In the U.S. the 10.6″ Centrino-based Averatec 1100 ‘almost-UMPC’ has been available for a while and at $1199 it isn’t a bad deal indeed for an Ultra Mobile Notebook. Imagine a i7210 ultra mobile PC with larger screen, DVD-writer, keyboard and a bit of extra weight for about the same price.
In Germany, the older, but similar specification 1050 had been knocking around for a long time at the Euro1500 mark which is just too much. A few hundred Euros more and you’ve got the lovely Fujitsu P1510d in your hands.
However, I suspect Averatec are ready to clear out the old stock as the price has just dropped by 30% (500 Euro) to just 999 Euro inclusive tax.
For anyone wanting an ultra-mobile notebook for everyday tasks, the 1050 represents one of the cheapest options for an ultra-light ultra-small notebook at the moment. Especially as the JVC XP741 and similar 941 are no longer available.
