This review is from: Acer eMachines eM250-1162 Netbook - 10.1" LED / Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz / 1GB Ram / 250GB HD / 802.11g/g Wireless LAN / Webcam / Windows 7 Starter (Personal Computers)

I bought this sight unseen at Wal-Mart yesterday. They had apparently received them for a day after Christmas sale but never put them on display. I saw a bunch of them sitting in the "laptop cage" with a price tag of $228 on it. I went ahead and bought it, figuring that if I didn't like it I could take it back.

Well, I love it and I am so glad that I did get it. It's a great little netbook and I am already getting used to the keyboard. My only complaint is with the trackpad - I wish it was slightly larger. It seems to me like it could be a little wider and not affect the overall size of the case.

The screen is bright, keyboard good, I've been happy with the performance of it so far...overall I would rate this as one of my best purchases of 2009. I might even go back and try to get one for my wife. Even though I paid less than what this is selling for on Amazon, I would not hesitate to pay up to $300 for this netbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC NETBOOK, January 11, 2010

This review is from: Acer eMachines eM250-1162 Netbook - 10.1" LED / Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz / 1GB Ram / 250GB HD / 802.11g/g Wireless LAN / Webcam / Windows 7 Starter (Personal Computers)

DITTO THE WALMART STORY. Went home and read the reviews on Amazon. This emachine is identical to the Acer d250 minus the option for a larger battery, which you can purchase if you need it. So far I get a good 3 hrs browsing the internet. Great buy at $228.

Windows 7 starter is ok but does not come with an email client like outlook express(xp). Download Monzillia's Thunderbird, it works great and is much better than outlook express or windows mail.

In all this is a great netbook. Fast, good battery life, great screen, $price, and comes with 7.

As others have said go to Walmart and get one if you can find one.

I went into walmart today like everyone else and noticed this netbook. I didnt know how emachines netbooks rated so i went home and googled it, after realizing it is the same as the acer one i ran back and bought it. $228 how can you go wrong, battery time has been great so far but will probably upgrade to the 6 cell later. but as it is way more time then my laptop, seems to run fast enough but will upgrade to 2gb ram and linux soon. I love the case. I have been looking for a netbook for a while now this one really impresses.
