I've owned several and I maintain a handful for a company near my house. They're basic machines with just about everything builty in.

Its all on the premise of the disposable computer, imo, since nothing inside the micro-atx case is really upgradeable (a shortage of available slots is one reason). But, for your average user not looking for blinding horsepower or extreme longevity, then an emachine isn't a bad buy. I would, however, recommend telling whomever is looking at buying an emachine that upgrade options down the line may be few and far in between. If this is a longterm purchase, then building a custom PC (or having one built) would be a much better option.

Otherwise, an emachine is a fine idea, as long as you understand the longterm constraints.
