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 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...; Tags: DVD, Consumer electronics, eMachines Inc., eMachines T5274; Product reviews 2008-07-21

Gateway GT5674: The Gateway GT5674 is the second mainstream desktop we've reviewed with a quad-core processor, following the Acer Aspire M5100 we tested in March. We've seen our share of high-end, high-priced gaming boxes with quad-core CPUs recently, but this technology has quickly trickled down to much more affordable desktops for mainstream...; Tags: Processors, PCI, Microsoft Windows Vista (Longhorn), DVD, Gateway GT5674, Gateway Inc., NVidia Corp.; Product reviews 2008-06-13

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,...; Tags: Microsoft Windows Vista (Longhorn), Linux, DVD, Consumer electronics, eMachines Inc., eMachines T3646, Hewlett-Packard Co.; Product reviews 2008-05-15

Shuttle KPC K-4500: Much like the Asus Eee PC before it, the Linux-based Shuttle KPC K-4500 will impress the tech savvy--especially the Linux comfortable. You can strip it down, expand it, or simply use it as basic day-to-day desktop. You can even put a photo in the removable front panel.

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
Dell Inspiron 530: Since Dell has stopped selling its AMD-based Inspirons, that leaves the Intel-powered Inspiron 530 and 530s leading its budget desktop charge. The Inspiron 530 is a modest $539 configuration that offers some surprising features for the price. Hewlett-Packard competes very well in this price range too, but Dell's one...; Tags: Notebooks, Bluetooth Module, Dell Inspiron, Inspiron 530, Dell Computer Corp.; Product reviews 2008-04-18

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.

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.
