Inexpensive ; ample room for future upgrades

Slow CPU ; wimpy hard-drive capacity and memory combined with 32-bit Windows

At first glance, the eMachines ET1161-07 seems like a decent setup, but a laundry list of subpar components running on 32-bit Windows Vista just can't keep up with other similarly priced systems that give you much faster performance and higher-quality ...

The new year brings with it a new chance for eMachines to score big with its ET1161-07 budget desktop computer. For the price, we don't expect to have an HDMI-out or digital audio, although you can spend a little more and get those features...

ET1161-03

By David Murphy

We've seen some inexpensive PCs produce stellar performance, but at some point there simply isn't enough oomph available for such a meager investment. That particular deficiency plagues the eMachines ET1161-03, a $400 system that illustrates the need ...

Good amount of upgrade options Rock-bottom price

Sluggish performance No appeal for gamers

You're getting what you pay for with eMachines' ET1161-03. Its performance is nothing pretty--in fact, it's horrible compared with that of most other value PCs. But the low cost is the key, and with an upgrade or two, the ET1161-03 could become a ...

eMachines ET1161-03

By Joel Santo Domingo

The eMachines ET1161-03 ($399 list) is an inexpensive system from the stalwart budget PC maker. Its components are nothing we haven't seen before: a dual-core AMD Athlon processor, a few GB of RAM, a decent-size hard drive, some space for upgrades, ...

Inexpensive. Dual-core processor. Some room for expansion. Available in multiple retail outlets

Increasingly obsolete technology. Slow performance. No DX10 3D capabilities

Review: eMachines ET1161-03

By David Murphy

The system bears a sluggish a 2.3-GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ CPU coupled with 3GB of DDR2-667 memory nestled into an ECS motherboard. A single Western Digital drive provides 320GB of storage, which you might consider the highlight of this machine's ...
