The whole Gateway/emachines merger interesting. Yes, Gateway is buying eMachines, but when all is said and done the eMachines executive team will run the new company, and Gateway will abandon its retail stores to do business through eMachine's network of dealers. So in my mind, eMachines really ate Gateway instead of vice versa. Apparently eMachines has been more profitable, in any case.
I've talked to a couple of non-power users who own eMachines, and they were happy with them. If you're just doing word processing, email, and Internet, which is all that a lot of people do, you don't need anything fancy.
