eMachines EM250 Netbook

 

A slim netbook that's also cheap, but how will it fare against new generation models?

Slimmer design than the Acer Aspire D150, fairly light-weight, decent response touch-pad with multi-touch gestures, good pricing

Small keys on keyboard may not appeal to many, no Windows OS pre-installed

Do your research to make sure it is for

 

There was only one particular reason I bought this thing; to watch mlb.tv. The retail sales clerk is paid to say yes it can. It barely can. It redefines slow I am guessing a lot of it has to do with it having windows xp as an operating system instead...

companion computer

 

I purchased this netbook as companion to my 17" laptop. It has served its purpose very well. It has delivered what it was advertised to do. I carry this netbook when I don't want to carry the much heavier laptop. It fills the gap between the laptop and...

Very Very Nice Machine!

 

My wife uses it for: (i) surfing the net; (ii) email; and (iii) tennis desk management for local tennis tournaments, using the USTA 'TDM' program which depends on Microsoft .NET 3.5 which comes installed on this XP-SP3 machine. I actually prefer XP-SP3...
