Averatec Mimics Mac with All-in-One Desktop
July 07, 2008 | by Nick Mokey
Averatec's All-in-One desktop sizes up closely to Apple's entry-level iMac, but features a bold black exterior, a bigger screen, and more power, for a similar price.
Californian PC manufacturer Averatec hopped on the already crowded iMac clone bandwagon Monday with the launch of its All-in-One PC. The 22-inch machine will bring a host of high-power hardware to the game at a price just a hair more expensive than Apple’s cheapest 20-incher.
Much like the iMac and its horde of PC-based offspring, Averatec’s All-in-One packs all its hardware up around the monitor to fit into a single flat slab, but the exterior has been drenched in a decidedly un-Apple-like gloss black. Inside, there’s the same 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo that Apple’s cheapest iMac runs, but Averatec bests the original in other areas with 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, and a Nvidia GeForce 8800 graphics card. And there’s also an optional high-def TV tuner to make use of the 1680 x 1050 display.
Averatec hasn’t yet announced a firm date when the All-in-One will show up at retailers, but when it does, it will retail for $1,249.
