The advent laptop is very noisy and the battery life deteriorated within 6 months of buying it. My advent laptop is only 14 months old and the battery cannot last more than 5 minutes without plugging it onto power.

it is really a bad laptop for the amount of money i paid! the keyboard has sticky keys - basically the words trail my typing on the pad.
the battery charger conked off and i can't find the battery for this anywhere! what do i do???
what i liked was compactness but even that is absolutely worthless if the laptop doesn't work without the power chord...

I have had nothing but problems. PC World were particularly useless when trying to obtain refund as I was outside 28 days. In fact it was on the 28th working day that I reported the faults - the latest being that it froze when entering start-up password.
If you want minimal problems shop elsewhere and spend your money on something that works. Shame I'm going abroad without the product that cost £400 to keep in touch with my wife and kids.

Thought it was a bargain small laptop - good spec. accept build quality would not be as good as mainstream brands - but hugely disappointed when powered it on. Fan noise ridiculous, on all the time - would not be able to use it as such, especially with the in built mic. near the fan - Skype would be pointless.
Straight back to PCworld for refund (reluctantly on their part) - but I convinced them it wasn;t fit for purpose.
Shame.
