eMachines eMD620-5777:Best Buy to Sell 14-inch Notebook for $429
Best Buy will begin selling the eMachines eMD620-5777 notebook for $429 starting November 1st. This price point makes it cheaper than a lot of the netbooks everyone’s getting excited about.
This notebook isn’t incredibly exciting, but it is $70 cheaper than the 14-inch eMachines notebook Best Buy is selling and our contacts at Gateway (the makers of eMachines) tell us that it will be even cheaper during the holidays.
The eMD620-5777 is about the most basic 14-inch notebook you can buy right now. It has an AMD Athlon 2650e processor (which is a desktop processor), ATI Radeon X1200 graphics, 1GB of memory, DVD burner and 160GB hard drive. Its 14-inch display has a resolution of 1280×800 pixels.
It does not have the muscle that you’d expect out of most 14-inch notebooks, but it may be a good alternative to those considering netbooks solely for their low prices. Netbooks can be a good option for the budget -concious who value mobility, but there are a lot of people that just need the basics and would rather have a larger scree, full size keyboard and roomier hard drives.
At 5.29 pounds, the eMD620-5777 isn’t nearly as thin and light as a netbook and its desktop processor ensures relatively short battery runtimes. But if you spend most of your computing time near a power outlet that shouldn’t matter much.
The eMD620-5777 is a prime candidate for a Black Friday special. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the eMD620-5777 sell for as low as $249 on Black Friday. Other retailers are sure to get in on this low-priced eMachine notebook action, but their eMachines will carry a different SKU number and have slightly different specs.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
