eMachines

[Michael Hipp]

The one issue I have with eMachines is last time I checked they offer *no* downloadable drivers or software on their website. None. So if you lose your restore DVDs or do an upgrade you're out of luck to get updated drivers. This wouldn't be an issue if running Linux, but for Windows it can be a killer.
