I was looking for a fairly inexpensive laptop and came across this one. Originally I had seen it on ebay, but it was more expensive, so I checked Amazon. The laptop has an older processor, but I don't see any difference in the speed compared to a much more expensive and newer laptop that my husband just bought that has the newest processor out. The only con to this laptop is that there is no built in webcam, but its an easy fix. Just would have been nice if it was built in. Other than that, I love it. It works great and the design is awesome. I would highly recommend this to any person looking to purchase it for enjoyment. (I.E. surfing the web, downloading music, print pictures, etc.)

I purchased this computer a couple of weeks ago and I have to honestly say that I love the hell out of this thing ! It was a great deal, perfect size ( larger than your normal notebooks) and has everything you need on it ! I also purchased a nice router to go along with it. It is fast, clear, nice size screen, great resolution, battery life is about five hours.. I am very, very pleased with this computer !!!

Not a ton of features, but has a fast enough processor for web surfing and MS Office. Goes to sleep and comes back to life quickly with Windows 7. Good alternative to a netbook that has a micro-sized screen. I also have the Acer version (straight Acer brand, not Acer eMachines) and it is almost identical to this laptop, but has an AMD processor. I think this processor feels a little faster. Just wish the processor was a dual-core. Also beware that the screen resolution only has a height of 768, which by today's standards is a little short. But for the money, you can't beat it.

I bought mine for about $300 and so far its been a great laptop. My 4 year old watches DVDs on it and cartoons off youtube and its great for surfing the web. It has done everything I have asked it to do and is actually faster than my desktop with a dual core processor. Ive pretty much put away the desktop. It starts right up and shuts down in the blink of an eye as well. My only problem is with the touch pad which seems finicky but I hear theres a fix for that...Im just too lazy to try. This was an excellent value, it does more than a netbook will and at about the same cost. If you just need a basic setup then this is it.

Just got this today. As a test for the processor and ram I downloaded Wow. It runs at about 23 fps. Which is better than the desktop I had that had an AMD processor. It is a new experience working on Windows 7. It is pretty nice, but will take a little bit to get used too. Over all very satified at the moment.

I just picked my e525-2200 from Best Buy for a smooth $279.99 plus tax. That's much cheaper than anywhere I've ever seen it. The laptop is packed full of features and Windows 7 is amazing. I only have a few complaints. The first is that when you click and drag the mouse it takes about a second or half to let go of whatever you were dragging it across. It's a real pain when dragging a Google map to see another location. The other complaint that I have is the fact that the speakers' volume is basically non-existent on my computer. It is very quiet. When watching Hulu videos I have to be really close to the screen even at the highest level of volume. This may just be a problem with my computer. I'm going to see how well emachines's customer service treats me when I have a break from grad school. I couldn't pass up the deal I found on this, but there may be a better deal out there for $370.00!

i purchased this computer about a week ago and for a budget computer it does everything i need. if you cant afford a top tier laptop this would be a great choice.

I think it is a great computer for the money. My only warning is that it only has 2 USB ports. That is tricky and I didn't catch it in the description. 2 is definitly not enough for me but other than that its just great.

This is a great laptop. I've been looking for a new one for a little over a year, and I this this was an awesomesauce deal. It's faster than our desktop, with enough memory to hold all the music I want it to. Windows 7 is great. Oh! If you plan on downloading iTunes on this computer, make sure you find the free download of the 64-bit version. :) It's also free. This is probably true for other problems, so keep an eye on what you download (not that it's a problem).

DEAR AMAZON,

You guys have this computer priced at $1,300 when the price should be $300. You might want to correct this ASAP before someone file a lawsuit.

NOTE* To all customers that are interested in buying this laptop, you might want to check the price listed for first. Again the price of this laptop should be $300 because i have one and that was the price i bought it at Wal-Mart.
