PC World Reviews

Well 2 years ago I bought my PC from there. I paid extra for the healthcheck. Took it back for its first last year saying the problems that I had. All the salesperson did was patronise me about how much coffee stains I had on the keyboard (ok yeh valid point!). I told him about it not shutting down properly, freezing, etc. "Ok we'll look at it" ...  Read the complete review

A PC World has recently opened in my nearest town, King’s Lynn in Norfolk. Prior to this, the only computer stores were Time (in a section of “Powerhouse”) and Currys. Technically, until PC World had opened, there was very little in the way of completely specialised computer stores in the locality. Personally, I tend to buy ...  Read the complete review

1. Why do people still shop in PC world? I doubt they stock anything at all that you couldn't find cheaper online or in your local indepentdent retailer. 2. Why do PC world bundle computer packages together? I would have thought that an awful lot of people already have perfectly good scanners, printers, monitors etc and just want to ...  Read the complete review

The reason for the title is that upon reading through some of the other opinions on this store it seems pc world is a little bit like marmite you either love them or hate them. My personal experience of them is very good . I purchased a pc from them over 2 years ago and the saleman I dealt with was fairly knowledgeable and didnt talk ...  Read the complete review

As its name suggests this place has every thing you could possibly think of for a PC - but ask a few questions about the products (espically the PC) and your done for. I have had experienced the service which PC World offers - and i would say that this company doesnt offer a very effective service. Ive WARNED YOU! I bought a PC from a ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a regular customer of PC World, in fact I have only been in once myself, to get a replacement power cable for my laptop. After phoning in and checking they had one in stock, quoting the part number, etc., it turned out they didn't have any in, when I physically went to the shop. Needless to say I wasn't impressed, but the ...  Read the complete review

PC World is one store that I would NEVER recommend anyone to shop from or even bother going to. There is just so much wrong with this company that it is unbelievable that they can claim to offer a service to the public! The worst of it is that whenever I speak to anyone about their computer or hardware that they have, probably 80% will have ...  Read the complete review

Being in the IT industry and having been in several postions where the need to source a product is immediate, I have quite often found myself in PC World looking for peripherals, accessories, consumables and reference books. My opinion of PC World is that if you are looking for a new PC, Printer etc, then the way in which PC World buys in ...  Read the complete review

In the face of adversity, one holds ones head high, and sticks out that stiff upper lip, and proclaims “damn you, old chap” and leaves the premises vowing never to walk through their *&+|% doors again. This is NOT going to be an op singing the praises of PC WORLD, but I will be fair and give them an accurate trading ...  Read the complete review

It has been very interesting reading the various accounts of the experiences that people have had with dealing with PC World. This has been to a large part, rather negative, with particular criticism directed towards the 'hard sell' given to the expensive "Service Agreements" (Extended Warranties). To redress some of this ...  Read the complete review

My computer has been knocking on death’s door for quite some time now. I’ve had it for 7 years and although upgraded a few times, it really wasn’t up to the job any more. It was designed way before scanners, modems, and CD writers were commonplace in the market, and although it worked with most accessories, it was painfully ...  Read the complete review

The last computer I bought was from PC world and though it is a good computer for a good price I also bypassed the sales patter for them trying to sell me a warrenty (I bought the computer on-line). The delivery was good as they delivered it in the evening between 4pm and 9pm so that it gives someone a chance of being in (though of course ...  Read the complete review

It seems to me that PC World is the ideal place to visit if you are new to computers. Believe me its not, i have bought two computers over the last couple of years years. The first was from PC World. I felt it was the ideal place to go, with all of the cheesey adverts who could resist to go and have a look. As i went into the store I was ...  Read the complete review

OK It's official - I am impressed with the service at PC World! There I have said it! I admit that I did not expect to be impressed as I have read some awful reports about them but there it is - I am a satisfied customer! Let me tell you my story - I can tell you're all just dying to hear it aren't you? Well, you're going ...  Read the complete review

Where in the world? PC World may be the obvious answer but in my case it's piece of crap world. Why you may say? Well let me tell you. First of all, most of their prices are way too expensive. I have seen products in there that I have found three times cheaper elsewhere, from online retailers and mail order. The staff in ...  Read the complete review

From reading other opinions I know that some of you will disagree. PC World is one of the best computer suppliers around. I bought an Advent 8710 computer from my local PC World store and have not had a single problem in the 2 years I have had it. Though the Digital camera that came with the PC used up a lot of batteries, so we took it back to ...  Read the complete review

Thought that would make you read: Normally I buy all my computer stuff over the internet, it is cheaper and I don't even have to leave home. But when you're sitting there on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in desperate need of something the only choice is to resort to people who are 'Stamping down on Prices' makes me laugh ...  Read the complete review

I used to work in a computer shop and we had numerous customers who had been ripped off by High Street chains. 95% of the time, it was PC WORLD. Nothing they do, benefits the consumer. After-Sales is non-existant unless you buy into their packages and still the service is CRAP. The systems they sell are cheap rubbish that is out-of-date by the ...  Read the complete review

PC world is good at what it does best: Serving Jo Bloggs an overpriced computer related product. Now there is nothing wrong with this, as long at the long line of punters keep turning up to the stores and willing to pay over the odds for average products then fair play to them. PC world has many stores nationwide and they sell everything ...  Read the complete review

First of all I must say that I have been one of those people who have NEVER liked PC world, it's store layout or anything about it. that is until 2 months ago. My computer which was only outside it's year warranty packed up. I had no warranty and was worried as to how I was going to afford to have it repaired and up and ...  Read the complete review
