Family PC for work and play
IF you are looking for a desktop computer that easily blends in with your home decor, check out the Acer eMachines EZ1601.
Elegant in Diamond Black, accentuated with green LED lighting and a silver rim, the machine resembles a photo frame, complete with a matching keyboard and mouse.
Aesthetics side, the EZ1601 is easy to use. Just press on the green Power button on the display and you’re good to go. It has what’s necessary to get running quickly, including Windows XP, an 18.5-inch widescreen LCD that can be tilted, and integrated speakers. Builtin 802.11b/g wireless technology allows for quick connection to the Internet.
The EZ1601 stands out as an entertainment centre for the family. The display offers a highly satisfactory viewing experience with its 16:9 aspect ratio and 1,366 by 768 pixels resolution. Combined with the speakers and embedded high-definition audio support, this machine is great for playing DVDs or online entertainment.
And you can just press the Reduce, Increase or Mute button on the keyboard to adjust the volume.
Using the multi-card reader on the side of the display, you can quickly transfer photos, videos and files from cameras, camcorders and other peripherals directly to the PC.
Conveniently located on the right side of the display, the SuperMulti Double Layer drive makes it easy to watch movies or burn DVDs and CDs.
The EZ1601 is just what families need – a computer for work and play, for the young or old. It would have been even more appealing if it were fully wireless – including the keyboard and mouse.
