Has anyone else noticed this?

I get emails from PC PRO as any good nerd should

The ones I've received today, to two separate email accounts on different machines (this doesn't matter but people are obsessed with details

) and when you click on the mail it wants to log in to a secure server at cms.pcpro.denint.co.uk at DI Preview server.

I think they did something wrong

I didn't notice, Niall. I tend to scan them and bin them in the main.

Niall · Sep 24, 2009, 19:10:09

But you have to have them so you can see the latest A list, and wonder who paid them for some of the bad reviews

I gave up on PC-Pro when it was still busy championing Evesham.

Eve-who?

To be fair, they had some decent PCs. I think my last laptop was from them.

Can't remember from Adam, Seb.

They did, and I had several machines from them, but towards then end their service was rubbish.

Ah yes, I remember them being torn to bits in the online world regarding that. Didn't Time buy them out, then welch on the contracts?

Rik · Sep 26, 2009, 10:42:38

Yup.

It's all coming flooding back now

I remember that the laptop I had, did have such a warranty but it expired 3 months before all that happened. Ironically I gave the laptop to my dad when I upgraded. Somehow the PSU on it popped after he had it for about 3 months and fried it. I never had a single issue with it, so I can't help wondering what the hell he did

The laptop I had from them went through three motherboards and two batteries within the warranty period, though they considered the batteries a consumable so didn't cover them. I've never had a battery problem with a machine since and remain convinced that the failures were related to the mobo issues.

Evesham ? I think I nearly bought one from Woolies but decided against it

I never realised that PC Pro was a nerd's magazine.

Niall · Sep 28, 2009, 20:51:40

Well it isn't really, but it is when you use it to compare against other information
