EMachines M5305 Review

by Carla Thornton

- WHAT'S HOT: A wide-aspect screen and a slim case are highlights of the black-and-silver EMachines M5305. The 15.4-inch display, with a native 1280 by 800 resolution, excels not only as an extrawide work monitor but also as a great after-hours movie screen. DVD action is big and smooth--gone are the black letterbox bands you see on standard notebooks. To accommodate the screen, the notebook itself is also wide, nearly 14 inches across, but it's only 1.5 inches thick and weighs just 6.6 pounds (without the power adapter). The M5305 is also inexpensive for a big-screen notebook, priced at only $1250 at the time we reviewed it.

User Reviews for eMachines M5305

Reviewed by: preasoner

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Excellent display and above average performance. The keyboard is great. The quick keys are a great feature

Weaknesses: Only one control key and spacebar could be larger

Overall Evaluation: This product is way above what I expected. A comparable Dell was $500 more. The digital widescreen is awesome. I could never go back to a "Normal" laptop display. This machine is definitely a desktop replacement for me. Performance is great. The only thing that could be an issue for some is the shared video memory but with 512MB of PC2100 DDR this is not even close to an issue for me. I have not played a game that didn't run flawlessly. Great business machine as is it's primary responsibility for me.
