This PC is clearly marketed towards people looking to dip their tow into the computing world, or upgrade their previously horrible computer equivalent they got in like 2002. (eg:YOUR PARENTS.)
So if it's people upgrading their ugly tower for an ugly tower because the price is right... they don't care, and nor should eMachines. No, it probably can't play Doom (to your satisfaction, anyway) but that isn't the intent of the users, who want to check their e-mail and get the newest pictures of their grandkids......
THANK YOU FOR SERVING YOUR PURPOSE, EMACHINES.
You, I, and about 98% of the readership of this site wouldn't touch it with a 50-foot pole. Products aren't created and marketed solely in search of the approval of Engadget.com.... and if they fail to get said approval, it doesn't mean their product is inferior... it just means it doesn't fit into the demographic.
If the same product is made by ASUS, Engadget would be blaming their erections on the pleats in their pants.
