Starting at just $298, EL1200 Desktop Series PCs Pack a Powerful Punch
Despite their Diminutive Size
IRVINE, Calif.----Weighing in at just one-third the size of a traditional PC,
the new super compact eMachines EL1200 Desktop Series PCs pack as much computing
power as most mainstream full size towers, without taking up limited desk space
or much out of consumers’ wallets. Starting at less than $300, the EL1200 Series
is an extreme value that's sure to surprise and please many a shopper this
holiday season.
The budget-friendly eMachines EL1200 is powerful enough for homework
assignments or managing household finance programs, offering everything
consumers need to get online, check email and Watch YouTube videos from any room
in the house.
Small and light enough to fit on a shelf, book case or counter with ease,
eMachines’ new small form factor desktop means consumers can now have a PC just
about anywhere in the home.
“The extreme value of the eMachines EL 1200 is undeniable,” said Glenn Jystad,
senior manager, desktop products. “The ability to purchase a powerful,
well-equipped PC for less than $300 is sure to be a welcome option for consumers
tightening their budgets in today’s tough economic climate.”
Stylish, Space Saving Design
Today PCs are being integrated into main living areas such as kitchens and
family rooms, so small form factor PCs are perfect for the family den, studio
apartments, dorm rooms, smaller bedrooms and home offices.
Forty percent smaller and 55 percent lighter than eMachines’ smallest tower
PC, the EL 1200 is right at home next to the phone on a kitchen counter, where
