Advantages: Excellent Customer Support
Disadvantages: Slightly pricy but worth it

...brief history as to why Evesham are a Top Class Company (and, No, I don't work for them!) I first bought a PC in 1996 after studying the PC magazines for months. I chose a (then) Evesham Vale Platinum TX with a Pentiun 233MMX chip. I've had a few problems with it (the only hardware fault being a graphics card which was replaced without quibble). They have NEVER refused to help with technical queries or even with general questions about my PC. I ...
...bought a second PC from Evesham - an Origin PC with AMD Duron 650 processor. That has also worked faultlessly ever since. The only call I made to their technical department was a query I had about the motherboard and the maximum processor speed I could use on it(both were answered). I have been so happy with the PC (I work in the IT industry and have built my own PC's too) that whenever I know somebody is looking for a PC I refer them to Evesham. ... Read review

Advantages: Good combination of bits well put together
Disadvantages: Noisy fan, limited software supplied

...a little and finally selected Evesham for three reasons: First, it seemed to offer the maximum bang for each buck. Compared to its competition most components were of slightly higher specification. Second, the various magazines I read gave Evesham high marks for its machines and during my period of research it won various monthly awards for being best in class, which I saw as positive. Third, it was offered with a three year warranty, the first ...
...my latest acquisition on the Evesham website when I noticed that there was a new top of the range machine available, and at a price not greatly dissimilar from the spec I had ordered. A panic phone call followed and with absolutely no fuss the salesman agreed to modify my order. I ended up with an 1800 processor for another £40. The machine arrived without notice on 21 November in an assemblage of boxes of varying sizes and weights. Fortunately ... Read review

Advantages: None I can think of!
Disadvantages: Loads!

When I got my Evesham computer just under a year ago I immediately had problems! The CD Writer produced poor results, the system locked up and crashed. Phoning their customer support is a nightmare. You hang on endlessly until you may if you are lucky get hold of an operator. The person on the other end of the phone is obviously trained to be rude, abrupt, and making sure the blame is placed on the user. Any faults must be the software and is therefore ...
...isn't covered, unless you use their separate £1 a minute phone line (clever of them!). Eventually after reinstalling the operating system myself and dumping all their supplied software did I get a reasonably stable machine. Now almost a year on the hard drive is dieing on me. The engineer took 7 hours to phone me back, and of course blamed my software for causing this latest problem. He said that sending an engineer down to replace it would cost ... Read review

Advantages: PERFORMS WELL
Disadvantages: COSTLY.

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 ...
...use for my office work. HP has proven their competence on making computer hard wares including printers that I regard one of the best in the market currently. Well getting this in my household would cost me quite some money because this is an office use. Since I am now in need of such PC, I think of making savings for it. Its company manual description is detailed very well and quite easy to understand and use. From what I have read from the manual, ... Read review

Advantages: No bugs, major crashes, fast and loads of fun!
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
