eMachines T5048 Review

- With a CRT monitor and a single-core processor that appeared in the fastest, high-end PCs just a couple of years ago, the T5048 feels like a throwback system. Now, this machine--with its 3.06-GHz Pentium 4 CPU and 512MB of memory--costs just $600 (as of November 6, 2006). At the time of our review, you could have shaved $100 from that price with the available mail-in rebates.
