eMachines Brings New All-in-One EZ Desktop for Home Users

eMachines has announced today the expansion of its line of all-in-one desktop PCs with the introduction of the new EZ1601-01 desktop, a low-power, affordable computer system that can provide users with the basics in computing technology. According to Acer's subsidiary, the new eMachines all-in-one desktop combines the sleek and stylish design of the company's EZ series with low-power hardware that can ultimately deliver the necessary computing solution for running everyday applications.

“The eMachines EZ1601-01 all-in-one PC proves style doesn’t have to come at a price premium,” said Glenn Jystad, senior manager, desktop products for eMachines. “It also shows that capabilities and functionality don’t have to be sacrificed at the expense of great design.”

The EZ1601-01 all-in-one PC has been built on one of Intel's most successful platforms to date, the 945GSE Express chipset and the Atom N270 processor, clocked at 1.6GHz. These are basically the same hardware components that have been featured in the majority of netbooks and nettops on the market, providing users with a lower performance system that is higher on energy efficiency. In addition to the aforementioned Intel CPU and chipset, the Irvine, California-based PC vendor has also equipped the system with 1GB of DDR2 memory, a 160GB hard drive, a multi-in-one card reader, SuperMulti optical drive, five USB 2.0 ports, built-in speakers, keyboard and mouse.

For an MSRP of US$399,99, the 18.5-inch all-in-one PC from eMachines is said to be capable of providing users with a basic computing experience in a convenient, all-in-one package. The system will be available in Diamond Black with green LED Lighting and silver trim, boasting a thin design for users to easily install it in almost any part of the room.
