Computer purchasing made easy

Whether your child needs a new computer to study or a webcam to stay in touch, John Lewis is your one-stop technology shop.
It will soon be time to wave the latest crop of university students on their way. This is an unsettling time for any parent, as you watch your son or daughter fly the nest for the first time - will they settle easily into their new digs, and are they going make friends with the right crowd?

As far as all that's concerned, you'll have to leave them to it. But at least you can make sure you send them on their way with the right equipment for the academic year ahead.

But where do you go for value for money, sensible advice and technical support? John Lewis is the perfect place for you to ensure they leave home with all their technology needs properly catered for.

Whatever your student offspring are looking to purchase for their new academic year ahead, it is a store you can trust to give unrivalled customer service and after-sales support.

Now is the time when your children put some serious thought into their technology shopping list. Whether it's a new laptop, netbook, printer, hard drive, webcam or the latest software they need, you can rest easy - John Lewis is a one-stop technology shop.

Of course, your children will want good-looking hardware, paired with the right software to make it work right for them.

The days of dog-eared student ring-binders are well gone. Students will need to type up coursework and access documents online. A new laptop will also double as an entertainment portal for tasks such as watching television shows, video calling and storing photos.

John Lewis is a store that will make everyone happy; you can shop with ease and know that you're getting value for money, with post-purchase support if you need it.

It has technical experts able to offer unrivalled, impartial knowledge close at hand in every store.

And whatever your budget - regardless of what equipment you are looking for - there is something to suit your child.

Meanwhile, the last thing you need to worry about is something going wrong with your purchases further down the line. John Lewis offers a free, two-year guarantee on all desktop PCs, so you can rely on the store to resolve any issues. This is in addition to a 90-day helpline service from the day of purchase.

As well as larger items such as computers, laptops and printers, at John Lewis you'll find all the add-ons you need to get the most from your purchase, from cables and connectors to software and accessories, print cartridges and laptop bags.
