Gasp! A Bare-Bones eMachine!
Filed in archive Desktops by Shane McGlaun on May 26, 2006
Does eMachines make anything that isn't bare-bones? I can't say that I know any geeks that number one would admit to owning an eMachine or number 2 brag about it. None the less, PCWorld has a review they title as "eMachine Bare-Bones Media Center". The T6532 sells for $900 and while it is called a media center, it is a bit of an oxymoron. Can a PC be a media center if it has no TV tuner, no digital audio or video ports
and no remote! The lack of a remote on anything related to media is appalling.
I don't think you can throw XP Media Center Edition 2005 on a system and call it a media center personally. It also has no game, literally. Integrated graphics?! That is so 2004. The only good things going for the eMachine is the 200GB HDD and 1GB of memory and low price. An AMD 2.2GHz is the brains behind the "media center". That said you could build a much better media system yourself for the same money.
