Averatec unveils its second All-in-One PC; the Atom-powered A1

Averatec A1 All In One PC

Averatec’s first venture into the All-in-One PC market may not have been that successful because of its high price. Hence, the company is trying its hands once again with the release of the A1 all-in-one PC. And what better way to come up with a cheaper All In One PC but to have it powered by Intel’s Atom processor.

And so with the A1 PC, we’re looking at a cross breed between nettop and a normal desktop boasting of an 18.4-inch display with a resolution of 1680 x 945 and a 16:9 aspect ratio. This All In One PC will be powered by a 1.6GHz Atom processor and will have 1GB of memory and 160GB of hard drive. Averatec also put in Wi-Fi as a standard feature plus a 1.3-megapixel camera. In addition, the A1 PC will only be running Windows XP out of the box, sorry Linux fans.

Now for the pricing, the A1 All In One PC will retail for around $723, which is a big reduction from Averatec’s previous All In One which cost more than $1,000. The A1 All In One PC will start shipping in Europe sometime in October. No word yet as to whether it will be released in the US.
