eMachines eMonster

Pros: Cost/value, graphics performance, functionality
Cons: No included software, poor speakers, more USB ports

In this age of ever faster processors, enormous hard drives, and soaring prices I had a revelation: How much fast does a hard drive need to spin to surf the WWW without a hitch? How much processor speed does it take to drive my spreadsheets? How much...

Pros: More powerful than most Emachines offerings
Cons: cheap component selection, not expandable

For anyone who may be unfamiliar with them, EMachines is the company that is generally credited with creating the ultra-low cost PC. When you see a brand new machine going for under $500, chances are it is an Emachines PC. Typically these PCs are bundled...

Pros: Power for the price
Cons: Bare bones for software

There are a lot of people slamming this machine. If you read their reviews it seems to me that most, if not all, of them have never operated the eMonster 500. They are basing their opinion on previous eMachines. That is not reviewing this product!...

Pros: GREAT VALUE!!!!
Cons: you might just get a lemon (but you might not)

I got my eMonster for free...sort of. I originally bought an e466id. It started out awesome. I paid 600 dollars for a faster computer with a bigger hard drive than my roomate's 2500 dollar Gateway. But I soon found that you might just get what you...

Pros: Its cheap
Cons: Zero Tech Support, poorly built, basically everything except the price.

I walked into my Fry's electronic store is search of a computer. I began to look at the desktops, where about half of them within my price range were e-Machines. The computer claimed, "Never out of date thanks to e-Machines network! Upgrade for $99!". A...

Pros: Cheap cheap cheap, and not a piece of junk.
Cons: It's like saying you drive a Hyundai

I always expect to get what I pay for. But I can't figure out what all those Dell, Compaq, Gateway, and IBM owners have that I don't, except a bigger bill.

I bought an eMonster for my home a couple months ago: Pentium III 500mhz, 64M RAM,...

Pros: Value, loaded for the money
Cons: Speakers, lack of software

The eMonster is a great workhorse for previous computer owners. It will take some time to load in your software and old files since it comes with a very bare software component. But once you have everything loaded to your satisfaction everything sails...

Pros: Value
Cons: Somewhat Limited Expandability

You will never hear a negative word from me about Emachines. My recently purchased Emonster is my second Emachine and I am definitely sold. This may not be the machine for a fanatical gamer but for anyone else? Rock solid performance at a rock bottom...

Pros: Great system, excellent bang for buck ratio
Cons: Not as forgiving as some systems, so you have use common sense. Water and PCs do not mix, nor does soda look good on a keyboard.

Well, I'm an Emachines owner now for 3 years and an EMonster 500 (the good one with the Voodoo3 2000 AGP card) and have just some advice for owners and lookers alike. For those who want a good gaming system and also something that can hold its own as a...

Pros: it's ok when it works
Cons: cheap piece of junk

This review is for any e-machine... There's a reason why e-machine's are so cheap...they use nothing but the cheapest parts, and they dont care about the quality of those parts...there processor is a cheap celeron and there pretty much stripped out...

Pros: faster than alot of computers
Cons: not enough memory need to upgrade

E-machine compupter one of my favorites and one of the best out on the market. I picked this computer because of the awsome features that came with it because they impressed me alot. I found the features very good and the qualities of the products that...

Pros: Great performance for the price
Cons: None so far

As I walked into the showroom of the local Microcenter with a $650.00 credit for my recently declared dead Powerspec 4325, My attention was pulled to the EMonster500a. I had heard some negative opinions about EMachines but this had what I wanted for the...

Pros: -Great Computer for playing games, and DVD's -Pretty Cheap -Comes with a great upgrading offer
Cons: - Tendency to freeze - Annoying Bar on the bottom (although removable) -Restoring Difficult

I bought the E-monster this summer. I find it to be a great computer. First, my games always operated smoothly and fast and it was easy to put controllers and joysticks into it. I find that it has a very fast modem, but sometimes doesn't work. There...

Pros: Great power for a little price
Cons: My 3dfx does not work, but who cares?

I am absolutely thrilled with my new eMonster500!! I have never used a computer that is so easy to load. It is powerful, yet simple. I received a tremendous price of only $495 for my eMonster500 at Office Depot. I am definitely not a computer techie,...

Pros: More power for your money
Cons: No software

I purchased the eMonster 500 after several weeks of research on the
internet and at 8 or 9 stores (including smaller computer specialists) within a 50 mile radius of my home town. Using a spreadsheet, I compared prices and computing power, and the...
