This update to the eMac features a faster processor, faster RAM, a better video card, faster motherboard speed, and the addition of USB 2.0.

	Reviewed	Full Review

The 1.25GHz eMac is an impressive computer that holds its own against the pricier iMac, and the lowered price makes the top-of-the-line eMac even more appealing.

Pros: Excellent value; impressive game and application performance; the high-end eMac includes the same SuperDrive that's in the Power Mac G5 line.

Cons: Bulky CRT monitor; no FireWire 800 port.
