Last February I bought an Advent E.go to use at school. It seemed at the timr to be a very good buy with only one draw back, It had no Floppy Disk Drive, This didn't bother me as I planned to buy a Zip Drive as I had one at home and all the school Pc's had them. The Processor was a 450 MHZ processor and the Hard Disk was 8 GB which was plenty. I have from the start been plagued with problems. The First Printer I bought would not configure to the ...
...my Dads Laptops USB ports. Then the second Printer I eventually had to buy Wouldn't Configure either. When I took the Pc in to be looked at it turned out that the USB Bus Hub wasn't connected properly. This was a manufacturing fault. Then after having this sorted out the Pc while just running word crashed and had to be re-booted for no apparent reason. I lost two pieces of G.C.S.E. Coursework. Then I put the computer into storage for two months during ... Read review

I purchased my Advent 3070 9 months ago from PCWorld. My previous computers had been home constructed affairs, however, when you buy a Motherboard from this Co. Memory from that Co. Periferals from a variety of others and you experience problems finding some faults can be very awkward as each tries to blame the other. So I ended up selecting something with reasonable power. I also wanted a Digital Camera, Scanner and Printer all with Buy now - Pay ...
...to be a one-time buy System. Within the first month I had a HDD failure, and to be fair to PCWorld they repaired it PDQ and replaced the 30Gb with a better 40Gb for my trouble. I also bought a re-writer, as I have a heap of LP's I want to burn to CD's. The machine came with 128MB as standard memory, which I am considering upgrading to 256MB as I have scanned the old LP sleeves (in 4 parts - which I need to 'stitch' together, this takes memory, and ...

The hp Compaq stunned my mind when I heard its ability to deliver proven technology. I have some influence on deciding on which type of computer hardware or software to purchase in office. The PC device comes with dual core technology type and the dual core simply means that the PC is capable of having more than one processor and it has advantages over those PCs that have only one processor because it is quite faster and can process numerous in ...

Disadvantages: Can't think of any....

I was absolutely blown away by this little computer! My partner, who is a graphic designer, bought this to replace the PC we had and as soon as I got on it I was away! It is so user friendly and easy to navigate. I have learned so much through just using and I don't get irritated by it because it hardly ever crashes. When it does 'crash' or 'freeze up' it's very easy to rectify as you just click 'force quit' and it solves the problem! Brilliant! ...
...to get it working again! Yay! There is also some really fun software already on it like the IMovies and IDVD that you can create your own little movies with photographs with music and effects. It's really good fun and that's the key to this little Mac, it's fun to use whatever you're doing! ... Read review

Well the Dell Dimension 2400 I could say is pretty good for business purposes. Dell does let you customize it but its more of a business system. Its not really all that fast, it has two ram slots no agp slot. Which means no video card, which means no high quality good games. How ever I recommend this system for typing, at home jobs, and for searching purposes. Pretty good size monitor but thats about it. Works with windows xp and lower O.S. Read review
