I'm thinking of buying a GX700 laptop. http://www.meshcomputers.com/Default...PAGE&USG=PRODU CT&ENT=PRODUCT&KEY=226530 All the best, Roger Pearse Well, I had always come across bad reports of them but these were all hearsay, I had no personal experience of them. I did find a newsgroup where the pros outweighed the cons so I reckoned they can't be as bad as I had heard. On that basis I decided to buy an Elite Premiers Pro desktop. I was able to configure it online to the spec and price I could afford (obviously based on the component options available). It looked to me to be a good buy on the whole. I also went for 1 year on site service on the basis that any faults ought to manifest themselves in the first year and after that I could handle it myself. I took delivery of the system on 1st June. It was well packed, all the parts were there apart from bits & bobs to do with the TV Tuner which were quickly sent to me. No damage, apart from a very minor cosmetic scratch on the front cover, no problem I did find that the flat screen monitor didn't work in DVI mode at all but 2 or 3 phone calls got me to the maker who swapped out the monitor which has been fine since. The only other problem I've had is that the fan on the GeForce card became noisy. The card was replaced on site. Since I bought the system I discovered that Mesh now have a Users Group forum where you can post queries about your system. I have found this to be very good as Mesh moderators are excellent with their handling of all sorts of queries. I would say if you had any problems that is the place to ask rather than the normal help desk phone staff. Mesh, like a lot of builders, provide the OS on a recovery disk/partition so any major rebuild means all the junk (trial) software gets bunged onto your system again which means you'll need to clean it out again! I got round this by buying XP Pro (I didn't really want Vista, another story, and reformatting, creating partitions to my liking. I discovered (too late) that there was no driver disk supplied, so I had no drivers after the format! No matter, Mesh supplied me with a disk and URL's to whatever I needed. There is no manual as such. It comes with a large poster size sheet giving connection details but nothing else, not a big problem. So, am I happy? Yes. Would I buy from Mesh again? Yes. Would I recommend them? Yes I would. After 4 months use, the system has worked fine, the build was neat and tidy, I got what I asked for so I am very pleased. HTH -- bertieboy |
