I am writing this reply on an Evesham computer, now 7 or 8 years old. It has had quite a few replacement parts on site replaced without quibble. All the dealings that I have had with the customer helpline have been very helpful, a huge difference to the other computer manufacturers with which I have had dealings. I was so impressed at the helpfulness of Evesham that I bought both my daughters Evesham laptops, delivery was annoyingly slow in one case but neither has had any problems. Unless things have changed radically in the last twelve months I would recommend them, based on my own experience and also in discussing the experiences of colleaguse in dealing with other manufacturers. I suppose the last time that I needed to ring the helpline for advice the man was a bit shirty but it was by then quite a few years out of warranty.

If your major achievement is whining like a girl what do you expect? To build a better country through whinging words that no longer exist when the power is pulled?
Realise and accept every company gets it wrong, only seriously serial offenders like Servis need to be avoided. And find a better use of your time.
