It makes no difference really.

There are staff working in DSG who actually know what they are talking about, however, there are plenty that do not have a clue.

That only matters to you if:

1. You want to be friends with these people.
2. You want to make it your personal responsibility to make sure that each and every one of them gets properly trained.
3. You have no idea what you are looking for.

If you know what you want, and PC World have it, go buy it there. As for the warranty nonsense, PC World, like any other Apple Reseller in the UK, will honour the guarantee from the manufacturer if something goes wrong.

Besides, you don't have to use PC World if something goes wrong. You can take your Apple product to the Apple Store or call Apple tech support. The warranty is with Apple, not PC World (unless you purchase an after-sales support agreement).

P.S. Yes, you will still get the Leopard upgrade for £5.95 from Apple by purchasing from PC World as they are an Apple Authorised Reseller.
 
I'll throw a quick question in here, instead of making my own thread but feel free to split it if you like, mods.

I've just got off the phone to Apple and I am getting a new 20'' 2.4GHz aluminium iMac to replace my 2.16 C2D white plastic iMac under the warranty (long story).

Now, I know I won't get Leopard installed and I also know that I won't get a leopard disk in the box, but will I have a coupon or anything? Something that lets me buy the disks for cheaper? If so, where is it redeemable?

Thanks in advance.
