The eMachines T6536 continues the value proposition introduced in the earlier T6532 system. It's eMachines' top-of-the-line PC, and includes such high-end components as 1GB of system memory, a 250GB hard drive, a dual-layer DVD burner, and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. It's what I like to call a "plussed" version of eMachines' value systems—it has the stuff you expect, plus more—and though it costs more than its siblings, it's still a reasonable $590 (direct, without monitor), which puts it squarely in the budget-PC area. The T6536 is a PC for mid-level users looking for another PC for the house, or an advanced novice who wants a computer he can easily modify. It is a good choice for junior-high-school, high-school, and even beginning college students, since the T6536 has the expansion room to grow with their needs.
