well you have been lucky,

Well you have been more than lucky, long may it continue but this not the case for most of us sadly.

Hi,

I'm realising just how lucky I've struck with PC World over here.  But, try 
telling most chains and/or smaller System Builders about a Screen Reader and 
see what happens.

My PC World actually let me install Window Eyes on one of their laptops in 
store!  I said I wanted to makesure the video card wasnt' going to bomb like it 
did on the one I'd just brought back. It wasn't any problem whatsoever.

Cheers,
Barry.

Agreed it would seem that now that this has been raised most of us have
had bad experiences with PC world.

Try and tell them about screen readers and see what happens.

Hello,

I am a new member to this group and I believe that PC world are not
that
helpful as I experienced that too. I felt that they did not know very
much about the products they were trying to sell you. So my husband
and
I went elsewhere.

The staff at PC world are little more than badly trained teenagers,
stay clear! as for the Zoo storm, apparently thay are pretty poor,
especially the build quality. Plus, they have dodgy chargers -
rubbish
keyboards.

The last time we tried to buy something from PC world we left after
the
security staff were extremely rude and objected to us physically
handling
the laptops on display. when we asked for the manager he told us
that
if we
want him we should find him ourselves. And i've heard their staff
aren't
exactly up to scratch on what their products do or are capable of.
but
that
just my experience.

Hi,

The thing to bare in mind is always after-sales-support. How do you
get the machine back to them? probably you paying, you finding a
large enough box, you making sure it's boxed securely and doesn't'
get damaged in transit. The company will ship it back to you in 1
to
2 working weeks.

I know the machines from these companies that deal exclusively
online
are very attractive with their specs but that's only one part of
the
"New computer hunt process".

Have you considered PC World? It's very very hard to beat their
specs, (if you shop around), especially when you combine that with
their after-sales-support. They'll either send an engineer to your
house, Parcel Force to pick the unit up, or if you live close
enough
you can offer to bring it to the Tech Guys in-store. The max
turn-around I've had for a Motherboard replacement on a Desktop was
3
days, from drop off to pick-up. My local PC World is very good at
support.

BTW. I would not buy components/peripherals from PC World as the
retail price is too high. I treat these like convenience items, in
say a local Spar.

Regards,
Barry.

 From what I've seen on Ebuyer etc, they produce a lot of machines
which don't have an OS pre-installed; this, in my opinion
substantially takes down the price of, so that you spend more on
the
component-side of things.
