    To be honest, I only went in here because it's a few doors up from my house, but I'm very glad I…read moredid. They sell laptops but they also do laptop repairs at what I think are pretty reasonable prices (I've not got much to compare them to but I never feel I'm getting ripped off). I first went in when my laptop keyboard started losing keys at an alarming rate and they replaced the whole keyboard for £20. Then, more recently, my laptop was overheating quite badly (probably because it was full of sawdust after I got a new kitchen put in this summer) and they sorted that for £30. I also bought my other half a lovely little notebook computer which came installed with WIndows XP, some open source Office software and Microsoft Security Essentials anti-virus software. It was £150 but they gave me £20 off in exchange for an old Advent laptop I'd been meaning to get rid of for ages. The notebook also came with a six month guarantee so I know we can just go back in if anything goes wrong. I've never had any issues with stuff we've bought here or repairs they've carried out. The guys running the shop are really friendly, really helpful, especially the Irish guy who I think must be the owner. I know there are laptop repair shops all over the place nowadays but if you're in Shawlands then I'd definitely recommend this place.

    This isn't technically a bad branch of PC World. It's quite big, spread across two floors and…read morethere's tonnes of parking space if you've driven here. It has a large range of items available and a good selection within those. You'll fine laptops, tablets, printers, TVs, cameras, speakers, and household appliances. Plus cables and accessories. What you'll probably struggle to find is what you're looking for or anyone who can help. After wandering the store for ten minutes trying to find a hard drive, I wandered for another five trying to find a sales assistant. No luck. I even tried standing near some expensive stuff in the hope that someone would appear to try to sell me something but that didn't work either. Eventually I stumbled across the hard drives by accident but they were (in my opinion) overpriced. It all felt like a bit of a waste of time. If you want an iPad or a TV you won't struggle to find it, although I'd shop online first to make sure you don't pay over the odds, but if you want a smaller item or accessory you could be wandering around for a while.

    PC World can be quite an infuriating experience. You have a quick browse at the new computers and…read morefind that the machine you bought for £1000 two weeks ago has already been replaced by something ten times as powerful and half the price. That's not really PC World's fault though, and after the anger subsides this really is an excellent store for pretty much anything to do with computers. They also do games consoles and other techy treats such as digital photo frames and Blu-Ray players, so a trip in here for a memory stick can easily turn into an hour long trawl through an orgy of consumer electronics. I was pleasantly surprised by the staff as well. I came in to buy a router and expected the salesman to insist I need the most expensive one whilst demanding I take out a ten year warranty on it, but he actually recommended the cheapest option. I hope he gets employee of the month.

    I downloaded windows 10 and as a result lost my microsoft office programmes and found that my…read morecomputer would no longer recognise my printer or camera. I re-installed windows 8.1 and after resetting all my original settings, still my computer would not recognise my printer or camera. This was the problem I took to speedy pcs. They charged me £80 telling me that they would need to install 8.1 again and give me copies of microsoft office. In the process, they reset the standard settings again and wiped my files - things that I was able to recover from myself. They told me that I would need to buy a new printer, which I did at a further cost of £60. My computer still does not recognise my camera. They also stopped my computer from being able to read PDF files, videos and pictures. The speed of processes is about 1/10 of what is was previously. I took it back to complain and he told me that I'd need a new camera as well. He also denied having charged me as much as he did. Although I have the receipt, I realise that I should not have paid him in cash - something that he insisted upon. I'll phone the tax office tomorrow because I hate those people who take our money, laugh at us, create problems and don't pay their due taxes. This is what speedy pcs did to me.

    I'm pretty sure everyone is in agreement about the horrendous price of print cartridges. If you buy…read moreofficial branded products sometimes cartridges are more expensive than the printer itself. However, Cartridge world aims to change all of this. As well as selling their own brand of printer cartridges (much cheaper than buying HP brand I promise) they'll also refill your old printer cartridges. I had two cartridges refilled this morning and it cost me under £20 for both of them - which isn't bad at all really. The guys in the store in Byres Road are really nice. I actually had a couple of problems with one of the refilled cartridges, but they replaced it for me with no fuss involved. I'd definitely recommend that you check this place out before you shell out upwards of £40 for a couple of print cartridges.

    Printer ink is the most expensive fluid on the planet. When your printer tells you to replace the…read morecartridge it often still has over half the ink left in it, and buying manufacturer's brand ink always puts a heavy dent in the finances. Fortunately Cartridge World is here to help us make significant savings by refilling our cartridges. They used to actually refill them while you waited, but now they'll just exchange your old ones for refilled and recycled cartridges at a much cheaper price than the originals. Just occasionally the cartridges won't work when you put them into your own printer; this is more likely to happen if they've been refilled a few times. However, don't despair - just take them back to the shop straight away and they'll be happy to exchange them for fresh ones. I've never had a problem with the service, the staff have always been helpful and informative and there is never a problem exchanging a cartridge if it doesn't work for you. Great service!
