Apple eMac 17 in. (M9252LL/A) Mac Desktop

The eMac is the ideal Macintosh computer for those who are just getting their feet wet in the world of Apple. It also packs enough power and punch to satisfy the more demanding home user, and includes plenty of extra software to please students, educators, and gamers alike. The clean, crisp 17 inch screen is a beauty to behold, and although it's not as graceful as the iMac, the eMac's fluid outline is enough to make any boxy computer envious. I bought the eMac due to it's extraordinary value, since it costs the same as any generic Walmart-sold computer yet carries the same stability and security as Apple's more expensive G4 towers (which contain close relatives of the eMac's processor chip). Also, although some say the eMac is not upgradeable, it is "upgradeable" enough to satisfy most users. This includes RAM upgrades and adding wireless 802.11g.
