Low end with shoddy parts and construction. But cheap. You get what you pay for.

I had one once. It finally died. But when it worked, it worked well enough. Not good for gaming though.

I used to own an Emachine. The motherboard essentially "melted" after a couple years.

My high school actually had both Dells and Macs. Which you used depended on what class you were in.

If by most people you mean most people on this site, it's because the emachines are typically made with junky parts and are never powerful enough for gaming. They aren't horrible if you just need a general computer.
