eMac/1.42GHz (Combo Drive)

This third update to the eMac features a faster processor, a better video card, and more hard drive capacity.

Reviewed Full Review

The latest update to the eMac brings no fundamental changes to its design or price. However, it does introduce faster processors, doubled storage capacity, and new graphics cards. Unfortunately, this $799 model does not receive the boost in installed memory that the other eMac model has gotten.

Pros: Sturdy and attractive all-in-one design; decent performance; larger hard drive; improved graphics.

Cons: Bulky; inadequate memory; no wireless support; overpriced compared with Mac mini.
