>> Justin Yu: If all you do with your computer is simple word processing, internet surfing, or watching TV of streaming websites this might be the perfect budget system for you. I'm Justin Yu and this is a first look at the eMachines ET181003 desktop computer. Now right off the bat you're gonna notice that it's not exactly the most attractive computer you can buy. It's not a slim tower or a home theater PC by any means but rather a full size desktop with dramatic system improvements since the previous model. Now in terms of components, this setup makes a pretty compelling argument for its price. You get a 2.2 gigahertz Intel dual core processor, 3 gigs of ram, and integrated Invidia graphics card, a 320 gigabyte hard drive and a DVD burner. Now if you're locked into the strict sub $400 market this eMachine is definitely a great deal but you can get a lot more for you dollar with a Gateway that costs about $200 more and then you can read about it more in our full review but we lined up the eMachines with several other systems of similar price and hardware and it actually out performed a $480 Dell in our iTunes and coding benchmark. Now don't get me wrong it's definitely not a heavy multimedia editor and you're likely to see lag in graphics heavy programs like Adobe Photoshop but this computer can definitely handle general purpose processes without hiccups. So I'm Justin Yu and you just took a first look at the eMachines ET181003 budget desktop computer. Thanks for watching. ^M00:01:24 [ Music ]

The eMachines ET1831-07 isn't much of a video playback device, but in all other respects, this is a solid budget PC. Perhaps the best deal going for its features, it also outperforms other desktops in and above its price range on general computing tasks. We recommend this system to anyone shopping for a low-cost computer.
The eMachines T5254 costs less than similar systems from Dell and HP, and it outperforms them (in some cases), and uses less power while doing so. You can't configure it before making a purchase, but eMachines has chosen this system's specs wisely, and with a level of environmental consciousness that make it a very enticing deal.
At first glance, the eMachines ET1161-07 seems like a decent setup, but a laundry list of subpar components running on 32-bit Windows Vista just can't keep up with other similarly priced systems that give you much faster performance and higher-quality components for just $100 more.
Although the T2824 has an attractive design and a low price, we recommend spending a bit more to get a more powerful, well-rounded PC.
The eMachines ET1161-03 delivers fewer features than its competition at the same price. Stretch your dollar further, and you'll find a desktop PC with significantly better components for only $50 more.
The feature-rich, top-of-the-line eMachines T5026 is Intel based and delivers excellent performance, but it sacrifices the valuable graphics upgrade path of its AMD-based predecessor.
As long as you have no ambitions for this PC performing anything resembling serious work, the eMachines EL1300G-01w will make a fine second or third home system.
You'll be hard-pressed to find a more well-rounded desktop at this price level; the eMachines T3092 deserves a spot on any budget buyer's short list.
The versatile, expandable, reasonably powerful eMachines T6524 is a solid family computer and a perfect dorm-room companion that gets mainstream jobs done with aplomb.
The eMachines T5224 has a sleek new look, runs Windows Vista and delivers respectable budget performance with most of the features you'd want, but we think you can find a better PC for the money if you shop around.
