As far as emachines the Free Geeks Recycling centers automatically
pull emachines as failures. You get what you pay for...
The super small form factors I'm actually quite attracted to myself
overall. I think they would make great ssh machines, routers and the
like. but a 1.6Ghz machine is not going to have the performance of a
Quad Cord Phenom. ... So it's a specific niche. I have seen some with
good enough graphics cards in them that ran home multimedia centers
and they mount on the back of the monitor/tv. Definitely green,
definitely a good way to have a portable computer if you add one of
the small lcd monitors that are what 4x6? I prefer Asus, if Lenevo is
putting out something and they are as good as the laptops I and my
family have had I would get them too.
