eMachines has introduced small form factor desktop Mini-e ER1402, which is powered by Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, an AMD Athlon II NEO Processor, Nvidia GeForce 9200 graphics and 2GB of memory.

The company said that the new ER1402 provides full HD multimedia entertainment, every day computing capabilities and has the ability to snap to the back of most monitors or TVs, serving as a home entertainment centre and streamlining limited work areas.

According to eMachines, the Mini-e has built-in 802.11 b/g/n wireless, four USB 2.0 ports, a multi-in-one digital media card reader and a 160GB hard drive. The HDMI interface allows it to connect to a big screen TV and an S/PDIF port allows the system to digitally connect to a home audio system.

In addition, the new system can also be used for basic computing tasks, such as word processing, VOIP calls, email, spreadsheets or managing family finances, the company said.

Steve Smith, senior business manager at consumer desktops for eMachines, said: "Today’s cost-conscious consumer will find style, features and affordability come together beautifully in the low-cost eMachines Mini-e.

"It’s an inconspicuous, streamlined computing solution for any room of the home where consumers want to enjoy movies, photos, music and other online entertainment."
