Buying a Laptop - Computer accessories

So its the very first month and you've hit the ground running with lectures and group work and find yourself terribly limited by the lack of a personal computer. IHS facilitates the purchase of a laptop by granting a loan which you will pay back over the course of the 12 months of drawing down on the scholarship funds.

Just about everyone will recommend that you purchase a laptop from MEDIAMARKT, but PAUSE a bit. I have discovered that this is the recommendation because its perhaps the most well stocked computer store, well-established, reasonable service and return policies, in the very centre of town at Beurs, relatively easy to find from Weenapad and opens til 9pm. That's pretty hard to beat BUT for most students what it all boils down to is value for money and cost plays a huge part. That said, I would love to know this post has saved you the 100-150 euros I know you can save if you opt to shop around a bit.

Three Suggestions:-

COMPUTERLAND
You pass it on the way to IHS if you take the Tram #7

Address
http://www.computerland.nl/
Jonker Fransstraat 134
3031 AZ Rotterdam, Netherlands
010 4045808

PCL COMPUTERS
Beside Computerland (as you can see from the picture below)

PARADIGIT

I promise you these are not difficult places to find. Its the second tram stop after leaving Central Station using TRAM #7. PCL and Computerland are next to each other and Paradigit is 3 minutes walk away. Well worth a visit I promise you. Well hope that's been helpful. Just remember to always check not just price but servicing, warrantee and return policies. Cheers til next time.
