One of the most striking things about walking up and down the UK high street is the number of retailers who have expanding into selling laptops, netbooks and tablets. Of course PC World and Currys (DSG International) have long been the bedrock of this industry in the UK. Comet and Argos have also taken significant market share within the last five years. However now there has been a huge expansion of sellers.
First the supermarkets waded into the sector. Tesco and Asda are now huge retailers of laptops, often adopting very aggressive pricing policies. Carphone Warehouse have now also started using the selling / gifting of laptops and netbooks as part of their bundling strategies to sell a variety of long-term contracts. However this year was the introduction of premium end retailers also starting to retail laptops with John Lewis and even Selfridges entering the fray.
Whilst the selling of laptops has increased on the high street, the provision of spare parts for notebooks and laptops is still firmly on online business. People aren’t concerned on the whole with inspecting a spare part before they buy it – they just want it to be the right one. Also given the huge range of spares for laptops, even these big retailers couldn’t dedicate the floor spare required for it. Laptop Power UK likes to consider ourselves as the Marks and Spencer of the UK’s laptop parts industry. We are not the cheapest, but we are the best. We have huge customer loyalty and we encourage you to try out our service to find out why.
