Advent was the very first laptop I owned. Complete and utter bullshit. Poorly made, cheap build quality and awful design. Mine was meant to be a high spec one but broke after a year. NEVER again. They are cheap for a reason.

they're cheap for a reason (don't have one, won't ever). Buy cheap, buy twice. I know someone who has one. Crashes/overheats/mistypes/takes hours to react. takes hours to power up and shut down.

Out of all the laptops we sell, advents always seem to find they're way back to the shop...

Advents are cheap PC World crap, avoid them. Better off getting a quality brand like Lenovo which you know will last for years
