What is the best cheap laptop?

Thanks for that Ony

 

The reason why I and a lot of other people are against companies like PC World etc is because they wish only to make profit at the expense of ignorance.

 

Your lad works for them, sit him down and ask him to tell you confidentially about their practices.

 

We have had so many bad reports regarding PC World here at FPCH it defies belief.

 

People sucked in to an extended warranty through sheer persuasiveness on the part of the rep only to find that when the box breaks down it's not covered under the small print.

 

On the flip side a man who is working for himself will offer good support for the simple reason it's his livelihood at stake.

 

Rip the customers off and he's finished, pointless.

I totally agree Bob and my son would be the first to admit although he works at PC World, he has very little knowledge on the workings of computers. As he says, he's just a salesman and totally admits to their policies of trying to sell warranties all the time. Im not sure if your'e aware but they get very little out of selling the computers themselves....the bonuses come from selling the warranties or other products on top. He knows my views on that company and he also knows it's you guys on here i trust and come to for advice and always will. Hence me always recommending this site to people. Genuine unbiased, helpful advice. :D :D :D

You see this is exactly what I mean without any disrespect to your lad why would anyone be employed to sell PC's with limited knowledge, it is truly outrageous. :mad:

Very true but companies like that dont care if you have the knowledge on the products just so long as you got the sales talk to get rid of the stuff. I find it sickening but it's certainly a fact and i know that first hand. :mad:

They're not stupid either, they mainly employ the youngsters.

Good idea Bob.....you see people are easily decieved especially with a company called PC World, they assume they must know all about computers. But sadly the reality is very different. Just alot of sales talk to get the products out and in my opinion that is so very unfair. Im not saying they dont have good products but personally i would suggest someone picks out a product they are interested in, either on their website or instore then come onto this site for your guys opinion on the product itself. Then and only then if they got the OK from you guys go and buy ONLY that product. DO NOT listen to any sales talk whatsoever. Get the product, then leave. :D

Im sure that would apply to alot of other companies too and i would give the same advice. Check with you guys first.

I would invite any representative of PC World to join FPCH and discuss any aspersions that they feel we may be casting at any time Ony.
