eMachines T5254: The eMachines T5254 is a little less powerful than its last system in this price range, but it's also a bit less expensive. For $400, we're willing to accept a slightly slower CPU and a slightly smaller hard drive, especially when the alternatives from Dell and HP can't come close...; Tags: DVD, Consumer electronics, Processors, Desktops, eMachines Inc., eMachines T5254; Product reviews 2008-04-21
HP Pavilion a6400z: The HP Pavilion a6400z desktop is a versatile machine aimed at meeting your basic home, school, or work computing needs. Our review configuration of the a6400z came in at $340, but with a few key upgrades on HP's Web site you can turn this into a much better system for...; Tags: Desktops, DVD, Microsoft Windows Vista (Longhorn), Consumer electronics, a6400z, eMachines Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., HP Pavilion; Product reviews 2008-04-10
Acer Aspire M5100: And the trickle-down continues. At the end of last year, we saw quad-core desktops coming in under $1,000. Fast-forward three months and quad-core has become even less expensive. The $700 Acer Aspire M5100 is an excellent representative of this new breed of affordable quad-core desktops. The question is, considering that...; Tags: Processors, DVD, Consumer electronics, Video cards, Acer Inc., Aspire M5100, quad-core, eMachines Inc.; Product reviews 2008-03-25
eMachines T5246: The eMachines T5246 PC is the most expensive of the budget desktop brand's offerings this quarter. Of course, at $429, it's not exactly a luxury item. If you're thinking about a lower-end eMachines system and have a few extra dollars to spare, we'd certainly recommend this one over the $349...; Tags: DVD, Consumer electronics, Desktops, Processors, eMachines T5246, eMachines Inc.; Product reviews 2008-03-06
eMachines T3642: Of all the sub-$400 PCs on the market right now, the eMachines T3642 is the best in its price class. It offers the most processing power, the largest hard drive storage, and the most versatile collection of features compared with other on-the-shelf offerings currently available at Best Buy, Circuit City,...; Tags: Processors, Desktops, DVD, Consumer electronics, processor, eMachines T3642, eMachines Inc., AMD Athlon, desktop; Product reviews 2008-02-11

eMachines T3626: Of the super budget PCs currently available from mainstream retailers and Dell.com, the $399 eMachines T3626 is the second best deal available. We found a system from Acer that has more features for the money, but the eMachines edges that one out by offering a $50 rebate. If that deferred...; Tags: DVD, Consumer electronics, Processors, storage, eMachines Inc., eMachines T3626, eMachines T5234; Product reviews 2007-11-06
eMachines T5234: eMachines is merely treading water with its T-series line of fixed-configuration, budget PCs. The latest, the T5234, offers no improvement to last quarter's T5230 system. If anything, the T5234 represents a step back, using a slightly slower CPU than the model it replaces. The only upgrade to be found is...; Tags: DVD, Consumer electronics, Processors, Dell Computer Corp., eMachines T5234, eMachines Inc.; Product reviews 2007-11-01
eMachines T5062: We'll make this quick. If you're considering the eMachines T5062, don't. Do yourself a favor and spend an additional $50 on the eMachines T5230. That extra bit of money buys you a lot more budget PC. The two systems are identical in outward appearance, and inside they nearly match component...; Tags: Microsoft Windows Vista (Longhorn), DVD, Consumer electronics, Microsoft Windows, Processors, eMachines T5062, eMachines Inc., budget-PC, DVD burner; Product reviews 2007-07-13
eMachines T5230: The $500 eMachines T5230 sits on the top-end of eMachines' new systems for the third quarter of 2007. It's also the strongest of the company's new batch of nonconfigurable, retail-only PCs--which you might imagine given that it's the most expensive of the bunch. Our major gripes are that it doesn't...; Tags: Notebooks, DVD, Consumer electronics, Microsoft Windows Vista (Longhorn), Video cards, eMachines Inc., eMachines T5230; Product reviews 2007-07-02
eMachines T5226 - Pentium D 925 3GHz: The only significant difference between the eMachines T5224 we reviewed earlier in the year and the new T5226 is the CPU. The newer $550 T5226 has a 3.0GHz Intel Pentium D 925 dual-core processor, a slight uptick over the older Intel chip in the T5224. And while we like eMachines'...; Tags: Performance management, Processors, Semiconductors, Desktops, DVD, eMachines T5226, eMachines T5224, eMachines Inc., Intel Pentium; Product reviews 2007-04-30
eMachines T5224: The eMachines T5224 is the first true budget-class PC we've seen with Windows Vista on it. We mostly like what we've seen so far, but we can't help but wonder what would happen if Gateway/eMachines took better advantage of AMD's aggressive chip pricing. This $580 PC (before $50 rebate) comes...; Tags: chip, eMachines Inc., eMachines T5224, PC; Product reviews 2007-02-05
eMachines T5212: Our go-to pick for a true budget PC this summer has been the Cyberpower Back to School 2006. It delivers a dual-core CPU and 1GB of memory for $599; it'll burn DVDs; and Windows Vista, with its Aero effects, should give it little trouble, thanks to the discrete graphics card....; Tags: Processors, Consumer electronics, Video cards, DVD, eMachines Inc., eMachines T5212, Cyberpower; Product reviews 2006-10-03
eMachines T5048: Here's what we like about the $400 (after $50 mail-in rebate) eMachines T5048: it has a DVD burner and a media card reader, and its 160GB hard drive offers more storage room than we expected. Compare this model to HP's $400 Compaq Presario SR1910NX, and this latest member of the...; Tags: Desktops, DVD, Microsoft Windows XP, Consumer electronics, eMachines Inc., eMachines T5048, Compaq Presario; Product reviews 2006-09-26

HP Pavilion Media Center a1510n: Hewlett-Packard is making a concerted effort to corner the market in low-price PCs--a strategy that analysts say is helping the company gain market share at the expense of archrival Dell. While the very cheapest Pavilions, the a1400 series, start at a mind-boggling $250 after rebate, the $599 Pavilion a1510n...; Tags: Desktops, HP Pavilion, Hewlett-Packard Co., Media Center PC; Product reviews 2006-08-18
eMachines T6536: Editors' note: Due to a subrating calculation error, the rating for this system has been updated since the time of its original posting.We first thought the $539 (after $50 mail-in rebate) eMachines T6536, the top of the budget vendor's Q3 2006 lineup, would easily score an 8.0 rating.

eMachines T6532: As the NFL draft draws near, general managers measure and debate the agility of 300-pound linemen, the speed of wide receivers, and the arm strength and Wonderlic scores of quarterbacks.

eMachines T6420: No matter how you slice it, with low-end PCs, it's all about the bottom line. And no one has mastered the price/features value equation quite like eMachines.
