eMachines ET1331-40e PC Review

The ET1331-40e uses a plain black mini tower case with a glossy front panel that contains two external drives bays and five card reader slots with support for nine different flash media formats. Here you'll also find 2 USB 2.0 ports and headphone and microphone jacks. A big green backlit power button is positioned in the center of the panel. The lone optical drive is a DVD multi drive (a Blu-ray drive would be too much to ask for at this price). The ET1331-40e is outfitted with a 500GB, 7,200 rpm hard drive that offers plenty of storage for digital photos, video clips, and music files.

Price : $499.99
