PC World Reviews

PC World is the United Kingdoms biggest retailer that specialise in selling computers or computer related products. PC World comes under the DSi Group of store chains, that also owns Currys and Dixons. Normally you can find a store near you as they are normally located on all big cities and towns. In Cardiff where I live, there is a large store ...

In 2007 I shopped at PC World and got my self a new Samsung laptop from here.Along with the laptop came a nice guarantee over 5 years and the service on that day was just excellent.Things did not turn out the way I expected though. The expensive 500 pound laptop ended up having problems and not working right in the space of just 3 short ...

When I bought my new laptop in December 2007, I also purchased the PC Performance Warranty. My laptop's screen cracked and as a result I phoned them up and they came and collected my laptop and was told that it would be fixed in 2 weeks time and yes! the laptop was back in 2 weeks time. But since the day I got it, I had problems with the new ...

I asked PCWorld in Bangor for their cheapest printer for my son to do his homework, which is mainly B/W . They recommended the Lexmark Z2390 printer that costs £ 29. I took it home and found out it there was no black cartridge just a colour one with black in it. I went back to found out where it was and was told it was optional ! As I would be wasting other colours by only using black out of a colour cartridge I went to buy a black cartridge.
The cost ... £ 25 !
I spoke to the manager a couple of days later who basically said " that`s the way it is ! "
So if you want to be ripped off by PC World by buying a cheap printer that needs expensive inks, then the Lexmark Z2390 is the one for you !

OK where do I start.... Now here's a bit of info PC World / Currys / the link and dixons are all part of the dixons group. I have had mixed dealings with all the above but the most annoying thing is when something goes wrong, either damaged on delivery or products developing a fault. e.g. an LCD TV with DVD player I bought ...

This store is home for everything you need relating to computers. I am reviewing the branch in Blackburn. Here in Blackburn the branch has got a huge space on the car park for customers wishing to come inside here. It is also open 7 days a week and you will find a lot of staff workers inside to ensure you get some speed service when coming ...

Perfectly Crass World Bought a new wireless printer with 'easy installation disc' and though it initially got a far as a test page the whole installation corrupted my computer software. I tried PC World blog who advised me to return the faulty machine but dealer said that it was a'software issue' and I needed to pay their tech guys £39 odd to ...

PC world sold me a laptop that they promised would do what I wanted it for, it did not. I took it back for an exchange that electrecuted me and am now (on my 3rd useless laptop. They are refusing a refund or and compensation for the many trips and phonecalls and am on the verge of filling in a money claim as Ive had enough. The labeling is ...

PC WORLD STORES PC world are the retail arm of DSG International group. They specialise in computing items but also sell, TVs, digital cameras, stationary and even office furniture. PC World stores are dotted around the country with stores often located in retail parks so many of them are as big as supermarkets. I have most frequently ...

Just to warn anyone you really should avoid PC World PC Performance agreements. I have had to send my laptop away for repair for the 3rd time within 6 months and it is currently still in their workshop. It has been with them for 4 weeks now and they have rang every Thursday for the last 3 weeks to tell me they are still waiting on a part. The ...

I purchased a desk top computer from PC world 1 year ago and have to say after sales service is total crap. When purchasing the computer i took out a PC performance agreement for peace of mind, which also is total crap. Every time you phone the tech guys with a basic problem they advise you to do either a system restore or system ...

PC WORLD IS RUBBISH. FINE WHEN THEY ARE TAKING YOUR MONEY OFF YOU. MY LAP TOP BOUGHT ON 10TH JULY FAILED ON 14TH FEBRUARY. TOOK IT BACK TO COVENTRY AND STOOD IN A QUEUE FOR OVER AN HOUR. THIS QUEUE WAS ALSO FOR RETURNS OF GOODS FOR REFUND. MY LAP TOP WAS DIAGNOSED AS HARD DRIVE FAILURE - JUST GO HOME AND RING A NUMBER AND IT WILL BE ...

A few weeks ago our laptop screen mysteriously broke (I'm blaming the cat) so after a call to my insurer a giftcard was on its way, fingers crossed it's not PC World vouchers they're sending however I was crushed to find the plastic rectangle of doom concealed within an envelope last tuesday. So after work we go down to PC work and make ...

I went in PC world and said (because I wanted a professional opinion) "my RAM doesn't work at stock speed and they tell me "the BIOS should auto detect and set everything up automatically". Uhummm I don't *u*ki*g think so! What a bunch of monkeys. So I go to forum and they confirm that a lot bios tweaks need to be made and they also say that the auto setting are wrong a lot of the time. The bottom line - PC World are a bunch of muppets and they don't know *uck all. Hey PC world, if you're listening, NOT EVERYTHING IS MONKEY PROOF YOU MUPPETS! Do some research and hire some decent staff!

PC World, for those of you who don't know, is one of britains largest chains of computer stores. It first opened in 1991 in Croydon and there are now over 160 stores across the UK and ROI. Whilst they're called 'PC World' they sell lots of other products including computer accessories and supplies (eg printers, data storage, software ...

The first thing that really annoyed me about going to PC World was that I didn't know where it was so wanted to ring them from my car to get directions. Nightmare! It's one of these automated, centralised services and the directions were only any good if you knew the places it said it was near to. In the end I found it by asking in another shop in ...

I bought my first computer from pc world around 8 years ago and never experienced any problems with the machine, it worked well did everything it should do and I took it in once a year to PC World to get a free annual health check that I received letters through the post to remind me of as I had purchased the insurances. I also bought ...

Hi. This is my first review and it comes as a response to reading other reviews about PC World. I am like a number of others an employee at this company and can't believe the generalization us customer advisors are stuck with. I see we are being labelled as having no knowledge on computers or anything to do with them. This is untrue 75% of the ...

Customer service for PC World is awful - I bought a laptop that developed a fault after 6 weeks, the tech guys had me doing system restores and a system recovery before admitting defeat and it was picked up by courier. They still have laptop 18 days later and i am the one that has had to chase it up. Some days i am told the part needed to fix laptop is in stock and other days i am told it is not !!! Will never buy from PC World again and would definitely not recommend

PC World, is, not surprisingly, a shop that sells a wide range of electronics and computer equipment. I say wide, but they don't always have what I want, or what I sometimes expect they'll have, so it becomes a bit of a guessing game sometimes. PC Worlds are usually found in large stores in retail parks, which can make getting to them a ...
