Hello luka78;

Adequate CPU, generous amount of RAM, slow HDD but lots of room.
Reasonable graphics card for light duty, casual gaming with that Radeon HD 6550M.

Are there many games you want to play that run on Linux? Most of the popular games run on Windows OS.

It seems a reasonably well balanced laptop. Decent match of CPU/GPU for gaming.
What is the asking price?

emachines has a reputation of being a 'budget brand' - like Compaq is to HP.
I could not find any review on that model for comparison. At best you can expect an emachine to be 'average'.

Aha, but do you have any experience with emachines at all? Generally, did they do the job without the problems?

Any laptop, any brand can have problems or fail.
Most laptops work without problems.
