YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

by onabreak2 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 29 '00
Pros: Good For People Who Like to Pull Hair Out
Cons: Terrible Computer
When I found out that I had been selected to get one of the first Free Pc's I was so excited. It was like finally winning something.
What I won was a lot of frustration .
Mine Is A Compaq Presario Internet Computer or as I fondly like to call...

Emachines In General: Great Computers for Home Use

by sweetcece Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Feb 15 '01
Pros: Emachines are an affordable alternative from purchasing a more expensive brand name computer.
Cons: Emachines have been given a bad rap by a free internet promotion.
As I looked at the reviews here for eMachines in general, I have to say that it seems to me that many individuals wrote the review based on the free Internet service that used to be a part of a give-away program which used eMachines instead of the...

Gobble-Gobble

by happy2000usa Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 25 '00
Pros: Low "Up Front" Fees, "Free" PC
Cons: Poor Internet Service and Technical Support Hours
Author’s Note: This review is NOT about FreePC. It is about the GOBI PC, which is also free. When the Epinion program again permits us to create new product categories, I shall move to it’s own location under Gobi Free PC.

I’ve written before...

The Big One That Got Away

by rachelscloset , Feb 02 '00
Pros: It's free
Cons: Free PC program took up 2 Gig of HD space
I was in the first group to receive a Free PC. I was very excited. The only two problems I had were the low amount of RAM and the small 15 inch screen, both easily fixable. Once I got past those problems, surfing was pretty great. A few months later,...

eMachines: Good computers that got a bad rap.

by Gr8ful Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Feb 16 '01
Pros: Great, low cost computers that perform well and outstanding customer service and support.
Cons: Some require additional memory to be sufficient.
eMachines computers are well made computers that cover the low price end of the computer market but are not limited to this market. These computers are perhaps the most misunderstood computers in the industry. Many people think of the word "cheap" when...

5 months of pain=free pc!

by mmounsey , Jul 20 '00
Pros: It was free!
Cons: you get what you don't pay for
We were some of the lucky ones, and I use that term loosely. Both my husband and I are computer geeks, so when we heard the rumor of getting a Free PC from this company (which, by the way, got bought out by emachines), we decided to try and see if one ...

I LOVE my Free-PC, especially now!

by my3qtpies , Feb 04 '00
Pros: Free computer
Cons: none now!
Well, I didn't ever complain (ok, maybe a little) about my Free-PC, and I certainly won't complain now!
Free-PC has merged with e-machines and could no longer keep their program afloat. They decided that they would phase out the Free-Pc program,...

Obsolete; shouldn't be here

by jeremyf , Jan 22 '00
Pros: Only real free computer...
Cons: Doesn't exist!
What's the point of reviewing something that doesn't exist anymore?

FreePC was a deal where you got a free computer that ran ads on your computer 24/7. It wasn't widely available; of the millions of people who applied only a couple hundred...

To those who didn't really like their Free PCs

by rach97 , Feb 10 '00
Pros: The computers are ours to keep now!
Cons: Free internet service discontinued.
I have already written one review of Free-PC entitled "Love my FREE-PC!" I decided to write this opinion, as the company has merged with eMachines and the whole deal has changed.

I am sure that all of the people who received...

No New PCs Will Be Given Away!

by lgrover , Jan 25 '00
Pros: FREE
Cons: no longer available to new users
Free-PC was recently acquired by eMachines, which has stopped distributing new Free-PCs. You may recognize them as the manufacturer of an entire line of low cost PCs, many of them "free" with the purchase of an Internet access agreement. Like...

Best Freebie I Ever Got!

by angelamurr , Jan 21 '00
Pros: Fast Connection, FREE! FREE! FREE!
Cons: have to give credit card number
My sister registered me for a free pc and I was so excited. My husband and I had been talking about getting one lately but decided to wait. I couldn't believe I got one. So, I honestly thought this was just some kind of scam but it isn't. It's really...

FreePC, People PC, and others...

by tommiles , Dec 29 '99
Pros: some, such as the computer is free
Cons: many, you pay a lot in the long run for an outdated computer.
After careful research into FreePC and others like it I found that it was not really so free. The ads and banner type thing that was installed on your Free computer and you could not remove it if you wanted to keep the computer was obnoxious and very...

CONGRATULATIONS!....too bad I never signed up.....

by tam3 , Jan 22 '00
Pros: its FREE, its worth $600, but its FREE
Cons: I don't see any real cons.
I signed up for the free-PC program ages ago, and didn't think anything more about it (since it was supposed to be free, if I got it, I got it; if I didn't, I didn't put anything into it anyways) UNTIL I got a congratulations email telling me I qualified...

Love my FREE PC

by rach97 , Jan 23 '00
Pros: free computer, free internet access
Cons: ads always on the screen
I saw the offer on the Bloomberg Tech Report on the local news, and decided it wouldn't hurt to sign up. I had bought a computer the year before, but my husband (who supposedly hated computers) had taken it over for his games, and caused me to have many...
