We have tested and reviewed a half a dozen eMachines notebooks. Reviewing the eMD620 by eMachines was much like a deja vu: it is exactly the same as the eMachines e620 from the inside, but looks a bit differently from the outside.

Where I live, when you buy something cheap almost always means that you get something which is not good. The eMachines series of Acer seems to fight against this rule: they are cheap, but extremely reliable and their performance is outstanding in their class.
I got this time an Acer eMachines e620 which I could test [...]

I think I owe a pack of beer to our supplier for letting me testing this notebook. I tested in the past year about 10 notebooks –also wrote review about 5 or 6 –, but the Acer AS6930 crowned the past year with its performance, stability and, well, coolness.

During my daily routine, when I check all the sites I have to, Google Webmaster Group, and other forums I visit, I noticed a, well… Let’s say trend: more and more webmasters think that it’s a good idea to ban whole countries from their websites and servers. So is this wise or just a result [...]

The notebook’s design is quite nice, the case is black and the LCD is high quality, bright and my only issue with it was the reflections. It’s like a mirror, you can see yourself in it. Quite annoying.
