eMachines (which is also a part of Acer) announced last week their second generation small form factor PC system – the EL1300 Series. The new PCs are 1/3rd the size of traditional desktop PC systems, come in a white glossy finish, and even offer a pleasant “smile” (which is basically a “swooping green LED and silver branding design” found on both their desktops and matching displays).
