    CNET Review

    July 2, 2007

    The Good: Overachieving performance for a $500 PC; $50 mail-in rebate; attractive-enough looks.

    The Bad: Competing systems have more robust features.

    The Bottom Line: We like this new eMachines T5230 quite a bit for its fast processor. Our main reservation is that other vendors have become more aggressive in adding features to their low-end PCs, and eMachines has opted for power over a well-rounded PC. Still, if all you need is a basic, able desktop, this is a great deal.
