PC World or Currys?

eslick

try bestbuys their customer service is much better and there is 15% cash back at quidco. you might not get the exact same machine as at currys as often they are made for them but just check the spec.

what are you most important things in a printer?

initial cost?
running cost?
photos?
speed?

i am personally a fan of canon printers because of the quality of photos they (generally) print, this being said they are not that cheap for replacement inks

at mo I've got Dell AIO 922 but its knackered - I don't need a photocopier option just general printing but I occassionaly print photos - but don't want to spend a fortune on ink cartridges

Have you considered buying your laptop directly from Dell?

PS.

PC Dixon's Curry World has not got a good rep.

use dell website instead and you sometimes get a better deal for price

Well done that man, I wondered who would spot that first, apparently you and not me!!

Pity as the one from Dell is specced a tad better for the same price.

With regards to this ill just give this example.

Don't touch PCW, Dixons or Currys with a barge pole. They have a very poor reputation with regards customer focus and service. There was a BBC Watchdog report last year with regards the appalling service provided by the PCW Tech guys. It was quite amusing to watch but no so amusing if you were one of the customers effected.

My advise is to try Staples. They have a very good customer ethos, where the customer is always right. It is a bit like M&S; although for some strange reason, Staples don't promote it. If you get any probs after your purchase, they will try to fix it without any arguments and, if they can't, they will probably offer you a free replacement.

I had a good experience last year at Staples. I bought a USB hub for £6. It lasted for 18 months. Took it back to my local store to complain politely with my receipt. Unfortunately, the shop assistant forgot abouth the Staples ethos and refused to exchange it. I escalated and complained to their CEO. To cut a long story short, they gave me a better & more expensive hub replacement and also gave me £50 in vouchers as compensation.

I always try to shop at Staples now.

Good luck and hope this helps.

Currys, because we're much nicer
