eMachines intros Athlon II Neo-based 'floating' nettop
The ER1402 measures 7.1 inches in diameter and it can be affixed to the rear of VESA-complaint displays for a clean entertainment setup. It packs enough punch to deliver full HD video, but eMachines says the system is also suitable for flash-based social media games, Web surfing, word processing, VOIP calls, and viewing and editing photos.
Guts include an AMD Athlon II Neo processor, Nvidia GeForce 9200 graphics, 2GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD, HDMI, S/PDIF, 802.11b/g/n, four USB 2.0 ports, and a multi-card reader. The ER1402-05 ships with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit as well as a keyboard and mouse. It's currently available through various retailers nationwide for $300.

E machines are the only computers I tell people to stay away from. All companies have manufacturing defects at some point but Emachines are just terrible. |

why do they even put a 64-bit OS on this thing when it won't even utilize it?... |

We share seefizzle's opinion... Only the Packard Bell is a less reliable computer than the average eMachines... I cannot believe the eMachines intros Athlon II Neo-based 'floating' nettop would work any better or last any longer. Do they still offer only a one year warranty, and no tech support? |

If it sold without the OS, Kboard and, mouse for $150 then It would begin to look interesting. I for one have had an eMachine for over 4 years without any issues. It's mainly the kids computer now, but it works and has taken the abuse. Sig. |
