Acer bought eMachines as a way of gaining access to US market share and retail stores. It leveraged the brand to move past Dell, Toshiba, and Hewlett Packard in the portable computer space. With netbooks becoming so important over the last few years it only made sense that eMachines netbooks would start showing up but something happened.

They didn’t.

Acer released two models, the eM250-1915, and eM250-1162 in the US with not a peep after that. Even more, Best Buy is selling their remaining eMachines netbooks at clearance prices. Models which previously sold for $229 are marked down to $209.

Without any new models coming out and Acer making zero mention of developments with the brand it’s safe to say that eMachines netbooks are toast.
