ADVENT!? YOU LOON!

Four out of four people I know who have bought Advents have had no end
of trouble with them. One had pretty much every component in it
replaced under warranty and it was still knackered, so PC world gave
him an HP replacement instead as it was easier.

And PC world's level of customer service means that you're probably
better off talking to an Indian call centre in DELLhi

I hope for your sake I'm wrong and I hope it provides you with many
years of trouble free service. I didn't mean to piss on your bonfire.
My fingers are crossed for you.


It if it lasts the first 6 months, it will last the first 6 years.

No it won't.

The build quality is ***. On the one I was stupid enough to buy, the
lid cracked around the hinges after about 18 months. Looking at the
ones on sale on E-Bay, I was not alone.



I'm pretty gentle with laptops. It will get light (once or twice a week
max, maybe once or twice a month) use, and great care taken. that was
why didn't want to spend a grand+. If I had the cash, I would have spent
that much on my main PC, but not on a Laptop. If it was one for work
with daily use, I would have spent decent money.

BTW, has anyone seen those Alienware and Rock 19" TFT SLI gaming
laptops? My god, don't know about desktop replacement, screw four
folding legs on, and you have a desk replacement.

What's the battery life like on them? Considering that you can already spend
£3262 on one of there laptops (without adding software or a carry case and plus
delivery) what will they be charging?
