Everyone has their opinion but I hated the e-machine I bought for the MIL. It was a cheap one from CC, and I got what I paid for.

@ $300, it would be a nice homework/internet machine for some kids or grandparents.

I've had a E-Machine T4160 for couple of years now, and could not be more pleased, works better than my IBM ever thought of working. True when E-Machines first came out they were built too cheap and were a waste of your money, but for last few years, they can now be compared to the big guys.

I don't think anyone could go wrong with an E-Machine, so I'd jump on it quick, with all the rebates and the free package too, you are gonna love this machine and deal.

It was about 5 years ago. I had a Dell that I was using at the time so maybe I was just spoiled by it.

E-Machines has improved but it still doesn't compare to the Dell Dimension series.

e-Machines are really good computers. Rated #1 in customer service. They are made in a standard ATX tower so if you ever want to upgrade, its really easy. Just swap the motherboard and ram out. You can't do that with Dell, or any other main brand machine. Dell, IBM, Gateway, and HP case them in proprietary towers/motherboard so you have to buy a whole new machine. I would buy an e-Machine if I was in the market for a new desktop computer.

I know this is a dead deal, but in regards to eMachines quality: At least with eMachines you get a full year warranty included in the price, and this is on any eMachines model. You have to pay extra for a years warranty if you buy an entry-level Dimension; some (much more expensive) Dimension models come with a year warranty, but most don't. PLUS these eMachines are readily available everywhere.

This is a pretty good deal, but I'm hoping for a better deal on Black Friday.

Check the Best Buy circular I believe they have one for $150

I have one and (please don't let this comment jinx me) love the thing!

[alimfp]

I'll just say that DH and I still see a fair share of new and old e-Machines coming in for us to repair. Many are failed hard drives (and recovery is not an option on most).

 

It's worth it in the long run to spend a bit more on something that has had a longer running positive streak.

Jamieva, I've been all over the BB circular and I can't find any of the computers for that. Where/which is it?
