For the vast majority of computer users out there a quad-core processor and 4 GB of RAM are simply not needed. For many users the most a computer is used for is surfing the net, checking email and chatting with friends. Any computer can do that and what this sort of computer user needs is a cheap computer.

Cheap computers don’t get much cheaper than what you see with eMachines latest offerings. Two new models are now available for those looking for low cost desktops that come without a display.
