Evetech Review - Damaged Goods and Pathetic After Sales Service

On the 6th of November 2018, I ordered a MSI GP73 8re notebook for R22,798 from Evetech. Before the item was dispatched, I enquired whether I would be able to upgrade the primary hard disk myself without voiding the warranty (I have been building and repairing PC's, notebooks and network...

Your buyer recent experience with evetech.co.za

Have you had a recent buyer experience with evetech.co.za? I'm in the market for a new laptop. I'm a little cautious about a big spend without solid buyer references. My review searches come up with posts that date back to 2013 - 2014. At the time these were rather unflattering.

Evetech disaster. Don't ever buy from them.

Bought graphics card from them that conked out 4 weeks later. They've had it now 'at the supplier' for nearly 4 weeks but can't give me cause and proposed resolution, or a date. I've mailed, called, been to the shop, no movement. A technician offered a refund which I accepted, his manager now...

Is Evetech reliable and trustworthy

Beware of Evetech

They have a crap reputation for a reason: http://carbonite.co.za/showthread.php?t=167101 In a nutshell. Bought two 1050ti graphics cards from them. Rocket League game was advertised as included. After I paid, received my goods, the store only provided one game code and not two.

PSA: Evetech... Stay far away!

So, I checked the threads on here about them before buying but, like the idiot I am, I ignored all the warnings and went and bought a gaming laptop from them anyway. So, as the good citizen I am, I am doing a public service announcement and warning you guys to keep your business from these...

Been watching so many reviews, opinions etc on Intel vs AMD this past month. One thing that comes up over and over is the intel 10700k vs Ryzen 7 3700X, the price difference vs performance puts AMD at better bang for buck. Ontop of which the new AMD motherboards have PCie V4 which intel do not. And further to that, AMD will have their unveiling of the Zen 3 Ryzen 4000 chips on the 8th of October.

why not wait a bit on that build, see what's coming...

As to where to buy, personally I have used Wootware many times ... no issues there.

Edit: One more thing, will this be a gaming PC? if so, then I would save money on the the CPU and definitely get a better GPU. Hell, with the GPU wars going on at the moment with the new 3000 series announcement from nVidia, I would hang on and buy a great condition 2nd hand 2000 series GPU or even wait for the AMD 6000 specs before laying out cash... Personally waiting for about next Feb to upgrade, once all the initial hype has died down and benchmarks are readily available.

Stay away from Evetech.

That looks like an Evetech upgrade kit. Don't do it. There are compromises in there.

Stay away from Evetech.

Hold on until October to see what the new Ryzen looks like. At the very least, the third-gen Ryzen prices should go down a bit. And yes, cost-performance on Ryzen is way better than Intel at his stage.

Stay away from Evetech.

Don't buy the 1660 Super. Wait until the RTX 3000 lands, and pick up a second-hand RTX 2000, or even a GTX 1080.

Stay away from Evetech.

You should be able to get 16GB DDR4 3600 MHz RAM. Wootware currently has the G.Skill on special.

Stay away from Evetech.

Look at Wootware, Titan-Ice or Dreamwaretech.

Stay away from Evetech.

You forgot to mention that the OP should probably stay away from Evetech.

@Codyalan1 what case are you looking at getting, or will this be an open build?

I was worried my hints might have been too subtle...
