Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Cheap, Not compatible with some NICs, and it weighs quite a bit
Summary: The eMachines eSlate 450k is a waste of money. I was working in Gretna, Louisiana as a system administrator and my ex-boss (the owner of the company) thought he was saving a lot of money when he bought this laptop. He is pretty knowledgeable when it ... read more

Pros: Reliable and alot of power for the money if bought used.
Cons: Hardrive options limited to 4.3gigs - a little small for dual booting
Summary: The eslate 400 and 450 are great bargains on the used laptop market. I have one of each and have had good luck running a dual boot Win98 and Redhat Linux 7.0 on my 400 machine. I wish the hard drive was a little bigger but it does the job. I recently ... read more

Pros: Inexpensive, mostly Windows2000 compatible, inexpensive, full feature set.
Cons: Lack of polish.
Summary: I looked at used laptops extensively. I wanted a very simple machine that I could take on the road with me, that would run all modern software and be expandable to at least 128 MB of RAM. I found the odd Toshiba at $750 USD but they always came with ... read more

Pros: Excellent weight and layout
Cons: Screen is a bit dark
Summary: I have always been a fan of eMachines for a few reasons. Above all, they use high-quality parts and don't charge nearly as much as other name brand computer manufacturers. The 450k is the same way. It is an excellent little laptop for an inexpensive ... read more

Pros: PRICE,, PRICE, PRICE!!!
Cons: Underpowered, but hey remember the PRICE!!!
Summary: With a going price of less than 949.99 what can you expect??? You can expect a notebook computer with not many add-ons for the user on a budget (read student). The eMachines eSlate 450k is what most people think it is, that being a cheap notebook with ... read more

Pros: Price, speed, battery
Cons: Built-in modem
Summary: The eSlate 450k is a great value for the $829 paid (Egghead). The HPA display is sufficiently bright for most work and the High Performance Array seems to prevent the lag associated with other Dual-Scan displays. The display does require an adjustment ... read more

Pros: Price; appearance
Cons: Bad tech support; if it breaks you're dead
Summary: I purchased this machine for my daughter to take to college. It arrived with a nonworking CD rom drive. We tried what we could to get the machine to read it but were unsuccessful. We called the "free" technical support line [a toll call to ... read more

Pros: Great price, light weight
Cons: No Word
Summary: I recently chose the Eslate laptop because of its great price. Although I wasn't expecting much, I was pleasantly surprised. When I first began using it though, I was inundated with blue screens of death. Once I uninstalled the e-software that was ... read more

Pros: CHEAP. Reasonably fast, pretty well built.
Cons: CHEAP. You DO get what you pay for.
Summary: Having owned the Eslate 450k for about a month now, I can simply say that it is Good Enough. You aren't going to find a cheaper laptop, and the processor seems quick enough. The ram absolutely needs to be upgraded. I added a 128mb chip from Crucial ... read more

Cons: touchpad takes getting used to if you don't want to buy a mouse

Pros: Lots of options for a low price.
Cons: Screen, touchpad, and limited RAM could use some work..
Summary: ...then this machine is for you. Otherwise, keep looking.
After you uninstall the bloat and unnecessary applications that eMachines preloads, upgrade the RAM to 96 MB (an additional $75 from Egghead.com), and patch Win 98 SE you should not ... read more
