Averatec 4200: Colour for the people

Colourful design, 13.3’’ AveraBrite-Wide Screen and Intel Centrino Technology at only £899 inc. VAT.

A deep blue cover and pure white interior, the Averatec 4200 is a real eye-catcher. And at the same time it is a professional and a particularly handy gadget for everybody. Despite its 13.3” wide screen, the first Averatec Sonoma notebook is only a thumb width wider than traditional 12.1” notebooks. But this thumb makes all the difference. The new Averatec 4200 offers a screen experience par excellence: The new AveraBrite™ Technology ensures that images are not only pin sharp but also rich in contrast. The display resolution is up to 50% brighter than normal LCD displays. The unusual format of the Averatec 4200 is additionally emphasised by its colourful premium design. But the new notebook is far more than a trendy accessory. Due to high quality manufacturing, Intel Centrino Technology (Sonoma), 80 GB hard disk, Dual DVD Burner, Wireless LAN, High Speed FireWire, three USB 2.0 ports and 4:1 Card-Reader, the Averatec 4200 is a professionally equipped mobile work station at an absolutely fair consumer-price of only £899. And another convincing example for to the ‘business features to consumer’-strategy of Averatec.



Working, watching films, burning DVDs – the Averatec 4200 injects joy into mobile living. Not only due to the colourful design but especially because of its ultra bright screen as the Averatec 4200 works with AveraBrite™ Technology and offers up to 128 MB shared memory Video RAM. This does not only imply a pin sharp picture with WXGA resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels but the display is with a brightness of 250 cd/m2 up to 50% brighter than traditional notebook displays. This means a clear picture even when working outside in the bright sun. The Averatec 4200 offers plenty of reason to enjoy mobile working with Smart Lithium-Ion batteries providing a run time of up to 3.5 hours.



The interior of the Averatec 4200, the first Sonoma notebook by Averatec, works with an Intel Pentium M 730 processor with 1.6 GHz, offering mobile performance with Centrino Technology. The working memory with 512 MB and an 80 GB hard disk ensure enough space even for large files. Additional equipment all comes in multi media format:

DVD-Dual (+/-) burner are standard on board as well as a 4:1 Card-Reader for multi media Card, SD Card, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro. Wireless LAN (802.11g), Ethernet and modem are integrated, as with all Averatec notebooks. Stereo loud speakers and a video exit complete this equipment. Quick and easy connectivity is enabled via High Speed FireWire as well as three USB 2.0 ports.



The Averatec 4200 also delivers comprehensive customer service. A one year Pick Up & Return warranty coupled with a low cost help line 08712 40 50 60 is something other notebook manufacturers usually lack.
