This new PC is!!!!

Upgrading from a 4 year old cheapy laptop, this basic tower is a decent peice in the power standpoint, with a 2.7 dual core, 4GB ram, 750GB HD, and my first win 7 machine. Monitor size is about 4.5inches larger than lappy, each core almost twice as fast, 4x ram, and MASSIVE amounts of HD... A VERY nice upgrade! setup was a breeze, connected right away, I had to look inside to make sure the fans were on its soooooo quiet! The keyboard is kind of a crappy one, as the mouse, but I have a nice multimedia pair I'll be swapping out next restart.

I have barely got this thing out of the box, but it far out performs anything else I've used! And the amazing part is it was under $500!!!!!!!!!! Like I said I have had good expirences with eMachines before, and thats alot of what made up my decision. I will see just how it performs as I use it, but my grandparents love their eMachines, and my parents HPs suck to a whole mew level! I was tempted by another Toshiba, but the price would have been out of my range, as were dell, mac, and most other systems in the same basic class.

A comarison of my comps to cars would be, IDK... My first HP tower(04-08): a geo metro(everything just died)... My Toshiba Lappy(06-current): umm, IDK, a ford taurus(blew a head gasket and overheated)... This new Machine: Nissan Skyline...

I am going to take care of this thing like its my only child lol... I'm going to 'keep' antivirus software current. dust will NOT build up inside it. It will be shut off when not in use. I will make the recovery DVD's*note to self*

And most importantly, I'm the only one who's gonna use it...

I would recomend this machine(ET1831-07) to those who need a decent basic computing box, without all the extra software bull most higher priced units have.

I'm off to explore all new parts of the interwebz I have never seen before...
