eMachines etower 400i PC Desktop

Pros: easy to use
Cons: slow

We got our e-machine last year as a house warming gift. It was my first computer, and first experience using the internet. The first one had a bad disk drive, and my sister returned it to Cosco and got another. It is a bit noisy, but works well. I...

Pros: cheap and sturdy
Cons: won't stay turned off

We bought an eMachines etower 400ix about a year ago to use as a second computer at home (our first computer is an expensive, professional one with a 24 gig hard drive), and it has served our needs nicely. Although I wouldn't recommend an eMachines...

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 with decent features
Cons: Overheats easily and modem is not high quality.

I bought this computer because it was inexpensive yet had quite a few features that I wanted. I wont say do not buy this computer, but I will tell you that it probably isn't going to be something you should expect to keep long term. I have had this...

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: Price, Processor speed
Cons: RAM, no moniter included in price

The Emachines Etower 400i is a decent computer. Starting with the processor. A Celeron 400 is a nice processor for your everyday needs. It will do just about anything the normal user does, pretty well. 32 MB of Ram is a little low but what do you...

Pros: it gets exchanged when it breaks at circuit city
Cons: it stops working for no apparent reason!

if you cant afford anything more than an emachine, then seriously consider saving more money and getting a better quality machine. The emachines are good computers while they are working. Unfortunately, this period seems to range from fifteen days to...

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: 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...

Plug-&-Play...?

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: price, looks
Cons: speed,performance,support

My computer is a piece of crud. it brakes when it wants and doesn't wanna come back on. one time i was playing online with my buddies and all of a sudden it shuts off. i lost a lot of my information. the price may look appealing but surely it isnt what...

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: 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: operates reasonably well
Cons: tech-support is akin to a cannon against a fly

We purchased this computer as a first time thing....We received a fairly reasonable deal at the time ... After 10 months of operating well the power-supply fan began making a hideous racket....Calling e-machines support we were told the PS was...

Pros: seems to work
Cons: won't shut off

I bought a 400 ix because of the price , should have saved more
money . my tower has a "ghost power" according to the company . It
turns itself on when it wants to. After trying to e-mail the company for help ,...
