The graphics chip on the motherboard has failed an ...

    This Advent 5401 is a piece of junk. The battery life on it is pathetic and after owning it for only 13 months it just died! PC world were useless - their attitude it: thats technology for you! which is unacceptable. Had it checked out by professionals only to find out that the Motherboard has pac ...

    After 13 months of easy use the grahpics failed on my Advent 5401 leaving a completely dead laptop. PC World's (the supplier) only comment to me was ' thats modern technology for you' and refusal to do anything about it.
    So I would definitely think twice before purchasing this machine.

I love it, my ADVENT 5401. Lovely feel to touch pad com ...

    Good laptop for those who do not just want it as a typewriter or internet browser, it is a good all round media laptop and very good value for money.
