eMachines etower 400i PC Desktop

Pros: Decent computer at a low price!
Cons: None on this machine!

Although there has been a considerable amount of bad press about E-machines, in all fairness to the company and the computer, for the money this has proved to be a decent
computer at a very reasonable price. No, it is not a fantastic piece of...

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use
Cons: Breaks down, cheap modem, terrible speakers

I bought this computer a while ago simply because my old one was out of date (90 MHz…can you imagine that?). I wasn’t looking for anything very fancy, just something that I could write my reports with and do a little Internet browsing. I decided on the...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Everything else

I bought this because I was tired of spending big bucks for a top of the line machine only to have it be worthless in 2 years.

The 400i had the basics: 400 mh Celeron processor, 64 MB Ram, 4 GB hard drive. Nothing fancy but it served my...

Pros: Low Cost, Easy to Use
Cons: Tendency to "break"

Keep in mind that I'm speaking totally as a sales person and from the views of what I noticed while working at Best Buy ... This computer can go both ways as for being good or bad ... I'm not really sure if it's more good than bad, but I'll be objective...

Pros: They are VERY inexpensive, and, on the surface, quality machines....
Cons: Do your research about the company and their products before buying!

Well, well, well... should I have been surprised to land here at Epinions and find yet more negative ratings of Emachines PC's? NOPE! I am afraid that, alas, all you will discover about Emachines will be negative.
In February of 1999, my dear and...

Pros: solidly built little machine, good return policy, cheap to buy now
Cons: no speed demon (Celeron), small hard drive

I purchased this PC a little over a year ago and recently replaced it with a Compaq Presario 7478 533 mhz (see that review at http://www.epinions.com/cmd-review-1798-8C08137-39DD4F3C-prod1), and now...

Pros: Inexpensive, at least at first
Cons: Widespread failures and poor resolution

I just got off the phone with the e-Machine "rebate" center in Coppell, TX. It seems the $75 rebate, which I applied for on 12/31/99, has been "lost". It's now 6/12/00, and I'm told it will be another 21 days or so. . .

Pros: Inexpensive, runs great
Cons: Tech support is horrible, not much expansion capabilities

A year ago I was running my 486 66 MHz which I had overclocked to about 99 MHz (really smokin!), and I decided it was time to upgrade. Since I had little to no money, I figured I would have to wait. Then I saw the EMachines with the $400 rebate from...

Pros: Ease to set up , good price range
Cons: No monitor , and memory could hold a little more.....

My older brother just left for college as well as my sister and instead of asking my parents for the big bucks for a computer , he estimated and price ranged his own and decided on an E-Machine...

Pros: terrible service
Cons: good machine, but no service

I purchased an E Machine 400is as my 1st computer and had a terrible experience. First the CDROM died on it within the first two weeks. After about $180 in long distance phone calls and (staples) the store I purchased it from mailing it back to...

Pros: Price
Cons: Inexpensive modem installed at factory-Poor Speakers

I recently purchased an emachines etower with a 466mhz Celeron processor. It is a good machine for the price. I bought it with 6.4gb hard drive, 64mb ram, 40X cd rom, and a 56k modem. It came in a package with an e-view 17" monitor, Lexmark Z11...

Pros: practical
Cons: ??? none so far

First off i must say,this computer is the most bang for the buck. I chose the e-machine 400i because i new i only wanted to surf the net. It was very inexspencive & had the minnimum requirements of a computer. I bought it at best buy & after the...

Pros: Affordable, great for family use, simple recovery.
Cons: Plenty of speed, but not enough RAM to use the speed. Recovery not as simple for add on programs.

I purchased my first E-Machine based on the success of the machines at work. I quickly found that for high powered operation they were inefficient. The hard drive was big enough, but with only 32 MB of RAM and two PCI and two ISA slots, I knew I...

Pros: Cheap, fast, no assembly required
Cons: Not much RAM, virtually no expansion slots

Yes, it's true! You can get a screaming machine for five or six hundred dollars. I was all set to build a computer for my wife with some pretty amazing deals on barebones systems at Fry's, when I saw an E-machine with a Celeron 400 processor, 4.5-gig...

Pros: Low cost, good for student or second machine
Cons: Low quality, not good for games, cad etc.

The Emachines Etower is a budget system designed for internet browsing
and Word processing. If you need to run ram-intensive programs such as; large games, spread sheets, graphically intense presentations, video editing, etc...., this system is not...
