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.

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 for my 16 year old, and she’s been very happy with it, no problems at all. An awesome price for a refurbished computer that you would never know wasn’t perfect! I’m very happy.

This laptop was purchased for a family member who never had a computer or laptop. She was still using a old fashioned type writer. This was the perfect gift for her for her Birthday. She can use this to surf the web and learn all about the laptop features and functions. She can also use it for college. She is so happy with it.

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).
