    Bad Points: Very slight screen problem, (I just wiggle lid once or twice) and all fine, screen never failed.


    General comments: All good, my first laptop, must be seven years old and still working well. Hi Grade also have been great the only two times Ive needed them.
    Great and would buy Advent (Hi Grade) again, as I intend to.

    I've had the Advent 6412DVD laptop for 2 or 3 years now and it is beginning to show its age. I use it daily and the keyboard and stood up well. It's a comfy and firm keyboard and key actions are positive.
    As I said it's getting slow - it runs Win XP now, and I've added more memory but there are still some times that it's slow.
    The only problem I've had is the screen. It flickers and the light goes off on occasion - I think that the automatic off switch is dodgy. A few movements of the screen ...

PC Service Call were much better, and I got advice on a battery/power supply problem I was having, wh ...

    Several 'repairs' under extended warrenty via PCWorld. Thank goodness I took out the 5 years extended cover. No problems for first year at all.

Next problem was a display f ...
