Pros: Easy to add additional components - very reliable

I have a 5 computer network on DSL at my house. One of the computers in this network is the Emachine 300.

I cannot say enough good things about it. It's faster than the HP Pavillion 333 I also have. The architecture is simple and easy to...

Pros: affordable, easy to use, easy to setup, no problems yet
Cons: Emachine prefers they install new HD and stuff like that

For my birthday this year I recieved a refrubished Emachine desktop computer. I was in need of a good desktop computer that would handle Office 97 and the internet easily.

I think mine is a 300Mzh, 32MB RAM, 2 GB HD with 56k Modem. I have...

Pros: low price, expandable, reliable, very fast
Cons: cheap CD-R drive

EMachines were the first personal computers priced under $500. After doing a lot of research and comparison shopping, I decided on the eMachine 333i (at the time this was their fastest model). It came with a 24x CD-rom player, 32 megs of RAM, a 3.2 gig...

Pros: Inexpensive computer
Cons: Modem probably won't last, windows 98 version that comes on CD may add to problems with computer.

I've had this computer for a year. The first thing that went wrong with it was the modem, about two months after I bought it... An inconvenience, not a disaster. I had experienced modem failure with another computer (that modem only lasted 48 hours!),...

Pros: Inexpensive, Replacement Warranty Available
Cons: Numerous

I purchased an emachines desktop under unusual circumstances. Office Depot had a loss-leader ad for a Compaq computer for $699, and I was there for the Presario. But they were sold out and wouldn't give rain checks.

The salesman,...

Pros: Easy to use, relatively stable, AMD K6 CPU, ATI Video
Cons: Slow, little memory both RAM and HDD.

I've had an emachines etower 300k for about two years now. Only the price was considered at the time; the system came with a 15" monitor, HP 697C printer (a very good one) and two horrible speakers.... did I just call them speakers?:o) A $50 rebate was...

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Poor customer service, buggy computer

The old saying, "you get what you pay for", certainly holds true with EMachines.

If you're looking for a very inexpensive computer to hold you over...then an ETower may be right for you.

But if you're looking for...

Pros: Inexpensive, good for beginners
Cons: E Machines choose to use Celeron 300 instead of 300A. The Celeron 300 has no L2 cache, and thus runs far slower

Emachines is one of the companies that started the Free PC craze. Although the business model of Emachines does not call for giving away the machines, ultra low prices combined with bundled multi year internet contracts has led to machines of this class...

Pros: cheap, totally adequate performance
Cons: small hard drive, poor quality components and design

OK, here's the scoop: if all you need to do is word process and browse the Web, and won't be devastated if the thing conks out on you, by all mean, buy an Emachine. I purchased one in January of '99, and while I've had some problems, I still think I got...

Pros: price, reliability
Cons: weak processor, small memory, hd

A while back I found myself itching for a computer. I did some reviewing of current models on the market and thought I had in mind what I was looking for. I ended up going to one of those traveling bizzarres that comes to the Civic Center ever few...

Pros: Very inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, Terrible customer service

I bought an emachines in Dec. of 1998 for my in-laws. It was back-ordered (bought through PC Mall) and did not arrive until February of 1999!! PC Mall and Emachines played the "it's their fault" game even after I informed them that I was...

Pros: See above
Cons: No toll-free assistance telephone number

So you want to speed on the Information Highway, but don't want to pay an exorbitant price?! Welcome to e-machines!!! After seeing Dell, Gateway and various products advertised on QVC, I was determined to pay less than a grand for a complete computer...

Pros: inexpensive to buy, operate easy to use
Cons: no local hands-on support

I bought the Emachines 300c at the beginning of 1999. My previous experience with computers ranged from early Tandy through Commadors to Memorex Telex. The reason I bought the 300c was budget limitations. I compared the specifics of the popular...

Pros: A good machine for the money
Cons: It will probably be outdated very quickly

We bought our emachine one year ago, and it has been the best machine that we could have gotten for the money that we spent. I have so many friends who went to the store and and spent a couple of thousand dollars on their new computer systems. We just...

Pros: Excellent Value
Cons: 32MB Ram (Upgrade it)

Bought the machine around Christmas of 1998, mainly to have Microsoft Office and Internet at home. Since it does only have a 32MB Ram drive applications do run somewhat slow (Compared to machines on the job), but the machine is easily upgradeable, and...
