.. has to buy PC from Pc world

[unofficialPete]

Don't ask why, my mates dad has to buy from PC world.



Budget is high at around 1k+

Brands to avoid? packard bell? compaq? fujitsu? all? lol

Apparently saw a 300GB hd, dual processor intel?, 512mb graphics, 2 gig ram packard bell + 19" monitor for under 1k in their, spec sounds to good for the price?

Imagine its all cheap components?

I have a compaq laptop and would recommend he stays away from that brand 3 screens 2 dvd writers and numerous other repairs in the first year

I was in the other day and saw a lovely phillips model for just over 1k was sex wee

tbh ive got a packard bell that i got from them as just a tower, without a monitor etc, about 3 years ago.

Nothing has gone wrong with it at all, so i can reccomend them.

Dont be fooled with the PC Performance s**t they try to flog you though, when i worked there we was told to flog this s**t out of it, and its not really worth it.

Drop fUbAr a message as I think it's him that works there.

I got a Packard Bell PC from PC World about 3/4 years ago. It cost around £700, so isn't really what I call high speed lol . Because its a Packard Bell PC, I sometimes have to install some things e.g. My USB Modem with a patch from there website and its the same for a number of things. Its old , so I don't know how good they are now?.

Has he thought about Dell PC's?. I know you can only get them from the internet,Telephone or sometimes QVC Shopping Channel, but I have heard good things about them...

pmsl!!! Funny thing is, its sooooooo close to the truth!!!

 

[fungusman]

I think that a grand would be best spent elsewgere,,, hp PC's are suprisingly good though...

 

[nockmeister]

Advent is PCWorld's generic brand, cheap but good stuff

 

[MrAtego]

It all depends what he wants, does he want something he can work on himself and upgrade later?? If not sure a pc world sourced pc will be ok for him
