eMachines

by bobchase Dec 28, 2004 5:38PM PST

I purchased an eMachine T2615 from BEST BUY about 18 months ago and it works beautifully. I believe the seller is a reputable company and sells only quality merchandise. Like with all purchases, if a rebate is offered be sure to send the information by registered mail. My experience has been that sometimes the information is "not received" by the rebater.

Sony has a bad. . .

track record on support. Major bad. You might visit PCMag.com and PCWorld.com. Read some of the reviews on service for Sony.

Good luck,
