AVERATEC DEBUTS ADDITIONS TO 3300/3200 NOTEBOOKS SERIES.

Averatec Inc. (UIR:VGN6525), has debuted additions to its "thin-and-light" 3300 and 3200 notebook series, designed for always-connected business professionals and general consumers. Powered by the Intel Pentium M processor with Centrino Mobile Technology and Mobile AMD Sempron, the notebooks provide longer battery life, integrated high-speed wireless and enhanced mobile performance.

Weighing about 4.5 pounds and 1-inch thin, Averatec's 3300 and 3200 series deliver a full complement of portable computing features in one of the smallest form factors on the market. The notebooks are particularly popular due to their feature-packed configurations that come standard with 512MB memory, 60 or 80GB hard drives, integrated media reader and multi-format DVD burner drives. Combining processing power with multimedia capabilities, Averatec's thin-and-light series delivers a cost-effective, notebook package.

"Mobile computing applications increasingly are becoming more complex, requiring higher levels of processor performance coupled with maximum preservation of battery power," said Saeed Shahbazi, president of Averatec. "By offering two platforms with different processors, Averatec is able to meet the needs of consumers regardless of their specification preference".

Intel Centrino Mobile Technology significantly enhances the power management features of Averatec's 3360 notebook computer, enabling longer battery life in a lighter, easy-to-carry form factor. Intel Centrino Mobile Technology also delivers fully integrated wireless LAN capability in addition to support for the most current security standards in wireless connectivity.

The Averatec model 3270 notebook features AMD's new Mobile AMD Sempron processor with PowerNow! technology to maximize notebook battery life and offer computing performance on demand. AMD's power-saving mobile Sempron extends battery life and delivers optimized performance for the thin-and-light notebook.

Averatec notebooks are backed by a one-year limited warranty (six months for the battery) and one-year toll-free technical support available 24/7. Averatec products can be purchased through major national retailers as well as distribution and reseller channels. The notebooks are also available directly through the Averatec Web site at http://www.averatec.com.
