How and where to buy a computer

There are a few key issues we will be discussing:
-Where to buy a new Computer
-How to buy a new Computer
-Whether to buy a Computer online
-Whether to customize a computer?
-Is Delivery of a computer risky (damage wise)
-Buying online vs buying in a retail outlet.

Nowadays people prefer to have a product delivered to the convenience of their home, in a box or parcel. But when you buy a computer, you might want to think twice about buying online. There are a few obvious advantages of buying online.

1.Online prices are lower than retail prices .
2.Customisable PC options (see the
Top 5 Shops for a full list of online shops).
3.On site warranty - Or collection and Return Warranty.
4.Delivered to your door.
5.Very easy to purchase and lots of information on Online PC shops.


Although the above are considerably tempting, you may want to consider the following disadvantages before buying online:

1.Courier damage, Unlikely but possible. (although you will be covered by the retailer)
2.You will need to wait a minimum of 3 Days for processing of your order.
3.If you customise you may be waiting up to 3 weeks.

And the advantages of buying at a retail outlet:
1.Known brand is always an advantage.
2.Speak to someone face to face.
3.Collect your PC on the spot.

Here are the disadvantages of buying at a retail outlet:

1.Travelling to the shop to buy a PC. - Aren't we lazy!
2.If a fault develops with the PC you will need to visit the store.
3.Higher prices.

We recommend buying online for the convenience factor but if you are in a hurry for delivery, go local. Please comment on this article or email us info@whatpcshop.co.uk if you have any questions.
