For anyone else curious, weight is 8 pounds.

8lbs is quite heavy for a 12.1 inch-

 

how is the review?

Similiar Averatec tablet PC's start at $1,199.99 on BestBuy.com

The Computer Geeks reported weight may be a bit off.

 

The manufacturer site states 5.5 lbs.

 

Edit: at second glance, the weight mentioned is the shipping weight.

Eh, tablets are very overrated!

 

We've had one for about a year or slightly more than that, besides the initial "Whoa, this is cool" factor it isn't that great...

5.5 pounds with 12.1" display seems more realistic.

Yeah as ActuaryTm pointed out the 8 pounds listed is the shipping weight, actual appears to be 5.5lbs. I have recently been looking at tablet PC's. I am set to start back to college in a few months, and was looking forward to the new models supposedly coming out in the next month or 2. But this is a pretty decent deal, not quite the machine I wanted, but definately a little more wallet friendly then many of the other models I have been looking at.

 

Wonder what kind of condition they are in? Man this is a tough call for me.

 

 

Also in case anyone else checks there, I was reading the review from CNET and they list it as a 1.67Ghz CPU, the 2200+ if I recall correctly is actually a 1.8, right?
