The Averatec is a lower-cost Nettop with a smaller screen and a smaller hard drive, but its AMD Athlon X2 is also much faster than the Intel Atom N330 chip in the Asus.

For a PC, I would agree that the Averatec is a decent buy, but I don’t see why would you recommend it as a purchase against an iBook that had higher resale, more external buses and expansion capability, more software, the easiest updating system of any OS, higher reliability according to Consumer Reports, and higher levels of owner satisfaction than comparable units.

The Averatec didn't come with backup CDs because it came installed with backup software instead, which took me a while to figure out.

Meanwhile, a friend has an old laptop (yet still newer and more powerful than my Averatec) that also has a power problem that he doesn't care to fix, and he's willing to let me have the broken laptop for free.

My plan is this: Take his broken Compaq to a trustworthy independent repair service, have it fixed (if cost effective), then use that one while submitting my Averatec to the Geek Squad once again, to let them sit on it indefinitely while waiting for a pterodactyl to come swooping out of the sky with the correct (but clearly obsolete) Averatec battery.
