About

Hi there! We’re PCs Made Simple, your guide and interpreter in the weird world of computers and cyber-space! We speak your language and will use it to discuss your computing needs. Welcome also fellow Geeks, we speak your language too and share your enthusiasm! Our aim is simply to provide you with the computing facilities or services you may require. All while explaining everything clearly, in plain English, and never trying to sell you something that you don’t want or need.

Building PCs is what we do best. Every PC we make is tailor made for you and will usually be cheaper (but still far better) than an “off-the-shelf” model designed to cater for everyone. And of course we are also here to look after your existing computer; whatever make, model, or operating system it is.

We started this business with a mission, to cut through all the gobbledygook and mystique surrounding computers and their use and to save people unnecessary costs.

That has never changed!

They did what they said they would do and in the time frame they originally told me. They charged what they quoted - no hidden extras.

Clifford and Dave have been utterly invaluable. I had a PC Problem and they talked me through it over the phone... I was so impressed, I bought two new computers (Laptop and Desktop) from them. I am not at all computer literate but, even when I ask the most fundamental questions, they are both patient and helpful with no hint of patronising me! Initially dubious to leave a message on their answer machine - they have impressed me with the speed and enthusiasm with which they get back to me. Like - within the hour. They finish nearly every conversation with "All you have to do is give us a ring and we can help." I really feel they treat their customers as the reason they are in business - rather than an interruption to it! Highly recommended.

My laptop had been hacked and needed to be cleaned Phoned on the Tuesday and took my PC to the shop, explained that I'd been hacked. What was needed to clean my PC was clearly explained and I was told it would hopefully be done and ready to be collected the following afternoon, if not then on Thursday. i.e. no false promises just honesty! I got a call on Wednesday with a few queries and agreed a way forward - again clearly explained to me An hour later another call to say my PC was ready to be collected Collected, taken home and all's fine!

I am brilliant at what I do. However, when it comes to tech - I am a complete dullard. This is why I always choose PC's Made Simple. Whether for tech support or soft/hardware purchases (sometimes simply for advice), I always start with these guys. Patient and incredibly knowledgeable - they never patronise or make me feel stupid! Are they the cheapest...? Probably not. But, when I have a problem, they have a face - a local premises. a direct telephone number, and will always respond. Don't get that down at the big chains. Highly recommended.

As soon as you walk into this shop you get a warm welcome from the staff. I have had a tower system computer made to my own specifications and software installed, and a laptop computer, both are working very well. In the four years I have lived in Poole I have popped into this shop with small and silly problems, but the staff just rattle a few keys and solve the problem. I would recommend PCs Made Simple to anyone who has a big problem with their computer and watch them make solving that problem simple.

Replacement of Desktop Hard Drive
Customer Service

PCs Made Simple Ltd replaced the hard drive on my desktop PC. The PC was dropped off at 9.00am and was immediately checked, in my presence, to confirm the issue, which essentially was the hard drive was nearing the end of it's life span. The options for replacement were clearly explained to me including price differences and comparison to what was currently in my PC. Also, that my PC was not Windows 11 compliant and that a new PC would be required before October 2025. The price of this option was also discussed. I decided for now to just replace the hard drive and, of the three options offered, I chose a Solid State 1 Terabyte drive. At 4.00pm on the same day my PC was ready for collection and upon arrival I was shown the PC booting up from it's "off" state. All files and software were successfully transferred and my PC is now operating perfectly. I would recommend this trader.

Required to update our "oldish" computer to take Windows 11. Decided to try PCs Made Simple in Parkstone and were very impressed with Dave's knowledge and the way he explained everything to us, as we are not very "computer friendly". We chose a new laptop, and Dave transferred all our data for us and helped us with some other queries we had as well. Overall, the experience was great - much better than we had thought it would be! Dave was very patient with us and answered all our questions regarding the new laptop. We would highly recommend this company and feel we had good value for money.

My desktop computer developed a fault where all USB connections on the rear of the machine failed. I took the computer to PCs Made Simple. They looked at the M/C immediately and resolved the software problem. No fuss. No need to return and collect later. Efficient and friendly service.
