eMachines T5274 Review - ZDNet
ZDNet have published a review of the affordable eMachines T5274 desktop PC. 'The eMachines T5274 is eMachines' higher-end budget desktop for the back to school season. While it seems like a good deal for $400, the fact is that the low-end PC market has become increasingly competitive this year, which makes it hard for systems such as this one that straddle two different price points. If all you want is basic functionality for a rock bottom price, you can find PCs for $200 to $300 that will do the job (including eMachines own W6350 and T3656 models).
If you're looking for a minor performance uptick, you can spend $50 to $100 more for more RAM and a larger hard drive. Worse, systems from Compaq and Acer (eMachines' parent) offer nearly identical specifications for less money. It's become more difficult than ever to nail the sweet spot for low-end desktops, and unfortunately, eMachines missed it with the T5274.'
