Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have to say that I like this little laptop.I got mine for $369 at Office Depot.At a "netbook" price I have a real laptop.That means I have a 14" screen (not 7-10"), a full size keyboard (not a tiny one) and a CD/DVD burner (not available on netbooks).In addition, it came with Vista Basic which is less of a resource hog than Vista Premium and a number of useful programs like Microsoft Works, NTI burning and backup software and Google Desktop.My computer came with 2 GB RAM.
I find the performance to be more than adequate for routine tasks and much speedier than netbooks that I have used.With a real sized keyboard I feel that this computer could handle real tasks like typing a 10-20 page paper.There is more than enough power to do those things that the typical user would want, like some simple photo editing.
Obviously this is a bargain laptop so you can't expect the same features that you would get in a $1000 computer.You won't find a webcam or even a SD card reader but you can certainly add those via USB if needed.Speaking of USB, you only get 2 ports as opposed to the usual 3 and don't expect anything fancy like an HDMI or external SATA port.
Will this computer:
Run MS Office?Yes
Run a simple photo editor?Yes
Run Adobe Photoshop?Probably not too well
Run Print Shop?Yes
Run Adobe Illustrator?Probably not too well
Edit a short You Tube video using MS Moviemaker?Yes
Edit a long HD movie using Adobe Premier?Probably not
Play simple 2D games?Yes
Play complex, high action 3D games?Probably not
Use a web cam for Skype?Yes, but you will need to supply your own USB camera
Read flash cards?Yes, but you will have to buy a cheap USB card reader
All in all I think the folks at eMachine thought long and hard to create a useable machine at the lowest price point.In my opinion they succeeded.If you want a super powered gamer in a fashion color look elsewhere.If you need a basic machine that is bigger but also more user friendly than a netbook check out the eMachine.
