Acer hasn't released a new eMachine laptop in a long time, but with the booming popularity of netbooks it has launched itself back into the fray.

Acer has released the eMD620-5777, a low cost, low performance notebook which appears to be designed to compete with netbooks. The eMD620-5777 has a 14.1" wide screen display as well as a DVD burner, making it seem like it's a regular laptop until you hear that the price is only $429. To compensate, the machine comes packed with AMD's 1.6GHz Athlon 2650e - a low power processor for small PCs, along with a single GB of RAM, so we can expect the battery life and performance of the unit to be meager. But as far as surfing the web, doing word processing and watching videos go, it will probably do fine. It also comes with ATI Radeon x1200 graphics, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, a 160GB HDD and 3 USB ports. It's loaded with Vista too. The eMD620-5777 will be at Best Buy beginning November 1st. Via crave

    I love this laptop. I am currently using it. It is wonderful. It comes with Vista Basic. It is extremely fast with 160 GB hard drive and 2 GB of RAM. WiFi, DVD burner, fast battery recharge. about 2-3 hours of battery. Doesn't get that hot. I have the Emachine D620
