Do Not Buy This PC
Review of Advent e.Go by
Phattyd
Advantages: Small
Disadvantages: Laggy, Slow, Doesn't Configure to external software,
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 ...

REALLY REALLY CHEAP
Review of Emachines eTower 566 by
Martin.rowley
Advantages: It was cheap
Disadvantages: It feels cheap
As the title of my opinion suggests, this computer package is really, really cheap.
Not just in terms of how much my hard earned cash I had to part with to buy it, but in general build quality and specification.
Some years ago, when even my old 133Mhz computer was the best thing ever I got into a bit of trouble, lets just say I upset the wife by talking to too many strange women on the internet.
That was the final straw and I woke up to some really ... ...wrecked, it was lying in bits and no tube of superglue was going to fix it this time :0(
But after several hours of difficult surgery I had it running again.
But that wasnt the end of it, it had to go, the wife was getting more and more annoyed with me and I had to sell it!!
So how come I am here now, writing this opinion and generaly surfing about on the net?
She gave in, after 2 weeks of seeing me depressed, and getting internet cold turkey ...

WARNING: DO NOT BUY FROM MESH
Review of Mesh Matrix XP 1800+ by
sparky_05084
Advantages: Competitive prices, Good components & Stylish systems
Disadvantages: Their after sales support is SHIT
...your money and go elsewhere, mesh will rob you blind!!
I bought a brand new gaming PC in august 2006. The sales rep I dealt with seemed very helpful and put together a very competitive deal. They even beat Dell's offer on the same spec system by adding 2 graphics cards for the price of one.
When the PC arived two weeks later as promised I was very excited as this was my first PC. I must say my initial reaction was unreal as this PC looked awsome. ... ...refunded as I got in touch with the courts and i threatend them. BE WARNED, DO NOT DISCOUNT THIS REVIEW I SWEAR IF YOU BUY FROM MESH YOU WILL REGRET IT.
Take off the H from MESH add an S and what do you get A GR8 BIG BLOODY MESS! ...

iMac Core 2 Due 20" TFT
Review of Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 20" TFT by
autonick
Advantages: Screen, Webcam, amazing processer speed
Disadvantages: With mine the Wifi can sometimes be an issue
...I bought it from the Apple store in London, where I must say the customer service is amazing and the staff had an answer to all my questions!
Before this Imac I had an Ibook G4 which was the best thing since sliced bread, thats what made me want one of these.
The IMac is all an all in one computer, all the bits are in the screen with only the keyboard and mouse separate. This makes it great for people with not so much space.
This computer is very ... ...round, the whole unit is a sort of brushed aluminum colour and my favorite bit is the small brushed aluminum keyboard, which has nice sized buttons and a nice feel to it (ie not big and chunky keys)
The IMac loads up in no time, unlike a Windows machine and within less than say 30 seconds you are ready to go.
The screen is Massive, bright and very clear, and the graphics can easily handle online TV and gaming, I use mine to play World of Warcraft ...

ibm does good again
Review of Lenovo ThinkCentre M55 8795 - Pentium D 925 3 GHz by
atytyut2434
Advantages: ibms past record
Disadvantages: poor choice of graphics port
I've got one of these, in fact I'm writing this review on it right now. I bought it at my local auctions 2 years ago & I'm still getting great use out of it. It looks sleek with its all black case, keyboard & mouse.
It's really easy to do upgrades on as it requires no tools to open the case or remove any parts. I upgraded the dvd-rom in mine to a rewriter & it took minutes to do & was as quick to get running & burning with.
It might not have a ... ...games pretty well. I've been able to play both Quake 4 & Half Life 2 at fairly decent speeds.
The port to fit a graphics card is a slightly annoying issue as it's intended for a standard PCI card & I was expecting to find an AGP port but I guess thats the price you pay for buying what was only ever intended to be a business machine. On-board sound is very good, the 1gb of RAM that comes as standard is more than enough for what I use it for.
It ...
