eMachines T3516

eMachines T3516
Full Set Optical Reader Angle Size Comparison

review

The eMachines T3516 ($400 direct) is the kind of PC you're likely to see in your local big-box electronics store's Sunday sales circular. It is a basic PC that competently serves up Web sites, Microsoft Office documents, and basic computing needs to a nondemanding public. If you're looking for a system that can handle business and home computing tasks, the T3516 is likely to be "enough" PC for your needs.
