Product DescriptionThe eMac comes packed with features and attributes that could easily make the dean’s list. Come to think of it, you might say it is the dean’s list made manifest. It’s true that the eMac’s design aesthetics are distinctly Apple-like. But the inspiration for the eMac came from you. For example, you asked for a 17-inch screen – while making it clear that you didn’t want to have to buy new desks to accommodate a physically bigger computer. By the same token, you liked . . .

Combine a decent G4 with a low end 17″ monitor and 128MB of very slow SDRAM and you get a computer that should stay on the shelf. Don’t buy anything but a PowerMac with 512M of DDR-SDRAM. If you want to run any high end software then make it a dual G4. I wouldn’t curse an eMac on my worst enemy. Think before you buy.

Noticed a few things with our eMac:–The unit didn’t turn on initially. Checked everything, nothing seemed wrong. Tried again later and it worked fine. . . has worked ever since. Go figure. –The power switch is a bit difficult to reach. –Highest screen resolution has a relatively low refresh rate. I don’t have a problem with it, but others might. –Apple doesn’t offer a version of the eMac with a SuperDrive (CD-R/W, DVD-R). They should. –White keyboard and mouse look great, but I wonder how dirty they will start to look over time?The eMac is basically a Power Mac G4 from a year ago for around a thousand bucks. I think this is a good value, but I would be more impressed if the system retailed for $999 and came with 256M of RAM (Mac OS X really likes RAM!).

My Uncle bought an eMac and it never works right. He puts a lot of software on it which is probably the problem. It also won’t work with his MP3 player. I wouldn’t work with the scanner he bought until he called tech support for an hour. I have a friend in my Mac club who took his eMac back and bought an iMac for similiar reasons. His iMac works great. This model may be cheap but you get what you pay for. Save yourself the trouble.

The first thing that is immediately noticable about this computer is that it is LOUD. After using an iMac, which is virtually silent, this came as a great surprise. The second thing I noticed is that the mouseclicks don’t seem as crisp as on other Macs. For example, if you go to a menu item and click there is a perceptible hesitation, and when you release the click the menu seems to “fade away” instead of just closing. I don’t know if this is a function of OS X, but it’s not pleasant. The screen is huge and the picture quality is good. the sound quality is good. I haven’t used OS X before. My immediate reaction is I don’t like it, after having used Macs since the SE 30. The computer was packaged well. UPS managed not to destory it, which says alot. (One foam insert was cracked, but not all the way through and the computer was fine. )As always hooking up the computer and getting on line was extremely easy. As always, any Mac is better than any Wintel machine.

Let me start by saying I own a Macbook Pro and LOVE it. I liked the Mac setup so much I bought my daughter an eMac. She had trouble with it so we brought it to CompUSA (where we bought it) to have it repaired. A week after we got it home it was broken again. This computer is heavy and hard to carry because there is nothing to hold onto. Since we bought Applecare we brought it to an Apple store to have it repaired again. They were great. Turned out that it would cost too much to repair and gave us a new iMac to replace it. We were very happy with their service, but the eMac just didn’t work for us.
