ZDNet has named the Apple eMac as one of their “back to school” computer desktop picks for college students. The eMac was selected as the “Starving Student” system.
ZDNet says the eMac is an “affordable all-in-one Mac system with adequate speed and a 17-inch display.” The article adds that you “don’t mess around with setup, crazy configuration, or big price tags” and that “this sparely designed Mac has everything a student needs, including a SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW) option.” It adds that the eMac’s size “is perfect for those tiny dorm desks.”
ZDNet named the Dell Dimension 8300 as the “best in class” and the HP Media Center PC series as the “head turner” of desktop systems.
