.Joseph

The forums I've been reading indicate no major problems except that
some of them have a do not tamper unless you wish to void your
warranty sticker over the memory and hd areas. There is a heck of an
Averatec deal at Sam's club and they have a six month return policy,
no restocking fee. I'm almost ready to give it a try.

I have used a Sotec 3120X for a year and a half with no problems. Sotec
became Averatec and they still sell a laptop of the same basic size;
works fine for my needs.
