Interesting Computer Info & Offers. Daily Updates!!

this is for the eMachines ET1831-07–not the 05, this is a pentium dual core processor.

windows 7 after a short while will prove wonderfully easy to navigate. the thing is, windows 7 is huge. the first thing you do once you get the computer up-and-runnin is create your recovery discs. it will take four dvds: three for the recovery and one for the drivers. then go about deleting the programs you dont need. i always get rid of trial software and i delete norton in favor of kaspersky (unless you can afford a nod program, or mcafee).

this comp is very easy to set up and use and the processor is insanely quick. this isnt a gaming computer, but it is fast and has a lot of drive data, plus the usbs are 2.0. plus, though it reads on the box that the hard drive is a 750g, it is really a terabyte hard drive (odd but very cool), and the processor is not only an intel pentium but is also a dual core. this comp is insane for the price. i picked one up for my mother in law and went to setting it up. liked it so much that i went out and got one for our house.

found it at best buy for $350. that is a steal. im so much happier with it over my old emachines, w3650. this is a much better product, a luck find. get it while you can.

I’ve always been a fan of the underdogs, i had two Acer Desktops from 1998 to around 2009, only TWO. They both stood the test of just over ten years and i would buy them again, but being that they now own Emachines(who used to be pretty junkie) this is what i went for. I think the reason you see less and less actual ACER brand desktops out is because they have there hands full right now. Buying out Gateway and Emachines and also being the inventor of the Netbook they have certainly a full plate no doubt. So even if they concentrate on netbooks/laptops with the Acer logo it doesnt matter because they have created a superb machine in cunjunction with Emachines. I had an Acer i got last year but sold it to my parents because they wanted one, and only had laptops, and i decided to give this one a shot. Well i’m more than pleased, the 4gb of DDR2 RAM feels absolutely no different than the DDR3 i’ve played around with in other machines. Yes it does have what some would call a dated Dual-Core processor, but let me give you this. My father has an hp and has had nothing but problems, first the key fell off after a month, then the power supply shorted out, and now the screen is slowly fading, and he just got it 1 yes 1 YEAR ago. I just got this and before this got one of the 298$ Emachine laptops at wal-mart with a very similar processor of less speed, lets just say these computers put that laptop to shame. So don’t be fooled by the big boys, i have always loved Acers and now that they are buying out these companies i love them just as much. Both this and my laptop run flawlessly, no freezes, no drops on my wireless, super speedy, even great for converting video files quickly and with no slow downs. I’ve had HP, Asus, and Compaq and none of them can even compare, i say this because of all the freezing and hardware issues i have had with all the formentioned machines. The only other brands i recommend is Sony(in most cases), and Toshiba(very reliable as well), so don’t spend hundreds or even thousands(which most don’t) on a desktop when you can pick this up and a good monitor for UNDER 600 bucks, i did. I use to be into computer gaming but i have a PS3 and Xbox 360 and have no need for games, although i still may get a bigger power supply for around 80 bucks and put in my ATI 4850 card, mainly for sccreen clarity. That is mainly the only drawback and not even a big one. The integrated graphics stink as most do but really does anyone care? Well no, but i did get a screen with DVI input and its high resolution so i would like to get rid of the regular VGA fuzzy picture to make this an even more awesome machine. May as well, it won’t cost me much, so this is just a killer deal, god praise Acer for making this company shine, both price wise and reliability, if they hadn’t then Emachine probably would have eventually just dropped out all together. (wink).

Also one last note, if your looking to upgrade do it gradually, this machine has a simple motherboard and simple cooling system and is NOT designed for a high end graphics card. Even though you can put a new power supply and large card in it, it will shorten the life of the computer drastically and is very hard on the components. This is an everyday plain computing system, if you want to make a gaming system upgrade to a higher end machine, preferably Asus.
