The Computer World is a computer shopper’s paradise. The quantity of computers, hardware, software, accessories, computer furniture and consumables is unbelievable.
I will start with the most obvious thing- the computers. They have got computers starting from cheap, basic level computers suitable for students, first time buyers or those people that are on a low budget. These are easy to use and very cheap- at the moment this is the ‘e- machines’ range, and prices start from about £399, which even includes a monitor. At the other end of the spectrum, there is the elite computers- these are the crème de la crème. It is like a seven course meal from a 5* Paris restaurant compared to a bacon butty from the rat infested café round the corner. These computers have to be the most powerful available, today you could get one which is over 3Ghz with over 1024 DDR Ram! As you could guess these are more expensive than the others I mentioned (talking at least £950 inc. VAT), but it is value for money all the way.
The staff at Computer World are superb. They seem to know everything about anything (well, possibly an over exaggeration- I sure they don’t know all the American presidents in chronological order backwards). They are extremely helpful and polite- they don’t rush you and let you try out any computer you like- they don’t even get annoyed if you change the settings on them (which would be completely by accident of course!). Furthermore they give you honest advice- when I was in the sales person recommended a cheaper computer to me. Ten out of ten for honesty and helpfulness.
Computer World doesn’t just sell computers. They have a wide range of peripherals and consumables as well as hardware for if you want to upgrade your computer and software including games. They often have offers on consumables and software, for example 3 for 2 on all £9.99 games. All of these items are very competitively priced- usually the cheapest around, but if they aren’t the cheapest they would usually be only a couple of quid- if that dearer.
Another service Computer World offers is a pc health check and upgrade service. They will service your computer, check and remove viruses as well as give advice on any upgrades for only £39.99 per computer. If you have one of these great value services then they will also install any hardware upgrades bought from them for free. All you need is to buy the hardware from them- you don’t even need to have bought a computer from them.
Overall Computer World is a great shop that is clearly laid out with cheap prices and is staffed by helpful, honest and reliable staff.

Second comment - you might want to get it moved to the computer retailers section - at the moment it's listed under actual systems rather than shop opinions :-)

Interesting. It would be worth adding their website to your review, and to mention that "The Computer World" is basically Time Computers and Tiny Computers in a new company. They seem to have improved their act though judging by your review!
Advantages: None whatsoever. Disadvantages: The worst customer service I have ever experienced, Once you've paid they don't want to speak to you ever again, Excuses and more excuses...
