I am looking to buy a computer. And have seen this brand, and trying to decide if its a good brand or what? Does anyone own or know anything about them?

An E-Machine is a basic computer, that lets you do the usual stuff that people are interested in, word processing, browsing, emailing, IMing, DVD making and watching. Won't do your heavy gaming.
Theoretically, they should be fine. Some people have had problems with them, friend of mine did, but the store fixed it on warranty - but other people have had no problems. Cost effective basic computer.

They're an alright brand. Everything on them is builtin, and people have had mixed success. If this machine is going to last you a while or you care about reliability, search for another brand with a better track record.

provided that those video games set up spyware or the different courses that immediately load with residing house windows and run interior the history sucking up components. otherwise, they are no diverse than the different applications. some apps may additionally basically be poorly programmed and would shrink to rubble your device documents, yet which could be brought about by any form of app, no longer in basic terms video games. do exactly a Disk Cleanup and Defrag as quickly as a month or so, and determine to test for malware often. and don't overlook to set a device restoration factor now and then. i could additionally advise googling and downloading a software referred to as "Startup CPL" which facilitates you to work out precisely what courses are beginning with residing house windows and you may disable something it truly is pointless.

A friend bought one from Circuity City about a year ago, and he's happy. I thought it was a little slow.
If I was buying right now and spending my hard earned money, I'd go for a Dell over the E-Machine.

I like mine a lot especially for the price. No problems for 4-years except the monitor power button. We just use the powerstrip. Good programs loaded. Normal household use with teens- 8 hours a day.

Made by Gateway. I bought one from TigerDirect.com. Got what I feel was a great deal. It works well, with no problems 8 mos later.
Very Quiet too. My last tower sounded like a lawnmower.

I've had a bunch of computers, from HPs to Dells, to Emachines to Compaq. My HP was a horrible experience but my emachines was a nice computer for any everyday use, like homework but no gaming purpose... but I prefer a Dell.

Best Buy had a deal on them about five years ago. I bought three and all were crap. Maybe they're better now. All three that I bought were useless and tech support might as well not existed. Hopefully they have improved.
