    CNET Review

    February 28, 2005

    The Good: Pentium 4 chip replaces Celeron D parts of yesteryear; Serial ATA hard drive; strong budget performer; double-layer DVD burner; media-card reader.

    The Bad: Cannot be customized at time of purchase; lack of AGP or PCI Express slot precludes graphics upgrades; limited warranty upgrades; phone support requires toll and is not 24/7.

    The Bottom Line: 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.

    Review Summary: Though it lacks bells and whistles, the eMachines T5026 is a good computer for the user who wants a desktop that will last a while or the tinkerer who wants another unit to play with. It's a solid system that works right out of the box.
