    CNET Review

    July 21, 2008

    The Good: A better deal than most budget PCs available from major online vendors.

    The Bad: In-store desktop deals offer more for the money.

    The Bottom Line: With stiff competition from other sub-$400 PCs, eMachines' T5247 has a hard time standing out. It will certainly serve as a basic productivity system, but other desktops will help you stretch your computer dollar even further.
