Skank Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 look at the specs and that explains the price man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 never heard of eMachines but its actually just a range of netbooks by Acer (who i have heard of). its down the line with Acer some say they suck az, others say they are good value (still not the best machine just good value machines).check cnet and toms hardware to see if anyones reviewed the machine.

Jaz Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 these little laptops do just about as much as a smart phone, just with a keyboard n bigger screen, i would get 1 if i was doing major travel for a job or something, but otherwise nahmy room mate has a litte 12" HP, It does what she wants fine, and HP will kill acer anyday but its still no powerhouse and is semi slowalthough Alienware (made by dell but dont come close the shitness of dells) do a range of these mini lappy's and they will out run most people's full size toshiba's and macbooksbut your looking at like $1500-$2000 minimum for the smallest 1 (bit cheaper direct from them) VVVVVVVhttp://www1.ap.dell.com/content/topics/ ... l=en&s=dhsThat little M11 is crazzzzy powerfull for its size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloydc Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I bought an eee pc (asus) ages ago.It's the linux version with a solid state HDD.I rate it for a good portable little computer that is capable of web browsing and emailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabDJ Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Got a Asus laptop 8 year old no CD player working, no wireless, fading screen, shorts out every so often, no virus protection, use it as my sacrificial puter, but it just wont die.
