Acer Aspire M5800-U5802A and eMachines EZ1601-01 Nettop - eMachines EZ1601-01 Nettop
(Page 3 of 4 )
A Nettop computer can have its advantages, such as being energy efficient, taking up little room in your home or office, and fitting into a tight budget. The disadvantages that usually come with Nettops, though, make one wonder about the need for them. Typically poor performance give them limited capabilities, and you could be better off sacrificing the storage space you would gain by simply getting a budget desktop, or a netbook.
Such is the case with the eMachines EZ1601-01 Nettop. The EZ1601-01 has a nice large screen and decent feature set when compared to other Nettops, but its sub-par performance limits its range in terms of what it can do for you. Unless you like the novelty of its design, you are far better served looking into a netbook for similar portability or even a cheap desktop.
The eMachines EZ1601-01 is available for a retail price of $399. The EZ1601-01 comes with a standard one year warranty on parts and labor. You can visit the company's website for additional reference information and help as well as receive support from a 24/7 phone line.
The eMachines EZ1601-01 comes with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor and 512KB of L2 cache. It also has 1 GB of DDR2 SDRAM, as well as a 160 GB hard drive. Needless to say, this configuration limits you in terms of what you can actually accomplish with the EZ1601-01. Very basic web browsing and tasks such as working on documents and checking your email are as much as you can do without suffering shoddy performance.
Integrated graphics comes in the form of a Intel GMA 950 graphics processor. Windows XP is the operating system that comes loaded on the EZ1601-01. What you see is pretty much what you get, as updating the configuration on the EZ1601-01 yourself is pretty much a no-go unless you truly know what you are doing. On the flip side, one positive to the EZ1601-01 is its low power consumption, although that much is to be expected from a low performing device.
