A budy of mine just got back from iraq, and came home with an averatec laptop. It appears to be a US company. I was wondering if anyone had ever had any expereince with them. It seems like a hell of a deal.

Is this a pretty good deal or would I just be getting screwed
It seems like a great deal because it uses an old single core processor. I think you could find better stuff out there and not sacrifice too much money.
I just found one on tigerdirect.com. Same company, but uses a dual core proc for only $699. Averatec N2370. take note though, it's refurbished.
I just got a trade in from an old customer of one of those except it is a Turion MT-40 2.2Ghz, 80 Gig 7,200 rpm, 2 Gigs RAM, 108 G+ wireless and I need to send it in to have a power plug replaced.
If I could get $699 for it, I'd be doing cartwheels!
