Alienware or Averatec?

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
I'm comparing the lightest Alienware Sentia to the . The problem is, being a novice, I cannot compare the specs (this technology versus that). My goal is the lightest weight. I burn cds and open several web windows at once. Use hotspots. Here's the Averatec specs, which are not upgradable:
Processor-- Intel Pentium M (1.1 GHz)
RAM installed-- 512 MB DDR SDRAM
Hard drive-- 80 GB IDE
CD / DVD type-- CD-RW / DVD-ROM combo
Removable storage type-- None
Input device-- Keyboard, Touchpad
Weight-- 3.5 lbs
Dimensions (W x D x H)-- 10.5 in x 8 in x 1.4 in
Display-- 10.6 in TFT active matrix
Max resolution-- 1280 x 768
Audio output-- Sound card
Networking type-- Network adapter
Modem-- 56 Kbps Fax / modem
Battery installed-- 1 Lithium ion
Mfr estimated battery life-- 3.75 hour(s)
OS provided-- Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Service & support type-- 1 year warranty

The Alienware has some choices, but I cannot figure out how to compare them one to one. Any advice? Thanks.

For what you're doing, I'd reccomend this:

Or another of Fujitsu's exteremly small an' light computers. This is coming from a very satisfied Sentia owner<<You've probably read my review>>

You are comparing apples to oranges. Kind of like comparing a Yugo to a Ferarri.

More like comparing a Hummer to a Prius.

Or, if you really want to comapre, like comparing a jeep to a normal, run of the mill car. Not very many people need, or even want jeeps, but everybody needs a car...
Or something like that.

I'm getting the idea that the Averatec is the Yugo? If so, that's funny since the Alienware, comparably specced, is cheaper.

Now I'm down to 4 options for my laptop: the Yugo 1050, the Acer Travelmate 3000 series, the Asus S5A with upgraded RAM, or the Alienware Sentia.

The latter might end up being too heavy. I'm looking for the best weight to cost ratio. Any thoughts?

no, the averatec is not the yugo. It is a 10.6" widescreen notebook, so it's obviously not going to compare favorably with beefier laptops.
