Is it any good?

What about other desktop solutions, ie. e-machines, are they any good?

There are plenty of rivals out there. Pretty much all PC manufacturers have a model like that today.

The Dell is available in Thailand, it comes in two models, neither of them have impressive specifications though, and they are heavily overpriced compared to the rivals. The high-end model costs around 49,000 THB and is E7500 Core 2 Duo, 3GB RAM, 500 GB HDD and GeForce 9400 gfx card. Not impressive at that price!

There are Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, Dell, Apple and others that makes these all-in-ones.

Apple, well it's Apple.

Acer and Asus have the cheaper and smaller models.

HP has some very big and powerful models, 24" screen and loads of performance, think price is around 69.000 or something for the biggest one.

Lenovo has a more medium scale model, both in price and performance.

I just bought an HP duo quad 2.66 ghz, with 4gb ram, 24" bright screen monitor, upgraded video card and added internal wireless card. Plays latest games at full resolution and does not drop a frame. Central Bangna 34,000 baht.

This replaced my Dell dimension 8200 which was RAM upgradeable at 700 USD for 1gb Rambus Ram. Also noone wanted to work on Dell as many parts need to come from Dell. Years ago Dell was best buy. Now poor and overpriced.

I have owned 4 dell pc's and two laptops over the years. Both daughters laptops became boat anchors after one year as did a few hundred of other people's. Now very overpriced, service poor. In Thailand they only market servers.
