eMachines Introduces Contemporary All-White Small Form Factor Desktop PC with Matching Monitor

New Mini PC`s Modern Design Combines Best-in-Class Style with Low-Cost and
Value; New Monitor Provides Cinematic Quality Viewing with New Streamlined
Styling at a Great Value

IRVINE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
eMachines today introduced a redesigned small form factor desktop PC with
matching monitor design. The EL1300 Series offers powerful performance combined
with user-friendly features and a shiny, bright, all-white design, accented with
green LED lighting. The new widescreen monitor compliments the all-white PC with
similar styling and offer consumers excellent high-definition picture quality
and innovative technology.

With its second generation small form factor desktop, the EL1300 Series,
eMachines brings style and elegance to this tiny little powerhouse. Just
one-third the size of traditional desktop PCs, these super compact systems rival
mainstream desktops in capabilities and functionality.

"Alternative color choices have been making their way into notebook lines for
some time now," said Glenn Jystad, senior manager, desktop products, eMachines.
"With the arrival of spring and summer, it`s the perfect time to introduce a
fresh, clean alternative color choice to our desktops and monitors, bringing an
exciting new look and feel to desktop PCs."

Sporting a bright white glossy finish, eMachines brings a "smile" to customers,
via a subtly swooping green LED and silver branding design, which can be found
on the desktop cases and displays.

"The amount of thought and effort put into the aesthetics and new design
features of the new desktops and monitors is significant," said Jystad. "The
price and capabilities are right on target, and the sleek ultra-modern design
offers more style than many PCs costing twice as much."

The Mini eMachines EL1300 Series is Big on Savings and Capabilities

Available this month, the small form factor eMachines EL1300 Series is currently
available in two models, the $298 EL1300G-01w and the $398 EL1300G-02w, which
includes a 20-inch widescreen LCD.

Small and light enough to fit just about anywhere, the EL1300 mini PC is perfect
for students or general home use. Just 10.7 inches tall, 4.2 inches wide and 15
inches in length, its convenient space-saving design allows it to fit easily in
a cramped dorm room or small kitchen without taking up valuable desk or counter
space, and its fresh new look will complement any room`s décor.

The new design also includes user-friendly touches, such as easy access front
ports and room for upgrades, such as a wireless network or TV tuner.

Equipped with an AMD Athlon processor, NVIDIA GeForce graphics and a roomy
160GB(1) hard drive, the EL1300 Series delivers the performance needed to surf
the Internet, download photos, stream videos, or manage a music library.
Powerful capabilities and rich graphics make it more than capable of handling
graphic-rich applications, whether it`s photo heavy multimedia applications,
casual gaming or graphic-intensive school or work projects.

The new eMachines E182H wm 18.5-inch widescreen LCD features technology that
improves productivity and enhances any viewing experience. The new space-saving
design offers both style and functionality. The shiny, bright, all-white display
matches the new eMachines desktops, enhancing the look of any home or office,
while the widescreen design allows users to view more content or multiple
documents.

Offering an excellent visual experience, this new display features 720p
high-definition support and a 1366x768 resolution. Users can enjoy the crisp
picture quality with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio and fast 5ms response time for
viewing quick action movie images. Additionally the 300 cd/m2 brightness further
improves the visual performance.

The eMachines E182H wm includes a VGA input for appealing visual quality and is
VESA compatible for multiple mounting options, whether on a desk or on the wall.
To boost the visual experience of movies and games, the eMachines E182H wm also
includes two integrated audio speakers.
