E Machines By April on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
When my computer crashed about a month ago, I knew I needed to replace it. It was nearing five years old, which, in computer time, is ancient. I went to several different stores, but finally decided I was getting my money's worth at Wal-Mart on their eMachine. For just under $500, I was getting a 19" Wide LCD Monitor, a keyboard, a mouse and a pretty decent computer. I now have a 3.0GHz Pentium Processor, 1 GB Ram, 160 GB Hard drive, a DVD burner and more! The one thing I do not care for on it, but I had no choice, was upgrading from Windows XP to Windows Vista, but that is a different issue. I now have the luxury of viewing DVDs and videos online without having interruptions my old computer gave me. I can also burn DVDs, not just CDs, which is all my old computer could do. Gateway produces eMachines, so I know there is a good company behind it, also. I am so thanksful my computer finally crashed, thanks to my eMachines computer!

eMachines is produced by Acer in Australia, while Gateway is a subsidiary of Acer. But as the second-largest PC-producer in the world, Acer is still a very reliable brand, as would be eMachines :)
