Advent DT1308

A cheap, no-frills PC with some upgrade potential

The Advent DT1308 lags just a little behind the performance of the fastest machines at this price. And with no areas where it stands out, there’s less to recommend this PC over competing systems in the sub-£500 category.

I am extremely pleased that most units do not arrive in this condition, however I can say whoever gets it next gets a fully updated and running correctly item, however the badly placed USB ports and other items crowded together are why I have given it...

Very easy to set-up, did it in 15 minutes Great value, excellent processor for the price Great onboard HD graphics Good family computer, will work for most things straight out of the box

Cables inside the case are a bit of a mess wiring in the case makes it difficult to install a second hard drive/SSD relatively small amount of RAM is evident when doing high performance tasks

Quite, lots of memory, fast processor, good for gaming, quick and easy to set up, two usb3 ports, integrated card reader

No outlook express have to use windows live, will only read photos on memory stick once.

USB doesnt work

Great machine, very powerful and very easy to set up. Also very quiet - the whole reason I had to get rid of my old one was the terrible noise.

Nice design. Quiet. Powerful chip and good speed for the price.

The latest Microsoft "helpful" prompts are annoying, but that's Microsoft not Advent.

Seems to work well with few problems setting up.

Perhaps the software bundle could be better also no indication that you can install one of another two security bundles rather than Norton. Delivery was a disaster but that was nothing to do with you.

i5 core is great processor. However could have done with a better graphics card rather than the intels own, which reduces its overall rating.

the external case did not fit properly. Extremely poor workmanship, for a brand new product.
