sfx Tech takes me back to a past incarnation of mine. When I first set out into the world I…read moreinadvertently ended up in the computer industry... mainframes to be precise. After moving around a little I finally settled comfortably in the second user market. It suited my desire to live sustainably, (I used to obsess about the damage we were doing to the planet way before I was obliged to, i.e. before they even recycled our rubbish, let alone considered penalising us for putting recyclable waste in our landfill refuse). I really like these little shop based second user companies that cater to the domestic market that are springing up around the place. I guess that it's the more stringent rulings governing the disposal of commercial technical waste that is forcing companies to find more responsible means of disposing of their obsolete technology, some of which may be only a year old. This is where sfx Tech comes into it's own. They can turn this stock around, selling it on as is or applying a little technical wizardry they can adapt it for the home user market. Great. It means affordable computing for all and a green plant. Of course, they can also repair an existing system, if you have one already, and there's no need to upgrade to a faster or bigger model. The also retail new kit which is likely to be predominantly bankrupt stock, as well as consumables like cartridges etc.

The Computer Man provides a fantastic service. He can usually sort the problem out the same day (unlike PCWorld which needs at least a week). He does home visits or if it suits you better, you can take the offending PC round to his home cum office. His charges are extremely reasonable and are good value for money. He also designs and sets up web pages. He will give you unbiased pactical advice on what to look for when updating your PC.

Yes! Suck my pun! PC Of Mind! PC! Sounds like peace! And they repair computers! Yes! Ahhh!…read more Quite. Pun a side, PC Of Mind are a small business with two stores, one in Pencoed and the other here in Llantwit Major which is the one I used. Offering a friendly personal service, they sorted old Bertha when she got the blue screen of death after the rain somehow seeped into my specially designed laptop bag (a carrier bag in my rucksack). They charged me £40, I don't know if that's cheap or not as I've only had to use one of these places once (God bless the sturdy Dell) but apparently they had to do a lot of work and it got me my Bertha back for at least another eighteen months. PC Of Mind operates a helpline, but it seems the ethos of the company is to offer a face-to-face approach wherever possible, which is handy is you're a noob.

Internet Land is not simply an internet café. They are also PC repair centre as well as a mobile…read morephone shop, stocking quite a lot of mobile phone accessories including SIM cards for all providers at £1.99. They also provide a limited range of office services including: faxing, printing, copying and laminating. As well as being able to use the internet to use Skype they also have phone booths for making international phone calls. In addition, they sell phone cards that make the cost of foreign calls a lot more affordable. This is quite a popular internet café, and is my favourite in this area. This is mainly due to the fact that they serve a decent cup of coffee, (Kenco), and their rates are competitive. They are also always open when I need them. Being a small hub of the community they also permit the use of part of their shop window for the advertising of local businesses. They charge as little as £0.50 for this service.

If I'm buying something from you, don't call me 'buddy'…read more You might think it's friendly, but you don't know me. In other circumstances, this would be appropriate, but it's not in a selling environment. Read the room first. I bought an iPad for my 90 yr old mum. I needed some checks made & went to the shop for advice. Your salesperson wasn't listening to my issue & towed the company line, explaining why I was in the wrong. I wasn't in the store to complain, I was there for help. Your salesperson was surprised that my 90-year-old mother didn't have an email address (???) Your salesperson was explaining that I was at fault for not understanding Apple's design concept. I became frustrated & your sales assistant told me 'Stop being angry'! So I walked out a furious customer & I will actively not by Apple products or services again. I rang the store number to speak to the manager, but rather that a human I didn't have any choice but to speak to an AI idot-bot. I've repeated myself multiple times to your AI bot. Your AI bot switched my call to a number that rang for three mins and dropped the call. You were very happy to take my money. But when there's an issue everyone disappears. I had Apple TV, which I have now cancelled because of this. Try finding somewhere on the Apple website where you can make a complaint. I couldn't find one.

I called in the Apple Store today while in Cardiff, having made an appointment as for some reason,…read moreI had a charging issue with my Iphone cable, despite it looking in near immaculate condition. As with any Apple Store, it is quite a nice, large store with. decent range of products and of course the staff do seem quite nice and helpful The 'genius' who served me seemed quite nice and helpful, and even had lots of high end gear, which you would expect to find in a doctors surgery to try and help with my issue. He also seemed nice and borrowed me a plug, which I had left in my hotel room so he could see the problem, which my wire just wouldn't charge at all. He got everything done quite quick, and he replaced it with a new cable, however he used the 2M cable as the cable I had previously was out of stock, this was more expesive anyway and should have cost £20.38 but was replaced for free with my AppleCare warranty. The 2M cable was better for me anyway, and felt like an upgrade. One of the reasons I continue to buy Apple phones, are not just because of them being great phones, but also because of the after-care support in their stores, which is something this store is a good example of.

I really like Nazzal On-line, one of the several internet cafes on City Road. What sets it apart…read morefrom the others is that it actually makes a real effort to be a café as well as an internet shop, and so it achieves its objective where so many others miss the mark! Nazzal On-line has been around for about four years, although it only took up residence on City Road two years ago. Before that it was located in Canton where the throughput of custom was considerably less than the new site. Kamal Nazzal, the proprietor, opted to move his business to Roath due to the large Polish community that lives here. As well as offering internet services at reasonable rates, and well priced food and drink, he also provides a money transfer service specifically tailored to the Polish community. Nazzal On-line is also the Polskie Biuro W Cardiff, which means that Kamal Nazzal can transfer funds from the UK to Poland for £5.00 regardless of the size of the sum being transferred. In fact, the same charge is levied to most countries globally with little exception. The service is operated by RIA and beats the rates that Western Union are able to offer, and hasn't got the same controversy surrounding it as its competitor!
