pcworld

The first bit of advice would be to avoid PC world at all cost!!!! I once tried to buy a pc from them but was almost made to take a warrenty I clearly did not want - including a "sit down chat" with the sales manager and a computer demonstration of the aforementioned overpriced warrenty. They are sharks of the highest order and derive most of the profits from the sale of warrenties hence the high pressure. They are part of the dixon group and when I studied consumer law they appeared frequently under the TDA and Sale of Goods section as repeat offenders. Try Dell which are good value, or buy from Technoworld.co.uk (cheap) or dabs.com I normally go for Sony but had an Acer once which was really good value.
