"Cheap and bad quality desktop." on September 20, 2009 by sarahsreview

Pros: It was available through my local Costco warehouse. The price was right for my younger brother who wanted to have an affordable computer that can be used as a simple internet access machine.

Cons: The fan dies after 2 months, and for some reason, the LED light on the front area failed shortly after. My brother complained that this computer is way too slow.
He hates it now because his friends think this computer looks like a coffee machine.

Summary: Saving money during economy downturn is important, so that's why I bought this computer for my younger brother's birthday. However, I realized cheap isn't always good after I noticed how bad this product failed to deliver simple tasks such as watching youtube or get into internet through wifi.
I was able to return to Costco, and they changed it without any questions.
A guy who works at Costco said they were getting too many returns of this desktop.

"I am very happy with my emachine" on July 28, 2010 by craig_hiter

Pros: I have no problems with this machine, it handles windows 7 very well, performs graphic manipulations and animation creations without even a grunt or hiccup. It has never locked up, no matter how many apps I have open at one time..

Cons: None, I am happy with it, price is right.

Summary: Low cost machine that performs well. Handles windows 7 very well, as well as my other apps. No problem with graphics programs, none better for the price as far as I am concerned.
