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 bought a laptop in 2007 from an Apple Store in the United States. I remember when I bought the…read morenew product, it seemed to sleek and modern at the time. I remember the smell of newly formed plastic in the box, the design was exciting. Problems with the laptop started to unravel four years later. The first thing that happened was that my battery broke. Then the built in DVD player stopped working so I couldn't watch films on it anymore. Then the screen got a slight bit of water damage at the sides, I still to this day do not know why this happened. The final straw was when the keyboard went and would only let me type in a few characters. I took my broken laptop into the laptop lab and the technician there asked me if I had any Apple Care, I didn't. He told me that it would be more expensive to replace or fix the broken parts than it would be to buy a new laptop out right. He also told me that it would take a long time to do this. I appreciated the honesty that the staff here gave me; I didn't go ahead with getting it fixed because I ended up getting a new laptop. Now my Apple won't even turn on.

I visited Laptop Lab, to ask about a new hard drive for my laptop and got a very reasonable quote from the chap behind the counter there. Whilst I was there I couldn't help but admire his range of stock, the walls were covered with little gizmo's and I took the opportunity to purchase a new pair of headphones. Friendly enough to indulge in a little computer chit chat I was happy with the service provided by the technician there and the componenst seemed to be very reasonably priced. I confered witha a more tech savvy friend and i was told that the price I was quoted was in fact a good one, so I am happy to endorse Laptop Lab.

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!

I took my ever aging and frustratingly slow laptop in to them as I thought it had died and gone to computer heaven for good. The chap who took it in said he could look at it straight away.

Great customer service and no hint of being ripped off. I was very happy. The battery pack they supplied is still going - and the laptop lives to see another day.

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.

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.
