Averatec N3400 is light and good price

This MacBook Air-like laptop has a decent configuration, cast aluminum casing, but costs only about $ 800 (overseas market).

Averatec N3400 with high quality aluminum case was officially launched last week in the US for $ 800. This 13-inch laptop has decent configuration, including Intel Pentium Dual T3400 processor 2.16 GHz, 3GB RAM, and 250 GB HDD. According to the general trend of thin and light ultraportables, the N3400 also comes with an external DVD burner, a strong contrasting black soft rubber housing with a solid, aluminum aluminum case.

The design of Averatec N3400 makes it easy for many people to associate and compare with the MacBook Air super product. In fact, Averatec N3400 has twice the thickness of the MacBook Air, but the thickest place on the body is only 2.5 cm. In addition, the two bodies have the same width and depth (327 x 228 mm).

Averatec N3400 uses 13-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels. This is a pretty glossy screen with very good horizontal viewing angles. Besides, this screen has a convenient 180 degree backward angle.

Inside is a spacious keyboard and touch pad. Look closely to see that the Averatec N3400 keyboard is quite similar to the Acer Aspire AO751h or the Dell Mini 10 with wide, moderately painted keys.

Touch pad looks quite fancy with many small icons arranged both above and below. These are shortcuts with the volume control function, open the Mail box, open the Web browser, and users can customize it to suit their quick access application. But to exploit this feature, you need to switch the working mode to "Icon mode" by clicking the icon on the top right. In this mode, the normal feature of the touch pad will not be used. Although quite new, this feature is not really convenient to use because it has to switch between 2 working modes.

The mouse button is quite responsive and smooth but as per the evaluation of many people, 2 separate mouse buttons are still more convenient.

The right side of the device is 2 USB ports, headphone and microphone jacks. The left side adds a USB port and a 4-in-1 memory card slot. The VGA and Ethernet video output ports are at the bottom with a plastic protective cover like the Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell netbook. The other "study" design of the part helps Averatec N3400 look better but it shows "doping".
