Acer eMachines ER1402

Great performance for its price ; Attractive chassis ; Wireless-N connectivity

Paltry storage capacity ; The few connections lack diversity

This inexpensive compact PC performs well for the price.

Compact. Quiet. HDMI port. Quicker than dual-core Atom processors in certain tests. Inexpensive

Needs download from Internet for Flash 10.1. Bloatware. No remote included

For the same price as a smartphone or multimedia tablet, the eMachines Mini-e ER1402-05 gives you a real PC computing experience. When it's hooked up to an HDTV or large screen monitor, the ER1402-05 is great for watching videos from the Internet.

Very power-efficient; quiet; affordable

Not enough power to deal with today's Internet video; even browsing was laggy

So unless you’re faced with serious space constraints, you’d be better served by Dell’s similarly inexpensive, but less hobbled Zino HD.

Wireless networking uncommon in Nettops at this price; wireless mouse and keyboard included; monitor mountable with a separate bracket; relatively conservative design suitable for living-room use.

Can't handle HD video well; no optical drive; game consoles offer better bang for the buck.

eMachines ER1402-05 is a strong living-room Nettop among others like it, but it doesn't compete well in the larger picture of living-room entertainment devices like game consoles, media streamers, and video service-equipped Blu-ray players. It's worth...

Great little machines!! We bought over 50 of these and are using them to run our digital sign network. For the guy that said the base does not come off... two small screws on the bottom. We removed all the bases from our units, applied industrial...

Wish they had a dual core processor and a faster Hard Drive, but work great so far as-is

I bought this to replace my Comcast DVR and I love it. Why pay that gargantuan cable bill for an inferior quality picture. Standard def Hulu looks nearly as good as HD from the component outputs on the DVR. My wife panicked when I unplugged but this...

It seized up and I thought there was a problem so I turned it off. It said, "installing 1 of 54 updates." I haven't bought a new computer in 3 years and I guess it takes a couple of hours of downloads to update any computer

The computer was purchased to replace an elderly dell optiplex computer. I like its small footprint and power sipping abilities. I bought a usb speaker to go with this and it works very well

No cons as of yet

It works well for what it is (don't expect to play high end games on it, duh) ; The layout is very nice, it works as a lightweight desktop for my family, and a media streamer on my TV (not the server though, 160GB just isn't enough for that) ; We're...

None really, just keep in mind ; Proc. is lightweight, so may not be suited for larger apps or games, even though the rest of the system is build very well ; No CD/DVD/BlueRay drive, but it didn't list it on the page, and its pretty obvious from the pics

Quick and easy set up ; Practically no noise from it ; As usual, very quick delivery from Newegg

No CD drive (but I knew this ahead of time) ; Odd placement of UDB ports ; Cheap USB keyboard and mouse
