I ordered a printer cable (wireless connections have more potential for faults) and it arrived as promised, quickly and by DPD at the time specified. Excellent full no fuss service.

Disappointed and will not buy from again

Purchased a £500 Asus laptop in September 2021. Three weeks out of warranty and it fails to switch on. Took it to my local reputable computer repair shop who said the motherboard was the problem. Response from Student computers when I emailed my disappointment “ If you would like a second opinion on the fault, we would be happy to take a look and offer a price on repair if it is repairable“. I expect it is a profitable business repairing “just out of warranty” computers! Very disappointed and will not use again.

Hi Kerry,

We repair plenty of computers in warranty at no cost - this is what warranty is for, which we always honour.
Unfortunately we cannot make exceptions on out of warranty items. Whether it is a few weeks or a year out of warranty, unfortunately 12 months warranty is what the items are sold with and what we have to stick by.
We have offered to take a look at your item, in case that perhaps it is not a board problem - maybe it is a battery problem, which is a lot cheaper to repair. As I mentioned, we are happy to take a look and offer a repair price.

If you do not wish to go ahead with what we have offered, it is your choice.

It is a shame that the issue occurred outside of the warranty period, but unfortunately we have no control over this.

I hope you can understand where we are coming from as a business, we cannot make exceptions based on time frame, price or anything else as it is not fair to our customers.

Cancelled my order and asked me to reorder at a price increase of roughly 30%

This is my first ever review but I was left really dissappointed by the whole experience.

My purchase was flagged by the team at student computers as fraud because I bought two monitors and wanted them shipped to two separate addresses (I have a small business and was sending one monitor to an employee's home to improve their working from home set up). The flagging is all part of good due dilligance however the subsequent chain of events was very frustrating.

1. First there was no contact about delays/ potential fraudulent activities.

2. Then after two weeks of radio silence (expecting delivery after 2-4 days as advertised on their site), I had to reach out to find out the status/ problem.

3. They then promised to ship the monitors as soon as possible.

4. Then within I think 24 hours of promising to ship the monitors Student Computers decided to refund them instead. Even though I made it clear it wasn't a fraudulent purchase and wanted the monitors to be shipped.

5. Worst of all, they then told me I had to reorder with a price increase of almost 30% and there was nothing they or I could do about it.

I would have expected Student Computers to offer to at least partially cover this extra cost since the situation was their lack of professionalism.

I will not be buying from Student Computers again.

I will not buy from this company again

I bought an HP laptop from this company last October (2021) costing £1150. 10 months later the laptop developed a problem so I took it to a local reputable computer outlet to diagnose the problem (thinking it would be a software issue) it turned out to be a faulty motherboard, £650 to repair.
StudentComputers first reaction when I contacted them was to say they consider the warranty void as the computer outlet had opened the laptop to diagnose the problem and are not interested in helping.

I would not buy from this company again.

Hi Nick,

I'm very sorry you feel this way.

As the seller providing warranty, first point of contact if a fault occurs needs to be ourselves. We cannot risk third party companies taking apart and repairing products as we cannot verify their work.
Our own qualified technicians would have been happy to take a look at this, diagnose and repair - covered by warranty so at no cost to you.
It is very common that warranty providers do not cover repairs by third parties and majority advise against opening up units.
This is in the terms & conditions of our warranty.

We do hope that the issue can be resolved. If you would like to provide us with more details on the fault, our technicians can offer their thoughts and a price for the repair.

Site is a little misleading. Prices a little high

Site is a little misleading.
Selling certain products 'item only' ie no peripherals. This is acceptable, they stated it has no peripherals, which is fair - but they're doing it for products that cannot function without those peripherals (ie selling something that will not work out-of-the-box, but not stating specifically, that it 'will not work out-of-the-box). The VR headsets are a prime example.

Beyond that, a cursory glance at a few of the pre-built computers shows us they are selling them at massively inflated price.
Best example is a computer prebuilt for/around a GTX1070 video card, selling at £3000+. That video card retails for ~£107. This is usually the, or equal to, the most expensive part of the computer. In a computer priced at £3000+.

Also-
They're mentioned as 2 different companies according to some of these reviews (company name on this page not matching company name mentioned in some reviews) which is another one of those things that lowers confidence in them, for a casual shopper.

Hi,

Products we sell as item only, are usually replacement parts which are handy for people who may have only one part of a set that has become faulty. Rather than replacing the whole set, they can simply replace the faulty part at a much lower price. As you have mentioned, we do make it clear in the listings that they are replacement parts only.

With regards to the computers, we are happy to take a look into this if you could send us stock codes of the item you are concerned about.

Yes, our company name is 'Spotbuyer' which has several different branches of the business, Student Computers being one of them.

If you do want to take another look at our site and have any questions, please do not hesitate to email or call us and we are happy to help.

Is this a genuine company

Is this a genuine company? We’ve bought an iPad pro that is not working. Stop working on 2nd day. We’ve send Facebook messages. Left voice mail messages and emailed. Had no response at all. Facebook messages haven’t even been seen. Will drive over again today to the “unit” where we collected the iPad from to see if we can find someone to talk to.

Hi, Yes, we are a genuine company with lots of happy customers. Unfortunately the person you have been dealing with was off when you contacted us yesterday. We received your email and another message yesterday evening and responded to both this morning as soon as we were back in the office as we do operate on business hours. I am aware that you have now discussed the situation with my colleague whom you purchased this from and the issue is being resolved today. We look forward to getting this sorted. Holly

Excellent quality, value and quick delivery

Ordered a refurbished Samsung monitor for home working from Student Computers. Delighted with the condition (tip top, as if brand new) and quick speed of delivery for the price, absolutely excellent. Highly recommended.

Cannot fault the service provided by Student Computers/ Spotbuyer. I receive my order in a timely manner over the festive holidays. I wasn’t happy with how the item was working and received a response once the offices reopened and a refund issued swiftly. Would definitely use again

Delivered in good time

Delivered in good time and ordering was easy. The packaging wasn't very discreet so someone found out they were getting a toaster for Christmas 2 weeks early. Other than that, everything was fine.

Excellent after sales service

Excellent after sales service - my ordered part was dispatched correctly addressed correctly but unfortunately was delivered to someone else by the delivery company.
When this was brought to Student Computers attention they immediately took ownership of the problem and kept me informed of the progress.

The issue was resolved and I will not hesitate to return to this independent company who give a 1st class service for my future needs.
