Averatec’s HS-105 Netbook Has Decent Specs, Lacks Pine Trail
December 23rd, 2009 by Jeffrey L. Wilson 
You know that Pine Trail platform that’s supposed to assist OEMs in creating thinner, more battery-efficient netbooks? Well, it looks like Averatec didn’t get the heads up when it went into designing the HS-105, a mini-notebook that instantly looks dated thanks to Intel’s new hardware.
To be fair, the HS-105 appears to be fairly decent with its 10.1-inch (1024 x 600) LCD display, 160GB (or 250GB) hard drive, 2GB of RAM, 945GSE GPU, and 1.3-megapixel webcam, but the 1.6-GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU may relegate it to the kiddie table. Netbooks already have a difficult time differentiating themselves from one another, and outdated CPUs don’t exactly help the cause.
