Hi everyone, For the past few days, I've been fruitlessly looking for a laptop that fits my demands; can you put me on the right track? I am looking for a desktop replacement laptop (any brand) with a Windows 2000 or XP OS, but without any Microsoft Works or Office. You read that right, I do not...

Hi I'm about to jump onto the TFT bandwagon and really need some help choosing a monitor. I have narrowed it down to a few and would like people's opinion. I also would like to have if possible the glass screen that some TFT's now have like Sonys X-Black technology or NEC's OptiClear I think. Also...

Anybody know what is going on at WehaveThings.com? They took their website away on Friday and left a page with a statement that they were updating their site and would be back on 12/9 13:00. Now they have changed it to say 13/9 @ 13:00. Is this another unbeatable.com, not wanting to tell the world...

Does anyone have a direct telephone number for PC World in Guildford please? The "manager" Stuart is the person I am trying to get hold of. The number is not 01483 532 727 - it's been changed to an 0870 no. which connects me to my local store. Thanks

In my experience if you have that hard plastic ribbon tape on a package. (You know the one you have to cut through with knife/door keys etc), then its very likely a return thats been put back on the shelf... Seen them at comet before and more recently Argos tried to fob me off with one (Kerrio...

Dabs.com seems to have gone off-air for the last 48 hours. Packets seem to stop at a router in PIPEX space. Has the mad JCB driver been at it again?

Can anyone shed some light as to what as happened here? I've ordered several bits from Ebuyer, the delivery date is tomorrow. My credit card has been charged for all of the items that I ordered. One of the items was an 84p mains lead. This same 84p mains lead has now reappeared today as a separate...

Ordered two hard drives, received only one. Wrapped in a small amount of bubble wrap not evenly wrapped either the corners and sides are exposed. Even if it works it will be potentially damaged. Stuffed in a 205x254mm jiffy bag (the was a 3.5 inch drive) Be warned

I cannot believe I am saying this but over the past few months Dabs have been pretty good. No cockups and fast delivery. I have probably shot myself in the foot now but it is nice to be able to say something good about them, so keep it up Dabs...... please, pretty please...... thanks. Les

hi, fell for the marketing trick and purchased a PC from Comet. Once home and fired up it clearly had a hardware fault. I might have been in the industry years but that counts for nothing, they have to have one of their 16 year old know it alls look at it, who of course does not work...

I've contacted Samsung regarding returning a faulty SATA drive, and they told me to call 0208 6050 581, which I did. A woman answered the phone (no company introduction, just a "hello") and when I explained what I had, she said to send an email to I did a WHOIS lookup, and have...

When trying to open an eNote about a "Priority" order of mine that's been delayed for two days there's a message which says... "Due to the upturn in our order volumes we are currently experiencing a 1-2 day backlog on our 3 day delivery orders and some next day orders. Our dispatch teams are...

Hello I am considering to purchase a laptop from laptopsdirect.co.uk Are they reliable? Thanks :o)

Luckily I've not had that much need to return items to ebuyer, anyway. But I've just received their response to an RMA request, which simply put, says they'll ship out a replacement with no need to return the old item. For sure, it's a low cost item (£15) but what a first class service.

Since 1993, I can trace at least 67 invoices from Novatech and I have spent far too much money with them, or my wife would think so if she knew! Purpose of post is that I made a comment in this group that Novatech had forgotten to repay me my £10 + VAT. Guess what, today I had a phone call from...

Has anyone bought from this company (recently) and had problems? All the reviews I have found have been glowing but they're really messing me about at the moment (and apparently closed for the next week as well) so wondered if I wasn't alone after all? Chris

I am looking to 'upgrade' from Office 2000 to Office 2003, and was wondering about the licensing arrangement for this, in respect that I have a desktop PC and a laptop. AIUI, so long as the user for each machine is the same person, you can install a 2nd installation, in my case, on the laptop, and...

Last September my router - which I'd bought from my ISP - failed when it was just under a year old, and the ISP replaced it. The replacement had now failed. Did my warranty run out when the first unit was a year old or did it begin again with the new one? Thanks in advance

Sorry to brag but I've just managed to *speak* to someone at eBuyer after 26 cut-off calls and 17 mins in the queue. I feel like I've climed Everest.
