We knew it was approaching, and currently Averatec’s is an formally unveiled Buddy, another 10.2-inch, Atom N270-based net book. 10.2-inch netbook is not a stray far from that pattern laid down by Eee 1000 and Wind, actually extra new photos we have dug up seem to demonstrate that 10.2-inch net book not a straight up Wind rebadge as before implied — which that could be a good or bad obsession, depending on Averatec’s notice to detail and / or OEM partner. The latest laptop manage 1GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD, Windows XP Home and WiFi for a sensible $450, and that should be hitting sell shelves and online provisions soon.

Averatec Buddy 10.2-inch netbook that have taken wraps off of their newest net book, the Buddy, with a 10.2-inch screen and Intel Atom 1.6GHz single-core CPU. As you might be expecting, qualifications are not an anything inventive: 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard-drive and Wife. Say it with me: another case of netbook-by-numbers. Averatec Buddy 10.2-inch netbook. Are hyping up their keyboard, recitation it as “generous” for the netbooks dense size, actually I can’t picture that netbooks especially dissimilar from that of other 10-inch machine such as MSI’s Wind or Eee PC 1000-series. Possibly with all that type space you could have dropped in 3G, a fingerprint scanner and Bluetooth, eh?

The Averatec netbooks Buddy will be accessible with an MRSP of $449.99, making it cheaper than MSI Wind. However netbooks uncertain whether Buddy will be consist of a 3, 4 or 6-cell battery pack, and in information company does not talk about battery life at all.
