Are 'Advent' Laptops any good?

Question

There seems to be alot of 'Advent' Laptops in stores at the moment. Do they make good laptops?

Answer 1

No they're absolutely terrible.

PC World is the devil. My old advent packed up on me after 8 months, but the employees at PC World don't know diddly squat about computers.

Avoid

Answer 2

Answer 3

There ok, there very good laptops

Answer 4

Advent and Acer products are the worst PC items you could EVER buy!

They are attractive because of the price and what you get for the value,..but most of them have allot of problems within a few months of purchase and have to be taken back to the shops cause they don't work.

I know this,.as i work in Curry's so i've seen the angry Customers when they bring them back to the Store! ;)

The thing is though,..that our Company like to flog these as most people don't want to pay a bit more for a better PC so these bargain PC's do come in handy.

But they soon realise that they are rubbish,..and end up getting something that costs more,..but actually works!

Answer 5

NO!!!!!

thats the anwser. if u want a computer that lasts for a couple of years then dont.Advent is cheap and c**p.i knew a friend that got an advent computer and it broke down in 6 MONTHS!!

Answer 6

Advent are bascially PC World's home brand that is why you will see a lot in PC World, Dixons and Currys.

They are rubbish built with cheap components. Don't touch with a barge poll.

Answer 7

Advent is a pc world own brand. They're not completely c**p. Not the best admittedly, but certainly not the worst either. I have an advent desktop computer, and it's actually not that bad as it goes. No major problems with it. The mouse freezes from time to time on start up, but nothing restarting wont cure. Dont choose it as a first choice if you can help it, but its certainly not the worst on the market.
