It may no longer use the “Where in the world? PC World!” jingle, which we can’t pretend not to be annoyed about, but this stalwart of the high street still has a fantastic range, going all the way from laptops, netbooks and tablets, to desktops, TV and home cinema, cameras and satnavs. Basically everything a gadget fan could want.

After sales services include Knowhow installation services, in which staff come with the delivery and make sure your brand new flatscreen is properly hooked up and optimised for your needs, and there’s an impressive price promise: find the same product at John Lewis, Argos, Comet, Staples or Tesco, and not only will PC World match the price, it’ll undercut it by 10 per cent.

More reason, as if you didn’t already have enough, to go hunting round for tech bargains.
