(More customer reviews)The Emachines EL1352-43 took only 10 minutes to get from the initial power up to post setup Windows 7 initialization. However, it took about 75 minutes to burn the 3 Windows 7 System Recovery discs and 1 Driver/Application DVD discs. There is no wireless card built in so after installing and setting up my wireless network adapter into one of the 9 USB 2.0 ports the next task was to update windows with 39 updates including the new Windows 7 SP1.
Although the windows update download times will vary depending on network connectivity and MS server traffic, the installation of the updates, especially the installation time for new Windows 7 Service Pack 1 seemed slightly faster on this 2GB DDR3 Single Core AMD Sempron 150 at 2.9 GHz then it was on my 3GB DDR3 Dual Core Intel T4400 2.2 GHz powered Windows 7 laptop just 2 days earlier. Both systems run Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
The system runs very quietly. The 500GB 7200RPM Disk Drive and the two fans, a power supply and CPU cooler seemed very quiet and only a slight fan sound could be detected less than about 24 inches (.6 m) from the top, side and rear vents
The 16x DVD drive was also quiet and playback was smooth using the integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150SEnForce 430 Video Adapter with no lag or artifacts using a 1280 x1024 monitor with 32 bit true color. Unfortunately, there is no HDMI port and only VGA video output.
Keep in mind with the mini case size and the 220 watt PS there is very limited internal expansion. The only add in card slots are 1 PCI Express x16 slot and 1PCI Express x1 slot.
Even before the bloat ware removal power up boot time was only about 45 seconds and power down time about 13 seconds.
Pros:
Small size, Quiet, Value for speed, 9 USB ports, 1 Gigabit Ethernet port, 2.9 GHz Sempron.
Cons:
No HDMI, Single Core, Limited expansion capability, No built in wireless network adapter, User needs to burn 4 System Recovery/Driver DVD discs.
