eMachines’ $300 EL1200 desktop: “the size of a dictionary”

Filed under:

Really, eMachines? You’re honestly going to give your newest cheap-o PC that kind of tagline? Truth be told, we’re not precisely certain what a standard sized dictionary even looks like (there’s that thing called the World Wide Web…), but apparently, it’s precisely the same size as the EL1200 desktop. Not sassy sufficient to be called a nettop, that here mini-tower is 40% smaller and 55% lighter than the company’s second tiniest rig, and while it won’t handle the likes of Crysis, it shouldn’t have too many issues surfing the web and opening Word documents. As for specs, we’ve got a 1.5GHz AMD Athlon 2650e 64-bit CPU, NVIDIA’s GeForce 6150SE integrated graphics, 1GB of DDR2, 160GB hard drive, a dual-layer DVD burner, 14-in-1 multicard reader, seven USB 2.0 ports and a $298 (MSRP) price tag. That system we just rattled off is available now at Wally World, while a slightly more stacked edition can be had at Best Buy for $349.
