Thinnest Netbook — Averatec N1200

Averatec N1200 thumb

When it comes to netbooks there is no such thing as too thin nor too light, and the new Averatec N1200 is certainly both. The 10-inch netbook weighs in at a svelte 2.2 pounds, in a case that is less than an inch thick. There are three different models of the N1200, all of them running on Intel’s Atom N450 (1.66 GHz) processor. Equally impressive as the small size is the small price, with the N1200 starting at $329.

The cheapest model has 1 GB of memory and a 160 GB hard drive to round out the typical netbook guts. The most expensive model comes in at $379 and throws in a 250 GB hard drive and Windows 7 Starter. This top dollar model also comes with an extended battery rated at 6 hours; the other two models have a 3 hour battery.
