I was looking at various e-machine models recently at Circuit City. The salesguy shook his head....his take on them is that they can be extremely OK or extremely BAD. His recommendation was to get as much extended warranty coverage as you can.
(Having said that, getting my "mainline" HP laptop to work, fixed, repaired, and replaced, was an absolute fiasco, even with as much warranty as I could buy from "Best Buy").
