The ultraportable laptop is set for a summer revival, with high-profile systems including the Toshiba R500 and Dell XPS m1330 offering ever-slimmer and more powerful options. But these new systems are both expensive and still a ways off, so for the space-challenged or the frequent traveler looking for a 12-inch laptop at a reasonable price, there's a lot to like about the $899 Averatec 2371. We're not overly impressed with this AMD-based ultraportable's performance, especially compared with the latest Intel Centrino Duo systems, but for the money, it offers acceptable performance and good looks. You'd be hard-pressed to find a cheaper ultraportable.
