Tiny Computers Reviews

Let me introduce you to my Tiny baby, George, the most powerful computer system I have owned, and at the time of purchase (about 5 months ago) just about the most powerful computer you could buy for under a thousand pounds. Now I can't tell you much about expandability, as I have never opened the case up, but I can you about the specifications and ...  Read the complete review

Watch out their still about!!! - Advantages: Low cost, Good specifications - Disadvantages: warranty is worthless., helpline costs a packet., They will change their name and leave you hi and dry.

I had this silly notion that I would buy a PC as my laptop was lovely but not sufficiently robust to run all the applications I wanted to use. I noticed a new computer store, The Computer World, and went in, took a brochure home, looked over various prices and systems and settled on a model I felt was sufficient. It was a Tiny Home Studio ...  Read the complete review

I’ve had my tiny PC since Christmas of 01 and up until recently I haven’t had any problems with it. This was, however up until about a month ago when it crashed and refused to come back on. It was a normal sunny day and I was writing away on dooyoo on one op or the other when all of a sudden Microsoft Windows ME decided to ...  Read the complete review

Tiny and Time... avoid them like the plague, quite frankly. I bought my old computer from them about a year and a half ago, an Athlon 1.2GHz system, 40GB HD, DVD-ROM, TNT2 card for around £1100. Which was actually quite a good price, considering that the Athlon 1.2 was the fastest chip about at the time... After about 8 months, the ...  Read the complete review

Tiny Computers have been going for a while (up untill recently that is). They are renouned for their poor after sales service. They seem to snatch your money from you as soon as possible, but once they have it, they don't seem to care anymore. Now they have been brought by Time, and have become Computer World (which, understandably PC ...  Read the complete review

As most people now know Tiny Computers went into recievership. Time Computers Brought the name but have been known to say that they class the existing warranties a liability. This isnt much help to the people that brought a Tiny PC with extended Warranty. If you purchased a Tiny Computer with extended warranty and its still in warranty Time ...  Read the complete review

Knowing nothing about PC's I went to a Tiny Store in York I bought a Tiny computer (about three years ago) It was about seventeen hundred pounds, with a scanner, printer digital camera, and a hundred pounds worth of software, so they said anyway. The salesperson tried all the techniques, flirting, joking, and generally quite obvoius. ...  Read the complete review

Never buy from Tiny - Advantages: none - Disadvantages: bad products, terrible service, total lemon

Tiny has taken a fall for the worst. When their computers first hit our shelves in the autumn of 1999, people flocked to buy what looked like a great company which showed a lot of potential. These people were wrong! Tiny computer systems are appalling. They have repeatable crashes and when asked for repair they say it will be back in a few days ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Tiny PC in April 2000. I didn't really know a lot about current PCs so I paid £1200 for a PIII 733mHz with a pretty high spec, colour printer, scanner, game pad, desk & chair. Not a bad price for all that... or is it? It also claimed to have something like £2000 worth of software. The shop doesn't keep stock, ...  Read the complete review

I don?t have a lot of time to myself, nevermind time to go out shopping. So when I decided it was time to get a new computer the plan was to do it all online during my lunch breaks, it was also because I always get the urge to slap sales people. I went to the Tiny site because it was one of the first names I thought of. The site is ...  Read the complete review

I rue the day I walked into the Tiny showroom in 2000. Tiny is a terrible computer! - Advantages: None - Disadvantages: Many

I brought this pc form tiny 2 years ago it cost £1,400.00 because i had never had a computer before i thought i was getting a good deal, but now knowing what i know about computers and how to make them i feel i have been ripped off. The only original piece iam still using is the motherboard and that will be changed soon. The computer sounded good ...  Read the complete review

I have heard many complaints about companies like Tiny and Time computers because they claim to offer cutting edge PC's which are generally fast processors coupled with low spec components giving average performance. I bought a Tiny computer in 1997 when I was ignorant of what makes a good PC and was lured by the then fastest processor, ...  Read the complete review

Just over a year ago, my parents purchased for us (but me in particular) a brand new Tiny PC. Like many others, I had looked around, and seen the range Tiny offered, and not heard any particularly bad reports. Funny how things happen like that. We walked in 'just to look', and the sales pitch the bloke inside used managed to ...  Read the complete review
