General Comments on Computer Companies and Retailers Reviews

If you have a PC make sure you let Volts UK in Bletchley, milton Keynes look after you. I have a HP PC unit brought from PC world, it was getting slow so decided to go into PC world to have it upgraded. Well after about 2 weeks they still had not got to it so I decided to pay them a visit, what can I say I have not heard so much rubbish in all my ...

mesh computers - Advantages: none - Disadvantages: plenty

What follows, is a shortened version of what happened to me, when I bought a PC from Tiny Computers. They are now bankrupt but bought out by Time computers. Time have a similar reputation to that of the one Tiny was known by, but I have no personal experience of them, so cannot draw a conclusion fairly. The reason I am putting this op in ...

Looking for a new base unit? Upgrade your old system? Surfed the web till you perspired (or should that be expired?) Then aim your browser towards www.Newlogic.co.uk. The range of upgrade products for upgrades and beyond are comprehensive and reasonably priced. I required to upgrade an old Packard bell and decided on a new base unit. ...

If you ever have a computer problem DONT go to volts, a small computer shop in the buckinghamshire town of bletchley. Instead why not have a go at fixing it yourself or perhaps visit your local con artist and see what he can do. These options would be alot better for you and your computer. I first encountered the "miracle" that is ...

I've recently bought a new PC; not because I really had to but my Mum had started to complain about the useablity of the last hand-me-down I gave her (it was a 486/33 right enough). So the last time I was visiting for the week, I gave in to her persistent ear-bashing and picked up the latest magazine which had a review of PCs around the ...

When buying a shiny new computer, everyone will remember to look at the price and to find out which gadgets it has. However, if like me you are buying on a tight budget, you may choose to purchse a refurbished or second hand machine, in which case, there are some other big questions you need to ask. Thinking about these points won't do any ...

With the advent of the internet and secure shopping, the general public now has a wider range of retailer to buy their goods from. Having read a lot of opinions in Dooyoo about computer retailers, I’ve decided to pitch in my tuppence worth to see what happens. Like any business genre, computer retailers have good and bad vendors. ...

When you find the PC retailer turns into an isurance salesman. If I want insurance I'll go to a broker- right? SO Last year I was buying a PC to replace the ancient Mac I had. I wanted to get it in time for Xmas and I had to wait til I got my bonus on the 20th to get it. SO time was short and that limited my options. So I ended up ...

Horror with Dixons After I had decided to buy a new PC I did some research and concluded – how wrong I was to be – that I would get the best package at Dixons, taking into consideration what I needed, the value for money, and after-sales care. I got the PC delivered and shortly after I set it up, switched it on ...

After having my computer for about a year disaster struck as the ink ran out in the printer in the middle of an important piece of work. There was nothing for it but to rush to the nearest computer shop and buy a new inkjet cartridge. I was surprised and horrified to be charged £29.99 for a black ink cartridge. With my colour cartridge also ...

A word of warning if you come across a PC retailer called Quantex Microcomputers of Stevenage - do not purchase a PC from them. I ordered a PC last year from them on a standard 10-day delivery - the PC never arrived. After weeks of phoning (and engaged customer phone line), they kept giving delivery dates and letting me down. 6 weeks ...

...and we didn't even get a snog!I can feel the blood pressure rising in my body,the veins bulging at my temples as I turn slightly green,recalling mine and missy Claires recent dealings with a branch of Tempo in London.Buying the computer, an Aries,was as easy as buying a pint of lager,we'll take that one,there you go ,enjoy and thank you ...

There is a huge market for buying computers. But it can be very confusing about what processor to get, how much RAM (memory) to get etc. What company should you choose? I would either go for Dell or Gateway. They are companies with histories and even though they may be more expensive then some of their rivals they are still the tops! Tiny and Time ...

About three months ago I purchased a new PC, from a local family run business. I happily purchased a PIII 733mhz with 128mb RAM, 20GB hard drive, GeForce 256 graphics card, Soundbalster 1024 live soundcard, 17” Monitor and surround sound Teac speakers. The company I found was recommended by a friend they are VALIANT COMPUTERS in ...

You are always going to get customers who are happy and others who are not in retail. Some never have problems and never need to ask for help or advice…but others do, and I feel the big companies suffer from not being able to give personal service. I've been there. I worked as a PC salesman for a large well known company - and ...

Back in August 2000 I ordered a Phoenix Specification PC from this company, believing it to be a good package for the price they offered. An 800mhz Pentium III processor, DVD-ROM drive, 128Mb of RAM and 20Gb of hard drive space for under £500 (excluding VAT, £627.45 including VAT) looked to be a steal. I wont go into too many more details ...

We went to many shops before buying the computer but, in the end, plumped for Dixons: helpful staff and good prices being the main reasons for our decisions. The problems started almost instantly: yes, the computer we bought was in the brochure but they couldn't actually sell it yet! We decided to wait (4 days instead of the normal ...

I recently purchased a Daewoo PC from PC World. It came with scanner, printer and modem. All the software was preloaded (Win98) and there were no discs with it. The modem wouldn't work and I couldn't determine which specific one was installed. I discovered that the system was missing some modem drivers so I phoned Daewoo customer ...

I purchased my first personal computer in 1999 and as I knew nothing personally about them I asked my friend to accompany me around the shops looking at various models. I asked my friend how much a decent set up would cost me and he said approx. £400. The journey took us to various shops and we discovered that a lot of the set ups were too ...
