    CNET Review

    November 18, 2008

    The Good: Strikes optimal Netbook balance between portability and usability; polished look; fair price.

    The Bad: Terrible battery life; no option for solid-state hard drive; no Bluetooth.

    The Bottom Line: Two hours of battery life is simply not enough for the otherwise unobjectionable and basic Averatec Buddy Netbook.
