| | Averatec 6200 Review |
 | | The company's site says "Mobile Theater," not "Media Center PC"; shoppers need to be clear that the new Averatec 6200 runs Windows XP Home Edition, not Media Center Edition 2004, and doesn't have a TV tuner for watching or DVD burner for recording shows. |
 | | What the $1,250 notebook does have is the ability to play movies or music without booting Windows at all: Buttons on its front edge, on either side of a small backlit minute-counter LCD like that of a VCR, let you use the Athlon XP-M 2400+ computer as a personal DVD or CD player. |
 | | We should note that your airplane seatmates won't have to listen to your film of choice, since microphone and headphone jacks are found on the Averatec's front edge, next to the LCD and volume up/down, play/pause, previous/next track, stop/eject, control menu, and power buttons for the DVD/CD player. |
