I rarely do three star reviews but this was originally going to be a four star one, save for a rather awkward conversation with one of their sales reps.

I highly recommend John Lewis as a store, preferably to purchase goods from mostly online because of their great after-sales service. An automatic extended warranty for many of their products, and almost a no-hassle approach to returning items.

This particular time I was looking for a new laptop and got talking to one of the sales reps. I was specifically looking for a Windows based machine but was urged to get a Mac instead. To cut a long story short, I essentially got face to face with an Apple fanboy and it was rather unpleasant when all my requirements for a Windows machine could be supported by running CrossOver, an extra premium on top of the already expensive option if I chose a Mac.

Because of this I ended up purchasing a laptop at Dell's website. Still, the store itself is great, very easy to walk around and find things for your loved ones especially during the holidays, and most of the staff are extremely professional and helpful!
