Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have several computers. I got tired of lugging my 15 inch laptop all over the city. I looked at several net-books with a budget of about 300 dollars in mind.
After looking at about 6 or 7 net-books, most of them with Windows 7 and an
Atom N470 processor, I found this little gem. When I played with the Window 7
machines I noticed that the graphical response was sluggish. I assumed that the Atom processor working with 1 gig of memory and the embedded video processor were working hard under Windows 7. The eMachine net-book with Windows XP Home SP/3 seemed a lot more responsive and peppy and since the price was about 30 to 50 dollars cheaper than the other machines I bought the eMachine with XP. I have not been disappointed! I love this machine. It weights less than half my 15 inch laptop I bought in 2009. After cleaning off all the crapware and setting it up to work like my other laptop it spins like a top. I then connected up my external USB DVD burner to it and had no problem making backup driver and system restore disks.
I have this net-book in my backpack all the time. Time will tell if this thing
is built well enough to last 3-5 years. The thing is actually a re-branded Acer.
You should be able get a 6 cell battery for it to extend the discharge time to 6 hours or so. The eMachine website has the drivers for it and some documentation, but there is only basic online support for this model.
I highly recommend this model for it's speed and price. So far I have been running all kinds of popular apps and it hasn't crashed or locked up (yet).
My only gripe is that I wish there was a physical volume control(wheel)
to control headphone/line-out volume.
