Question
I an buying my daughter a computer for Christmas, Walmart has the emachine for $498, has intel dual core processor, monitor , etc.
What is your opinion of the emachines.
eMachines is an Acer subsidiary, so QC is relatively good, before the purchase they were known for decent QC as well, in addition to providing (usually) the lowest cost systems in a given segment. Not exactly the best/most fancy thing on the block, however for basic daily use, more than enough. You may also want to consider Dell Computer, they'll usually offer a package for around $500, especially during the holiday season.

Experience
I have been an enthusiast of PC's for many years, and can answer questions about the purchase/use of a new computer or the purchase, installation, and use of upgrades for existing computers. There probably isn't a whole lot related to the home computer that I haven't seen over the years.
