Sorry PC Specialist Panda........Show me a brand new 299$ Laptop with 5 dollar shipping a 1 year warranty. I just want to see what your referring to. Yes Celeron is not all that good, Yes 15.4 is a tad bulky, Yes emachines is a cheapo company, but in the end its still brand new and cheap as hell. Its good for what it is!
I have a Acer Laptop with a AMD/ 2GB Ram/ 160GB HD/ DVDRW/ Webcam/Vista and It works great with anything I need to do. Is it a top of the line Laptop.......far from it............does it work well with no issues for the 1st year ive owned it.....YES!

All im saying is there are better deals to be found. Some are just a tad more money, but its worth it for better equipment. Check out netbooks. Same or better specs, way smaller, and under $400. Here is a example. (stock price)

Yes, it is to me. I have a 12 inch for tuning my car, and a 14 inch for my daily. Im looking into a 8.9 inch for the car. 15+ inch screens are nice, but that means the rest of the laptop is also large and heavy. Bigger laptops are also cheaper to make, which brings costs down. Laptops are mobile devices, I think they should be as small as possible without sacrificing anything.
My 16 laptop isn't heavy
and it's a DC celeron 2.4
"heavy" is what you think it is.
I've had the same computer for five and a half years now and it's an eMachine, i've never had a problem.. mom and pop both got emachine computers as well. We've never had any issues with them.
ok.. here it goes..
Emachines is a company that went out of business years ago. They did due to the low quality of their products (we're talking their circuit boards were literally falling apart).
However, their "factories" were bought by Gateway modified to a point that PCs would keep working, and branded as a low grade gateway machines.
Emachines is a normal computer. If you don't play games, don't need multiple harddrives, don't use heavy software (photoshop, autocad etc), then that PC will serve just fine.
In a nutshell, Emachine computers are POS, but if you're not abusing them, they will work..
Same as if you wanted to drag race, you wouldn't buy a cavalier, right? And if you were to use the cavalier, then you would build a roll cage, you would enhance the engine/trans, remove weights.. which would make it a totally different car.
Same here, if you were to want to use the emachines for heavy duty processing, by the time when you're done, you could buy a normal computer for the same money

However, I dont think a laptop should be used for anything hardcore like gaming and such. You would have to spend at least 1.5X the cost of a PC to get the same performance of a laptop. The most hardcore thing I do with mine is photoshop, make some eboots and modify PSP roms. Ohh noes.
I mostly use my laptop...well actually...I ONLY use my laptop. All I did was upgrade the RAM a bit, and added an external hard drive. I used to use Photoshop Cs3 with it, but kind of stopped now. So just mainly watching movies and surfing the web. Some office type of work and that's about it. Had the computer for quite some time and has been pretty good to me.
