    Good Points: Well I bought this laptop back in 1999, and it is still working in 2008! The original battery still last 1h30mins also!


    Bad Points: The USB port broke in the first year, and the screen backlight is intermittent. The casing is full of cracks from the stress of opening and closing the lid. The keyboard doesn't work on every keypress if you type lightly. The onboard battery is also dead.


    General comments: Basically upgraded to Windows XP as soon as it came out as ME is pants, the machine is quite slow, but hey 9 years use is amazing it still works, but then it did cost 1500 quid when purchased from dixons.

    Its a machine that has never inspired confidence in terms of build, but it has done the job, and its a bit of a love - hate relationship!! Don't think I would buy another advent though, when this one finally dies.

I can't take it anywhere as it is too heavy. The only good thing on it is Windows XP (got rid of Millenium that it came with as that was rubbish). Oh and by the way Advent make really bad compute ...

    The Advent 6413b computer I purchased from Dixons over 1 year ago has not worn well. Windows ME has a lot to be desired, not very user friendly and has consistent update problems. The computer itself is not very well made, the lid on the screen has cracked on the bottom left hand corner due to opening and shutting. The top of the lid is also showing stress marks where it is opened and closed and it probably won't be long until that also gives. The finish on the computer wears off, mostly where I ...

    I bought this laptop from PC World. As I was upgrading from a 133 processor and 16mb of memory this seems very quick with a 1ghz engine and loads of memory. The only problems have probably been of my own making as it has taken me a bit of time to get used to Windows Me having been using Win95. When I bought the machine it did not have the software installed that I had seen demonstrated in PC World and I felt that I had been cheated slightly. However PC World were very helpful and provided all th ...
