- Great machine, very powerful and very easy to set up. Also very quiet - the whole reason I had to get rid of my old one was the terrible noise.

- Good points:
- i5 core is great processor. However could have done with a better graphics card rather than the intels own, which reduces its overall rating.
- Bad points:
- the external case did not fit properly. Extremely poor workmanship, for a brand new product.

Nice design.
Quiet.
Powerful chip and good speed for the price. - Bad points:
- The latest Microsoft "helpful" prompts are annoying, but that's Microsoft not Advent.

- Good points:
- Seems to work well with few problems setting up.
- Bad points:
- Perhaps the software bundle could be better also no indication that you can install one of another two security bundles rather than Norton. Delivery was a disaster but that was nothing to do with you.

We searched for this product high and low,
from House of Fraser to Tesco,
no one is selling it, we're sorry to say,
not 403 retailers nor anyone on eBay,
but please don't worry even if it hurts,
you can look for alternatives or

Matt, Aberystwyth Keen gamer
Score 9.0/10Great value, excellent processor for the price
Great onboard HD graphics
Good family computer, will work for most things straight out of the box
wiring in the case makes it difficult to install a second hard drive/SSD
relatively small amount of RAM is evident when doing high performance tasks
