EMachines T5230

Overachieving performance for a $500 PC; $50 mail-in rebate; attractive-enough looks.

Competing systems have more robust features.

We like this new eMachines T5230 quite a bit for its fast processor. Our main reservation is that other vendors have become more aggressive in adding features to their low-end PCs, and eMachines has opted for power over a well-rounded PC. Still, if all...

Came with everything that it said it would ; pop in two gigs of ram and this thing flies ; just put in an 8600 gt and it great for gaming

missing 3 screws when i received it

A basic computer at an OK price. Everything but the monitor (which I have already). Has Dual Core Atlon 4400

I bought this for my Dad to do email and check the internet. Way more PC then he needed but WOW for the price, what a PC. As the others stated I reloaded the OS with the provided disk. It is up and running now within 1 minute of pushing the on button....

Not much of a waranty. It would be nice to have someone stand behind their product but for this price.... I guess you can't have it all

None, at all

OS was partially installed,froze on first boot. eMachines, came with wrong drivers for just about everything. Tech support had me on the phone literally all day because someone would tell me that they do not honor the warranty,or it is Neweggs problem....

Price

You get what you pay for.I should have spent more and gotten something that wouldn't have broken down within 2 weeks of purchase
