Reviews of the eMachines W3653 with Monitor
-
CNET Review
The Good: Inexpensive; large-capacity hard drive.
The Bad: Windows Vista Basic would be a better operating system for the hardware; bundled monitor hurts overall value.
The Bottom Line: The eMachines W3653 is a budget desktop computer that also includes an LCD. Because of the bundled display, this system ends up with an inflated price tag. We'd highly recommend you shop for a standalone low-end system instead.
