Advantages: Very Good Specs
Disadvantages: Slow Inrternal Navigation

The specs on this computer are really worth the money now for it. The computer has now been brought down to about £250 in the shops so it's quite good as a first off computer for people who want to learn how to use and computer and browse the internet and so forth. The 60GB HDD drive is awesome to hold your own data on however I now have two hard drives in this computer (so that means you can add on hard drives!) and therefore you can increase the ...
...2.2 Ghz is good for simple tasks such as browsing and downloading data onto your computer. You can instal a better intel celeron processor if you want to do more complicated tasks such as downloading at a far more faster speed off different sites. The RAM is adequate for the use of this computer too. again it's only for simpler tasks more RAM is good for when burning CD's onto disk a lot. A big disadvantage to this computer is the fact that you ... Read review

...it's much smoother. So far it's been rock solid (Touches wood as writes that!) So from now on I'm sticking to 'band Name' PC's - Packard Bell most likely. A bit more expensive, but it pays in reliability, and a VERY helpful user forum at www.packardbell.co.uk ... Read review

Advantages: Good Solid Components
Disadvantages: Lack Of Ram, Poor Quality Input Devices

I have owned the eMachines 770 for nearly 2years 4months, it was originally purchased as a cheap student machine. It has served me well in the years i have owned it, i have replaced the minimal amount of things on this machine, mainly the keyboard, mouse and speakers that came with it as they were 'budget' alternatives that i found very 'flimsy'.

...basic pc/internet user for browsing ect. As this system is now nearly 3 years old, the chances are that any potential buyer will be buying second hand, for college work or a low budget family system.

Anyone knows that a movie takes up around 700MB - 1GB of space and if you want to store your DVD's on your PC you can only fit about 15 onto 20GB as you need space for other ...
...to replace it. Packard Bell make reliable PC's, they just dont put the relevant things into them. They need to try harder on new PC's to get them up to the standards! They should plan ahead, 300-500GB HDD's should now be put into PC's to cope with the new developments. ... Read review
