Performance
Despite being configured with a healthy array of parts, the Averatec 4265 delivered disappointingly slow application performance in our benchmarks. The Averatec 4265's performance should prove adequate for basic productivity work, but avid multitaskers and other power users can get better performance for not much more money.
Making up for its unimpressive performance was the Averatec 4265's stamina. In our battery-drain tests, the portable lasted for a solid 3 hours, 33 minutes, slightly above the average for its category, and time enough to get a decent amount of work done away from a power outlet.

Good: Slim and light
Bad: Non-ergonomic design
Comment: Slim and light, that's fine, but application performance is low. It is non ergonomic also.
Two USB connectors, ethernet interface, modem interface and PCMCIA slot are at right
hand side where you usually keep your mouse. There is no room for external mouse
for right-handed people. Couldn't the designer find another place for the ethernet interface? It should have been placed at the back side.
