Averatec announced its first netbook called Buddy. The netbook has the normal specs you find on the market today with a 10.2-inch LCD, 160GB HDD, 1GB of RAM and a 1.6GHz Atom CPU.

The netbook runs Windows XP and has Wi-Fi onboard as well. Averatec's Buddy will retail for $449.99. There is nothing here that isn’t already offered on other netbooks on the market. Averatec is usually known for lower prices on its product than competitors, even the price on the case is about average.

The Averatec brand, predominantly known for its style conscious, innovative mobile products, has hit the right chord with the launch of this companion notebook product. "The timing and launch of Buddy is a welcomed addition for our customer base. Buddy as well as our all new 18.4" All-In-One desktop will clearly emphasize our commitment to our customers and our desire to be on the leading edge of these emerging computer trends," commented Darren Lee, Director of Marketing at Trigem USA. "It has been an exciting time for us, the scope and breadth of our product line really caters to what our market has been asking for," Lee further states.
