PC World Reviews

pc world is in my opinion a place for people with more money than sense to shop. The staff seem to know less about computers than they should and try to sell you the most expensive item they have on sale. Obviously they are a business trying to make money but i think when somebody is in a shop trying to buy a computer they should get the right ...  Read the complete review

My family have had a couple of dealings with PC world that have ended with us having a bad taste in our mouths. Once was DVD's we had bought them ona special offer but one of them refused to play on our DVD player, now we don't always live in the UK so next time we were back here we took it back to ask for a new DVD as a replacement. ...  Read the complete review

I often visit my local PC world store. I must say that the staff puzzle me somewhat somehow. I am there, as you do, looking around things, looking what I would like etc. and along comes some member of staff, offering help, most of the time I just say that I am ok for the moment and just looking, but a couple of weeks ago, I was asking about new ...  Read the complete review

I did an opinion on PC World a while back, and as it was one of my first opinions it was pretty lousy! As I feel strongly about PC World (god knows why, the staff there don't) I decided to change the opinion a bit. I have been using my local PC World since it first opened about three years ago. It is very large, brightly lit ...  Read the complete review

The best thing in the whole of the "shop" is THE EXIT!. GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!before some tiresome assistant tries to sell you someting that you don't really want and you will probably, no definately regret being talked into. The layout of the shop is good and the products (like games) that they sell aren't bad, but the ...  Read the complete review

I have had several experiences with PC World - all bad. The staff are generally very unhelpful, unless of course you are willing to take out an extended warranty, which they will go to absolutely any lengths to sell you. The full page adverts that you see in the national press fail to tell you that when you rush in (the very same day) to one of ...  Read the complete review

My experience of PC World was not one that I would wish on anyone else. Having decided not to buy from a mail order company (we later changed our minds) we trotted over to our local PCW where we were duly persuaded, with much grinning and promises of best service ever, to buy a PC, a scanner and a printer (though we knew enough not to go for one ...  Read the complete review

PC WORLD. Pathetic Computer world? Not quite. I have read many opinions on here, bad and good, and from people who used to work there. And, I agree, the salesmen genuinely are being honest. The problem is, management aren't. When I go in to look at PC's, I see computers that have components that haven't been made in ...  Read the complete review

I have worked at PCW off and on for about 3years now. Although it promotes itself as helpful and for the first time buyer, you will be lucky to find any help on the weekend unless you are queuing at the doors about 1/2 an hr before opening. some usefull tips !. never try to return something during the weekend you wil have at least a ...  Read the complete review

PC world, ready made computers at very expensive prices. Being someone who loves to keep up with the latest computer technology, I feel that PC world is the perfect place to go, there shelves are always stocked full of interesting items, and I can spend hours just browsing without even buying anything.(but thats the way it should be ...  Read the complete review

PC World is something of a mixed bag. Firstly, I would like to add that I very much like PC world as a store, and although my nearest store is about 40 miles from me, I don’t mind making the trip to get there if I require something urgently for a number of reasons. Firstly, if there is something you need desperately, and cannot wait ...  Read the complete review

PC World have to be one of the luckiest businesses in Britain at the moment. They get away with it because alot of their customers don't really know much about computers and so they think that PC World is the best option. I have lost count of the amount of times that I have gone their stores and have seen people bringing back their computers ...  Read the complete review

Well I've read through the majority of the comments on PC World, and although I agree with much of what has been said, there were a few things that saddened me slightly and which were perhaps a bit misinformed. You see, I used to work there, so I have a slightly unique perspective... First of all the salesmen, they often ...  Read the complete review

It seem to be a trend now in high street stores - employ young inexperienced staff who are unable to make decisions for themselves. And Pcworld take the top spot when it comes to making you wish you'd just not bothered leaving the house. I have lost count of the number of times i went into the store and came out empty handed simply because ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit that we were probably one of the last families to get into the modern era of technology! I am not very fond of "hype" and have made it my philosophy not to follow trends. I was determind not to give in, and wanted to make hubby and kids wait before we made a major purchase of a computor...I wish now that I had waited ...  Read the complete review

PC World is great for browsing around and their before sales service is wicked, they seem so nice and friendly, but it is afterwards that you realise what a cheeky little bugger they are. I bought a printer recently. I had problems with it when I bought it, so I rang up the manufacturer, who said, it needs a new Cable, so I bought a very ...  Read the complete review

PC World is probably the UK’s largest retail outlet for computer goods. They have a massive range of stock ranging from the simplest software up to some top of the range hardware but they also have many flaws that are inherent due to their business practice and ethics. Many people that know very little about computers regard PC ...  Read the complete review

PC World, the best computer shop ever! Massive choice, great sales staff. OK, stop screaming at me for being a madwoman and read my little story! I once worked for PC World, in their Lakeside store. It was fabulous. I was actually there on opening day (read on to find out what I was doing). The store was then privately owned by a ...  Read the complete review

Under normal circumstances I would say do not do it, as they are rubbish. But I had no choice, as I was desperate for a hard drive. The story is that hard drive started to play up. I kept trying to defrag it and scandisk it but it was having none of it. So I had to get a new hard disk other wise I had no machine. I need it the hard ...  Read the complete review

First up, I've never bought anything from PC World (I've always known that you can get the same, or better products cheaper elsewhere), but I have been in PC World with a few people who were looking for PC's and other computer equipment or software. One of the things I dislike most about PC World, since they started ...  Read the complete review
