During this month of June we’ve been looking at TigerDirect’s certified desktops. The eMachines ET1331G-03w, our last stop, is a great all around the system for home and office. It’s hardware is powerful enough to play intense 3-D games at low settings as well as the ability to easily handle web browsing, word processing, and email without breaking a sweat. Inside is a dual core AMD (Athlon II X2 235e) running at 2.7GHz, 6GB of medium speed (DDR2 memory), and a 750GB hard drive. The integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE graphics card isn’t going to blow your mind but will handle games like Sims 2, Counter Strike Source, and Max Effect at medium to low settings. Windows 7 is the operating system. Also included is the flash card reader, DVD-RW Optical Drive, wired keyboard/mouse, and USB speakers. Brand new the machine went for $399 and up, refurbished it goes for $369 + shipping at TigerDirect.

User Review Summaries
The eMachines ET1331G-03w originally came out in October of 2009 at Walmart and other box stores. During the 6 months it was sold it garnered a total of 202 reviews with a 4.7 Star Rating. Most everbody bought the system do handle basic home and office computing. Over and over people explain that it’s a great value for the money considering the hardware it comes with. “When you match component for component ie. 2.7 ghz Processor speed, Dual Core, 6 Gig memory (upgradeable to 8), 750 gig SATA hard drive, etc. this machine is a significant value over other manufacturers offerings.” It hooks up quickly and works quietly, handles programs and multitasking with speed. If you’re a gamer you’ll probably need to upgrade the video card and 300W power supply; otherwise you’ll be fine with this machine.
