Averatec D1133 all-in-one desktop PC

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

While Dell has released its Studio One 19, Averatec will also jump on this segment with the Averatec D1133, desktop PC of 18.4″ (1680×945 resolution) all-in-One (AIO) where the price starts from $600 and that looks like a monitor stuck on a netbook … Here’s what’s inside the Averatec D1133:

  • AMD Athlon X2 1.5GHz
  • Display of 18.4″ (1680×945, 16:9) with 1.3-megapixel webcam
  • 2GB RAM, 250GB hard drive, DVD player
  • USB 2 (4), eSATA (1), Audio in/out, 10/100 Ethernet, DVI, 4-in-1 memory card reader, WIFI-G
  • GPU ATI Radeon HD 3200
  • Vista Home Basic

In general, it is less powerful than the Dell Studio One 19 and it has no touch option, but it could be “sufficient” for a basic use such as web browsing, email, and decoding of video in full screen. We prefer the design of the Studio One, and of course the iMac.
