"purchased an emachine last Christmas. Within a week lost first harddrive. Got a new one, lost it, got a new one, lost it. Sent in computer 3 times for a new motherboard, harddrive, cdrw. Received back yesterday. Lost hard drive again. Won't replace even though it is still under warranty and has been in the shop much more than in my house and is 4 months old. Don't but emachines if you need a computer that retains it's memory. Poor customer service and trashy computer. I'm calling Better Business Bureau."

"I know that there are a lot of negative reviews, but my Emachine is great. I haven't had any problems, the price was right and I couldn't be happier. I purchased mine at Circuit City"

"I bought 7 T1400s for my office and set them up on wireless. They run AthlonXPs with Winxp and have proven to be very reliable and stable. I have been inside the cases and don't find any 2nd rate hardware. OIn fact I have WD hdds in all the machines. Very happy, No complaints. Had a problem on one with poor tech support, but after restoring Windows, everything hums. Nothing is forever, so the fool who doesn't back up is deserving of what he gets. Like any machine, It is good to have a tech do a tuneup on it from time to time to keep it running good. I do need to say that I bought these machines from a store (Frys), but don't look to them for service."

"I have bought many emachines over the last 3 years and this is how to make the experience fairly painless. First make sure you understand that you are getting alot for a relatively small amout of money compared to the rest of the computer box sellers out there. Cheap parts, few models, no custom configurations are how they survive. Another overhead item is tech support and service. You can bet that it's a bare minimum service. So with this in mind DO NOT buy through the website. If a model looks interesting use a compusa or best buy type store and GET THE STORES SERVICE PLAN. I normally would say that store service plans are a rip off but not in this case. It's just good risk management. Closely check the details of any plan before you commit. See if it covers a computer that you can use if they decide to send it out to emachines. You don't want that to happen, the machine will be gone for a long, long time. So sounds bad but this past Christmass I went to compusa and bought my mother an emachine that still works fine. The Christmass before I bought my sister an emachine that works fine (and it was a refurb).
Last week I bought my son an Walmart W1500 package and it's being burned in with no problems. I have bought many emachines through best buy for my business with some failures. The failures were power supplies and a modem.
Best buy replaced the computer s with a bad power supply and replaced the modem. Emachines are cheap, buy one but cover you rear with store insurance. "

"I've had limited experience with them because of their shoddy equipment. For a good chuckle, check out www.emachinessuck.com and you'll get some good fodder for conversation. It looks like they may have improved since the year 2000."
