my friend has it it gets around 10.3k 3dmarks2k1 stock and around 12k overclocked at 420/240

good machine.

Impressive laptop; it packs alot at a great price. Only thing missing is an eraserhead, and maybe a better reputation from emachines ;-)

and needs a better screen.

hi ftsig.

if you ahve seen the laptop in action, you can open your mouth orthewise shut up and spare stupid remarks.

gmelfissg, calm down. ftsig was just expressing his/her opinion - no need to flip out like that.

And, fwiw, I agree... the notebook only has a WXGA screen, and after using my UXGA screen, I'd never go lower than WSXGA in resolution on a widescreen notebook.

I have this laptop I like it but I agree I wish it had a sxga or uxga display and the keyboard layout is kinda wack.  All things considered though the laptop is a good deal.  I wish dell offered athlon processors...

eMachines?! When'd they start making decent comptuers?

and my friend has the version with a SXGA+ screen. i think.

i was using it today.

its pretty beastly and thick, but it has lots of cool features and crazy amounts of heat vents.
the only think that i don't like is how its all roundy and doesn't have edges like my 8600 :D

Isn't Athlon running hotter than Intel? If this is the case it's not a very bright choice for laptop.

its amd64 their new chip i didn't think it was meant for mobile though, i guess i was wrong. the laptop is supposed to get around 2-2.5 hours of battery life without and powersaving features turned on.
