This is one place you can visit if you need a PC or even a laptop that needs repairing. People will…read morehave their favourite stores in terms of where they get their laptops repaired. Give this place a try though. As well as repairing PC's and laptops, you can also purchase laptops and other computer accessories from here. But to be honest I would be more comfortable buying a computer/laptop from elsewhere. The CD's on sale are pretty expensive and that led to me buying them from another place. The prices in terms of the laptops being sold are pretty good. But again I would go somewhere else to buy a laptop. Customers I have spoken to have said they would come back to this shop and get their laptops repaired. The wait was not that long which was one reason why they said they would return. Staff are really helpful and they do know their stuff.

I went to Currys for a specific PC and was told the one they showed me was it but it wasn't. I…read moredecided to take it though an earlier model. Paying i got attitude by the reception refusing to give me my change. two and a half years later i returned the PC after it failed a BIOS update leaving a black screen. Still under warranty by HP of 3 years but a simple fix. I was charged £$79.50 by mike when actually £75 said for transport to repair. Then told by another assistant it included diagnosis which was argued with by MIKE. I was told any replacement was extra but had to be agreed. A few days later i was told my motherboard was replaced with new at £230. I refused they put back my old one. In talks with repair i learned they always replace then repair what they take for future repairs. This was not as they state as they say they replace with new under insurance. I learned that Dixons carphone warehouse had bought out Currys 10 years ago after admitting an insurance scam training staff to sell insurance toi the insured. It made over £480 million and fine of 40 million. A TV I purchased had them halve the insurance cost after i refused it ut though then insured they refused to refund, repair or put in writing their refusal. It seemed the insurance scam was updated and rather than relie on breakdowns repair set to insuring them. I felt trapped so agreed to pay if they returned my property my motherboard with my rep[aired PC. They finally agreed but wanted paying up front. Stupidly i agreed but no motherboard and i refused delivery. I phoned repair they said they wanted another transport payment £75 to return it. Not accepting delivery they couldn't and i asked for proof the new motherboard was new and they refused. I complained and they said i misled them as both items by then were in store. They wanted the receipt for the extra £75 i didn't pay. It was under warranty they got the new motherboard and kept it offering no proof they didn't fix my motherboard then said they threw away my motherboard as useless then found it again stripped of every useful part. My repair was simple at no cost they made £79.50 =£230 then selling my old motherboard as new another £230 they admitted training staff to steal before and kept the staff. Safe in the assurance that to take them to court would cost too much as they continually rewrote the truth. They now say they will auction my PC or charge rent though promised if not as stated returning my motherboard i would get a refund, they then refused.

One of the larger Currys PC World locations I have noticed which are inside a city, with many of…read moretheir larger locations being Warehouse stores in retail parks outside of town. The location is pretty good, opposite the new Primark on High Street, and just off New Street and outside the Bullring. The selection here is pretty good, with a fast lift in-between the two floors, the upper floor has the better selection including laptops, printers and some cool blenders at some of the best prices I've seen on the high street. The store layout could have been improved to include more essential and common items PC World are known for downstairs, although I do respect that some larger and heavier items would need to be located on the downstairs level to avoid transportation upstairs etc. The staff seemed friendly enough, greeting me as I came into the store even just before the store closed which was a bonus, rather than being like "Ugh, can't you come back tomorrow? I want to go home" which is an attitude many other stores, including a few nearby, seemed to give off. Shame.

The staff were really friendly and gave me multiple suggestions with a detailed description of the pros and cons of each, and even let me try some of the laptops they had in the shop.

Extremely happy with my experience overall and will definitely be returning for any future tech needs. Highly recommend!

As our laptops are integral to our business we had to get them fixed en route and luckily CG was nearby so we gave them a call.

We arrived back late afternoon and the laptop was all ready to go, and looked better than ever! The price was great for such a quick turn around, and the gents that carried out our repairs were incredibly professional. They clearly have a passion for the industry and their customer service was impeccable. Thank you Ian and the team! Fantastic service!

Very dissapointed with the service because it is low quality and overcharged. I brought my laptop…read morebecause the charging port got broken, but it also had a broken bit of plastic above it, so there were problems wit closing and opening, which I didn't mind. I was told that the charging port is £50 (I got the same thing repaired last year for £25 in another Selly Oak service) but that he can even fix the plastic for £70. I agreed becuase I wanted to sell my laptop eventually so I figured I could sell it better this way. Little did I know that it will only get glued with the glue being very visible and laptop is still not able to close properly.

So in a quest to find it and with the day looming before me I ventured down to Game Point to see if they had it in store. They did, fortunately, more expensive than on-line, but I appreciated that they were a smaller store and therefore didn't have the financial clout to force the price down. They have a lot of games, mainly for the latest consoles, but they do have a range of old games for recent but superseded PS2s and such. So, with FIFA bought I could rest satisfied that I would be able to give it to my lil' cousin on his Birthday - one of the benefits of having a local gaming store I suppose.

In the end I was sold on Donkey Kong King of Swing on the advice of the owner who said the game had unique controls, which it certainly does. New stuff? Looking a little more expensive than elsewhere? Have a little haggle. One hungover morning I was tempted to buy a Wii, a couple of games an extra controller and two nunchuks. This was my plan to entertain a small one with the minimum of movement. The owner threw something in for free on that day due to the amount that I'd bought. Try him-If he can sort you out, he will.
