"With me upgrading to 2 gigs of ram - ok - bad sound tho"
Pros: Ok - fast over all. Looks great - card reader is super if u do pics.
speakers are great for cheap
over all performance is quick - upgrades are not too expensive
Vista runs all my other stuff - external hdd -does tell me it will but it does.Cons: They got their last dollar from me. This Emachines has no internal record and said the sound was by Sigma Tell it is by IDT and - - restrictions are built in on the mo bo to keep me from recording and then playing music in an only share chat.
Summary: When I complained about not having the ability to record from the web - Emachines could care less. They lied to me on several occasions. I hope someone sues them.
TIGER DIRECT helped me out - Big time - they send two sound cards free - upper end cards. Tiger Direct should sue Emachine's for lying.
While I could have sent the machine back - I had sold the old ram when I put in the new and my friend would have been crushed so I let it go.
Emachine's are well known for their nasty way on the phone. They said they would give me a fix if I signed up for their extra warranty. This is illegal here but I figure they will get their's down the road.
As for working other than the sound problems and the months it took me to get the work around it is ok.
I have to balance the price for what I got and that way it is ok - but nothing will make me but from them again as my guarantee is still good but they just spew how it isn't. Thing is - I get the last laugh as I can spend my money with TIGER DIRECT and avoid Emachine's and their junk and their other partner - gateway and spend my money where I want.
If you want a machine and do need all your sound capability's and you don't mind being talked down to -- then go for one of these.
Just remember where it came from - some very rude people.
