Reviews of the eMachines EL1300G-01w

    CNET Review

    June 11, 2009

    The Good: Pleasing, compact design; rock-bottom price; DVD burner and media card reader.

    The Bad: Dog-slow performance; easily outclassed if you spend just $50 more.

    The Bottom Line: We cringe at the idea of recommending such a slow PC when you can get significantly better performance for just a few more dollars. That said, it's hard to argue with the eMachines EL1300G-01w's low price, clean good looks, and relatively complete budget feature set. As long as you have no ambitions for this PC performing anything resembling serious work, it will make a fine second or third home system.
