Netbooks are just about the only thing keeping consumer electronics from being really really hurt by the current failconomy. ]]>Nov 25th 2008 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/

"basic build has a certain nostalgic late-1990s corporate style"

That was my favorite line from Stern's review...anyone out there feeling nostalgic for the late 1990s corporate designs? Love it.

I'm feeling nostalgic for the late-1990s economy...]]>Nov 25th 2008 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/Nov 25th 2008 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/
For the same $379, I picked up a 14" acer laptop from microcenter a few weeks ago (normal price, not sale).
It had a 1.86ghz dual-core celeron, 1gb ram, 160gb hard drive, wireless n, etc.

Not only is it probably 5x faster than this POS emachines, but its battery lasts 2.5 hours which is better than that of this emachines "laptop"]]>Nov 25th 2008 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/Nov 25th 2008 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/However, if you do have more than $379 sitting around for a primary, do get something better. ]]>Nov 25th 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/Nov 25th 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/Nov 25th 2008 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/Nov 25th 2008 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/Nov 25th 2008 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/

I'd be very careful with these laptops until it's more clear that eMachines has fixed their heat dissipation engineering problems (i.e., not putting the processor next to the battery and HD).]]>Nov 25th 2008 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/
All that being sais, this lappy uses the new ultra value AMD Athlon 2650e processor (think cheap AND slow). It may be a junk processor, but it runs circles around that Smartphone/MID processor masquerading as a netbook processor known as the Atom.]]>Nov 25th 2008 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/Nov 25th 2008 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/Nov 26th 2008 1:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/Nov 26th 2008 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/Dec 7th 2008 1:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/sub-400-emachines-emd620-5777-laptop-gets-reviewed/Oct 22nd 2009 3:48PM
