    Good Points: Very fast, very reliable.

    Bad Points: System builders and programmers have needed an operating system installation disk with this laptop! For me personally it went wrong once I messed around with settings a little too much in my opinion. Quite a heavy laptop for collage students as far as I am concerned.

    General comments: Quite good for gaming and good for programmers, a little heavy for collage students in my opinion, and the power lead splits after a year of carrying it round in a laptop bag, apart for this its a very all round good laptop for the price. Well recommend this Acer 7111 laptop.

    Seems pc world knew they were using a faulty batch of motherboards, in my opinion anyway, all advent 7111 sold at Christmas 2006 have been breaking down with the same problem as far as I am aware. Pc world denies all knowledge of this problem though in my opinion, many customers are joining forces to raise a public suit against pc world. Therefore I do not recommend the Advent 7111

    The Advent 7111 is a very good laptop! I had it more than 1 year (I gave it to my girlfriend), now I bought Sony Vaio VGN-aer51e and I can say Advent was better.

    As of today I had a problem of being unable to reactivate my Advent 7111 after long hibernation. Turned it off by holding down on/off button. On restarts kept asking whether to continue start or delete restore files and restart? Chose continue start option 3 or 4 times to no avail - just continued to show original message again and again. Finally in desperation selected 'delete restore files and restart' which it did. Would not then shut-down. Selected System Restore from 2 days previously and n ...

    I got this laptop as a present. Thought it was really good. Within the first week it crashed so I took it to PC World. They did a "system recovery" it worked again for a week then crashed again. So I took it back and they did another "system recovery". Yay! It worked again. Another week later it crashed. I was angry at this point so I rang the tech guys. They picked it up, when I finally got it back after a whole month and 2 weeks it was working slower than it was before so I though "Oh well, it ...

    The tech guys are also slow in getting parts, they've had the laptop a month now saying they are waiting on parts.

    Well, I got my Advent 7111 for Christmas 2007. It probably wouldn't have been my first choice for a laptop, but, so far I'm very please with it. Two draw back's to it 1) Windows XP media. Just 3 days after Christmas it was BSODing about 3 times a day and no restore were included. Apparently you have to call Tech Support and wait 28 days to get them!. So I got rid of XP and installed PC Linux OS. Installed first time and had a full working desktop in 30 min. As yet no crashing!!! 2)The PCI s ...

    The Advent 7111 laptop is very good, apart from the sound quality. You will need to connect it to additional speakers.

    As an IT pro I was reluctant to purchase this brand but I needed a cheap laptop for my eldest son urgently and after deliberating long and hard decided that I couldn't do better for the price. My suspicions were proved correct quite early on when it started to BSOD regularly. So we rebuilt it "Twice". It subsequently began to die regularly and failed to boot. After some further testing we found a very unstable memory chip. Regrettably the laptop was now 30 days old just 2 days over the PCWORLD ...

    The Advent 7111 is very good but I would like to know how to use all the different programs and so could really do with getting my hands on another disk.

    I rarely praise a system, believing you can do better, and you probably could with this system, but for under £500, I doubt it. This is a fast loading system, which was easy to use. Although I am proficient in most things IT already, this system was up and running in under 5 minutes, and connected to the net within 10, using Wifi. The only complaint I had was the pressure PC World put on to buy their insurance, and also to buy Norton Security from them. I am on a LAN, so I didn't need ...

    Overall, the Advent 7111 laptop is an excellent package for a sub-£500 notebook (price at PC World). I've been buying Advent for a few years now, and once again I'm impressed. This machine does everything I want, and the wireless connectivity is excellent. Another 'Burn-it-yourself' when it comes to backup / re-installation media, and I did have a couple of problems with the software initially, but the support website quickly had me sorted (though I had to use the 7109 model page as t ...
