Averatec N3400 - A Review of the Averatec N3400

Sturdy and stylish chassis, Fast boot time, Good overall performance, External optical drive included

Mediocre endurance, Noisy fan, Battery not easily replaceable, Mainly business-hours tech support

The touchpad also supports multitouch gestures; by dragging two fingers across the pad, you can scroll through open windows, rotate images, and zoom in and out of pages.

Good for the price

The processor is nothing great, but it can still handle running all the programs and games I use. I would say this is a good product for anyone looking for a general-use computer at a reasonable price. Got one for my Mom and she uses it all the time.

Great performance and value

This laptop is really great. Previously, I was using a netbook as my main computer and it just wasn't cutting it. I decided to ditch my netbook and went for this Averatec N3442 series laptop. The appearance of this laptop is visually striking. The...

What Averatec did for me!

My second laptop was an Averatec, it was a nice computer. Long after the warranty was expired it started overheating; since it was such a good computer I thought of trying to fix it instead of buying a new one. I called Averatec to try to extend the...

Nice little PC

I was kind of worried to buy a pc brand that I was not familiar with, since I normally purchase Dell laptops. When I received the computer it was great, looks, performance, features, everything was awesome. I tried formatting the pc to install a new...

Awesome deal, one issue...

Exactly what I expected, system is awesome so far. There WAS a dead pixel just left of smack dab in the middle, but I was able to rub it out for a quick fix! Also, the keys are a bit iffy, I am not sure if it is going to be an issue but they sort of...

Don't buy this! It acts like an used battery!

I purchased this battery recently. My original battery use to last me 2 hours on my Toshiba laptop. Recently it only lasts for 1 hour. Not long enough to watch a full length movie. This battery fully charged only last me 50 minutes. It sure does...
