“Great little worker”

★★★★★

written by RyleeYoung on 14/05/2014

I've been running my 8111 for 4-5 years now and it just gets better. I have upgraded the RAM and the CPU, which is still only a duo core but lightning fast. I'm dual booting with Windows and Linux, Linux is exceptionally fast on this machine and light, typically using 15% and under of RAM. Now I have all my files in the cloud there's plenty of storage even on the original 60gig HD (linux liited to 30gig). Upgrades next will be the graphics and sound card, which are very affordable. No problems for my machine with overheating, because it runs so light. I need to replace the battery again, but they're only £15.

★★★★★

I bought this Advent 8111 laptop several years ago with XP on I took advantage of the vista upgrade which worked causing none of the issues other people were reporting loading fast and extremely stable. To be fair I upgraded the ram to 2gig and have now upgraded the hard drive to 250gig. Now in dual boot mode with XP and windows 7 this machine continues to deliver without fail doing everything its asked to do. One of the best buys I ever made!

★★☆☆☆

At beginning it is a good fast laptop. It loses connectivity to wireless broadband very easily and does overheat very easily. Poor graphics for any sort of games other than solitaire. Advent 8111 is ok for basics but long term it struggles.

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 17/11/2008

Bought this Advent 8111 laptop 2 year ago. Wireless connection failed, had to have a replacement mother board. Since then the power connection is now loose and gets an intermittant connection and the wirelass keeps loosing connection. I have to uninstall and reinstall the wireless network adapter hardware to get it working again. Graphics poor for any games other than spider solitaire.

★★★★☆

written by on 29/08/2008

Strong, quick. Little slow to start pop ups at begining, pointer touch pad so sensitive left click gets pressed when you just want to move the pointer around the screen. Bad points are only minor and are far outweighted by the good, well recommend Advent 8111 laptop.

★★★★★

written by jimthepcexpert on 30/12/2006

The Advent 8111 is an absolute bargain - £500 with dual core and a gig of ram - can't complain! Loads up and is ready to surf the Internet in 5 minutes tops. For a student after a cheap laptop then this is perfect. Media centre is also excellent.
