eMachines comes out swinging with the EZ1601-01 all-in-one PC. The “EZ” stands for “easy on the wallet” — I should have been in advertising — as the machine is priced at just $399. The company apparently saved a bunch of money on the above product image with the weird GIF outlines and is passing the savings on to you!
It’s basically a netbook in a monitor as far as specs go:
- Intel Atom N270 (1.6GHz)
- Windows XP Home
- 18.5-inch monitor with 1366×768 resolution
- 1GB of RAM
- 160GB hard drive
- 8X DVD burner
- Ethernet/Wi-Fi
- Five USB ports, two PS/2 ports (!), audio in and out
- Weighs nine pounds
The machine has just been unveiled and isn’t quite available in stores or online yet, although it shouldn’t be too long.

with intel atom problem handling video in any typo, that will be a wasted
I’d be more excited if it wasn’t an eMachines, which = cheaply made and underpowered.
I saw an E-Machines laptop recently. Looked and felt pretty good for the money. Seems like they’ve improved since being taken over by Acer.
Too bad they put an N270 Atom in this desktop. That will keep your employees from watching any type of video on the nice large screen at work.
They’re not restricted by the fascist Intel netbook rules here. At least they could have put an N330 in, or an Athlon 64. $399 with an 18 inch display seems reasonable though.
