The strongest force in life is not love or hate, but the anger you show towards a printer without…read morepaper. Why does your printer always seem to run out of paper when you're in a hurry, or busy printing crucial documents? Maybe because your documents are always of importance, otherwise why would you need to print them? I'm one of those folk who don't seem to plan for such eventualities; and normally only replace things when I need to. This changed a bit when I recently stumbled upon Computer Food in Rosedale. This computer shop sells all kinds of goodies you need to keep the computer running, from printer paper to ink refills, memory sticks and DVDs. The idea at this store is that the more you buy, the more you save; a principle I can live with. The shop is conveniently located where Tawa meets Rosedale Road, there is plenty of parking on site and you can negotiate a good price.

Came in to the store, was curious about their specials. A little weird, a guy named Adam was…read morehelping me with a question - then he accidentally dropped a pencil. His manager Rowan came out of the back room, yelled at him and made him go back and re-check all the inventory. Anyway got a really good deal on a USB stick, it was buy 2 and get a free laptop. I got a free laptop and 2 usb keys. Great experience overall. Would definitely shop again.

I dropped off my laptop at the Auckland CBD shop to be repaired and was assured, explicitly,…read moremultiple times, that since I bought the laptop at another shop in the chain, I wouldn't be charged for an assessment should I choose not to have any work done on it. I received a call later in the week telling me that the necessary repair was going to cost more than I originally paid for the laptop, and decided not to proceed. I was then informed of a $100 assessment fee. When I contested this the staff member said that he would check some things and get back to me. He never did. Today I went to pick up my non-functioning computer and to speak with a manager. During the course of our conversation he constantly interrupted me, talked down to me, and refused to answer when I asked why he thought this was acceptable customer service. He also came across very much as though he was trying to intimidate me. When I stood my ground he changed from telling me that I must have misunderstood/the staff member must have misspoken to telling me that she had never said anything that could be interpreted as me being able to expect not to be charged and that I was lying. Additionally, he told me that having to wait to speak with him was my own fault when I expressed dissatisfaction at how long it had taken. I'm very unimpressed with the lack of consistency and professionalism.

Some of the junior staff can be a bit more confident of their knowledge than deserved. However, the manager on my recent visit was extremely helpful and knew exactly what I needed to do to solve a wifi problem, didn't force me to buy anything and even gave me a bag for the part I had carried into the store. Great service, thanks. I'll be back!

PB Technologies is always a good option for reasonably cheap computer products. You can buy…read moreseparate computer parts from these guys, or fully made up computers that they make themselves. Or you can even custom build your own computer by selecting the individual parts that you want in it, and seeing if they are compatible. If so, then the PB tech guys will probably put it together for you, for a fee of course. It certainly can be a lot cheaper to buy a new computer from these guys instead of some of the other electronic stores around. Not only that, but these guys will also repair or upgrade your computer if you bring it in to them. They are generally pretty friendly people who know what they are talking about; yep, they are serious computer nerds.
