Evesham Technology

I have purposely waited for a few months to write my opinion of this new PC, to get a feel for the features, and also comment on the services provided by Evesham. I purchased my new PC, a 1.33 GHz Athlon with 256 MB ram, 19 inch monitor, CDR drive, Dolby Surround speakers and 60 GB hard drive, back in June. I ordered the system online to replace my ageing 450 MHz Pentium II Advent machine. I’d purchased that from PC World without doing a great deal of research on the subject. Whilst I was always fairly happy with this machine, it had become apparent soon after buying it that I could have done ... more

Many good opinions have been given about Evesham as an PC retailer, but I wanted to be first to offer an opinion specifically on their web presence. My experiences with Evesham began when I bought my first PC back in 1994. My friend and next-door-neighbour already had a PC from Evesham and, at the time, they offered great value for money with their extensive range of PC's. If I remember correctly, I ordered my first PC over the telephone. Since I never once had a problem with the first PC I bought from Evesham I suppose it counted in their favour when I was looking for a replacement early last ... more

About 20 months ago, I decided my old Packard-Bell PC was struggling to cope with the software I had installed on it, particularly with the demands of digital photo and video editing, and resigned myself to the need to part with more hard-earned on a new PC. My first thoughts were to go for a Dell PC as we used them at work, and they seemed to be aggressively targeting the home user. However, at this time, Dell had just reduced their inclusive warranty from three years to one year, and their pricing was not so competitive if you didn’t want one of their promotional packages. So I began ... more

Taking the plunge, dragging yourself kicking and screaming into the 21st Century, and buying your very first PC can be a very daunting experience as I found out. Some 6 months prior to making the purchase I bought and read from cover to cover various PC Magazines in order to familiarise myself with as many of the various terms and abbreviations as I could. This was one purchase I was determined not to be bullied into making by patronising sales staff who detect that I don't know what I am talking about. So, armed with my new found knowledge and knowing my RAM from my Gigabyte I whittled my ... more

In late September of last year (2002) I purchased an Evesham Voyager 5614 laptop from Evesham.com in Swansea (now relocated to the Evesham Microstore shop opposite the Grand Theatre). When considering which PC I was going to buy for university, there were a number of considerations. Chief amongst these were speed, size and price. I visited all the major PC retailers in my area, and online, and eventually decided that a laptop was my best bet, as it allowed portability (if I need to take it to lectures, the library etc) and the gap between desktop and laptop speed and spec is now so small as to ... more
