lol @ PC World / Tech Guys

[mike475]

well, when my sister's laptop needed servicing and it had to be sent in, i just knew something was gonna go wrong.

It needed a new hard drive, and i got it back today (5 days) and the n00b fitted it with an advent HD and the laptop is really an ei systems, so now the laptop has like media center and a weird XP skin, double space compared to last time.. and the computer all together think's its now manufactured by advent :D

[jesus]

...is that a good thing?

[mike475]

i dno tbh, the hard drive is now 100gb compared to 40gb, and it seems more 'modern', and i beleive advent is far better then ei systems, so were see :P

i lol'd so hard when it said 'thanks for purchasing this ADVENT laptop'

[cocaine]

you say it went wrong.. how is this? :S

[dirrty]

but thats a good thing?

im confused :S
what exactly is the point to this thread?

[jesus]

Your aware the hdd has abouslty no baring on any of that, nether companys make there own hdds, and at best you'll get a bit of branding stuck to em. other than that and hdd's and hdd.
Sounds more like you got your o/s reinstalled with the wrong companys setup disks, so got the wrong set of crapware and branding.

[Yoshimitsui]

Hmm, that thing called a mistake maybe?

And what is your obsession with the word noob??

[Warezkid2]

I hate advent or w.e,


i rather use a well known brand, other then the one you got lol.

but yeh, i rather let a bloody rat fix my pc rather then PC world ;/

Ive always quite liked advernt, there really the only make you can get a decent price on through PC world. if you buy from other retails i suppose its dosnt make much odds, but with pc world imparticar thuew a load of deals advent pcs have next to no markup on them, so tend to be better buys. The downside is you'll often have the sakes people religiously trying to talk to you in buying a load of insurence and after sale packages.

I'm clueless but I was thinking the same thing. Just because you have an advent HDD doesn't change the way it works as in interface. So it's probably not the best idea to be calling them noobs. Probably know 100x more than you'll ever know about a PC.

Well, maybe there are 2 or 3 people hidden away in the back who do, but as a whole pc world employees are just clueless sales people. You'll notice if you ever ask em a question they will in almost all cases need to go grab a manager or one of the techs kept in the back. Computer literacy isn't a requirement of the job. :p

goes to show Tech Guys aren't all top notch, at least the guy putting more ram in my mums comp new what he was doing.

[Infrontation]

The tech guys aren't complete idiots though. There probably smarter than you think, just given dodgy training in how to make computers work with idiotic parts that shouldn't really go there but will work :D
