PC World has today announced the launch of new Intel® Remote Assist Technology, available exclusively on its latest range of Advent PCs, including the massive spec Advent QC6003 and Advent QC8003. Called TechGuys Remote Assist, the new service is only available at PC World stores across the UK and online at www.pcworld.co.uk

The 19? Advent QC6003, (£579.99), has a really remarkable spec with a great range of features, powered by a Q8200 Intel® Quad Core processor. This impressive PC will happily run multiple applications seamlessly. The unit packs in a massive 6GB RAM, a colossal 640GB hard drive and stunning Intel® GMA X4500HD graphics.

The 22? Advent QC8003, (£899.99), has a massive 8 GB Ram, powered by Q8200 Intel® Quad Core processor, 1TB hard drive and Nvidia 9600 GT 512MB graphics card for high end gaming. It also comes with a Blu-ray combo for watching HD quality DVDs.

Not only are these great, high spec PCs but they both come with The TechGuys Remote Assist, using Intel® Remote PC Assist Technology, available to consumers for the first time.

Using this technology, The TechGuys can remotely diagnose, and in many cases fix, common PC problems. This brand new service is a great way to get a PC fixed as quickly and efficiently as possible and is provided free for the first year.
