DESCRIPTION
Intel Core 2 Duo (2.2 GHz), 2 GB DDR II SDRAM, 6.4 lbs, 15.4 in TFT active matrix, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
THE GOOD Magnesium alloy case feels rock solid; light price and lightweight compared with the ruggedized competition; Smart Card and SIM card slots; well-rounded configuration delivers ample performance.
THE BAD Not configurable; Draft N Wi-Fi is absent; online support is more miss than hit for this model.
THE BOTTOM LINE As perhaps the most affordable ruggedized laptop, the Averatec Voya 6494 is a tempting choice, even if you don't work in the field under harsh conditions.
