Released October, 2009
The Pros:DVD writer. Really inexpensive. Comes with Windows 7.
The Cons:Slow single core CPU. A little more money will get you a dual core ION nettop - smaller, more energy efficient, capable of outputting 1080p video. Not capable of outputting 1080p video content.

This PC comes with 2GB of DDR2 memory, a 320GB hard drive, a 16x DVD writer and integrated Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE graphics. While this is not a gaming computer, this system should provide users with enough power for basic games. For networking, a gigabit Ethernet LAN port has been included. Those looking to work with digital photos should find the 5-in-1 multimedia card reader useful. Other notable features include 9 USB 2.0 ports, a headphone jack plus a microphone jack.

onboard Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE graphics - capable of some light gaming, 720p video output

just as cheap as an Atom based nettop - yet has a faster processor and is also graphically superior to most units with Intel GMA graphics

#emachines_el1331g_01w My Parents Bought This Computer In December 2009 As A Christmas Present For Me, And I Am Kind Of A Computer Freak I Know C++, C, Java And Many More But Am Not Gonna Name Them, I Am Now 14 And Have Had No Trouble With This PC What So Ever, Infact Mine Had A PCI-E X16 Slot And I Put A GTX 560 And A AMD Phenom X4 And I Play Crysis 2 And Need For Speed The Run, I Couldn't Be More Happier With This Computer, And The Upgrades Where Definetly Alot Cheaper Than Buying A PC Pre Loaded With All These Parts.
