Gateway Gateway Desk Tops & Laptops Review

I bought a Emachine ET1810 for my grandson , so he could do his homework.  It runs Vista by Windows.  It has an Intel Celeron  processor with 420 @ 1.6GHz. It only has 2 GB of Ram, but that is enough for a twelve year old to do his homework and it can be upgrade later.  It has a 32 bit operating system, whatever that means.  Okay, it warms up fast and responds quickly and he does alot of multi-tasking on it.  It is really, really, low priced and your getting alot for your money.  There is a monitor that can be bought separately, tha is also a great deal.  The best part of the whole deal is that he isn't on my computer at times when I have something to do. I use his for small jobs during the day when he's at school or sometime just to relax and play a game of hearts.  The down side of this is that EMachines doesn't have a great support team and can choose to charge you for certain things that should be free. They also might tell you to try the support at Gateway, who also charges a fee.  You can also purchase support at Best Buy with the Geek Squad.  On the whole the computer is alright for what it was purchased for.
