- eMachines EZ1601-01
- Declaring the eMachines EZ1601-01 the best all-in-one Nettop we've seen is kind of like saying swine flu is our favorite vaccination-resistant virus. We haven't been shy about our distaste for this entire Nettop product category, and while eMachines has wrapped this system around an uncommonly large display for its $399...

- eMachines ET1810-03
- If you're shopping for a light-duty computer on a budget but still crave the performance benefits of a full-size desktop, the $370 eMachines ET1810-03 budget desktop might be the answer. It doesn't have the eMachines EL1300G-01w's slim-tower profile, but it makes a dramatic improvement in performance with a fast Intel...

- eMachines EL1300G-01w
- We're this close to really liking eMachines' most affordable desktop. The $298 EL1300G-01w has a sharp design, and sacrifices little in the way of core features. Our hang-up lies mostly in its pokey performance. We recognize that many of you are willing to sacrifice speed for a borderline throw-away PC...

- eMachines ET1161-07
- The new year brings with it a new chance for eMachines to score big with its ET1161-07 budget desktop computer. The system contains the usual fare of baseline components with adequate room for upgrades inside the bare-bones tower, and $380 seems a decent price for the package--until you shop around...

- eMachines EL1200-05w
- The eMachines EL1200-05w is a Wal-Mart exclusive desktop that scrapes together a series of low quality components in a cramped slim-tower chassis. Although it might look like a home theater PC at first glance, the interior reveals a barren landscape with very little room for expansion. This $298 desktop is...

- eMachines ET1161-03
- The eMachines ET1161-03 is a low-maintenance desktop PC for light users with a budget on the brain. The $400 price tag will net you get a dual-core AMD Athlon processor with integrated audio and video, 3GB of RAM, a single 320GB hard drive, and 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium. Unfortunately,...

- eMachines T5274
- The eMachines T5274 is eMachines' higher-end budget desktop for the back to school season. While it seems like a good deal for $400, the fact is that the low-end PC market has become increasingly competitive this year, which makes it hard for systems such as this one that straddle two...

- eMachines T3646
- At $299, eMachines T3646 is one of the most inexpensive complete desktops on the market. You naturally expect to sacrifice some features and performance at that price, but we wish eMachines had struck a more even balance between the two. If you can afford to spend $50 to $100 more,...

- 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...

- 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...

- 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...

- 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...

- 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,...

- 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...

- 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...

- 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...
