"Came into PBTech Christchurch looking for a new Laptop. Was VERY impressed by a certain staff member (Chris Wong), he was very knowledgeable, approachable and had a bubbly personality that made my purchasing decision so much easier and enjoyable. By far one of the greatest purchasing/service experiences I've ever had!"

"PB Tech has been great over the past few years I have been using them. Their service is second to none. I originally purchased a Gigabyte laptop from them which a year after I bought it literally melted on me. The returns department took the laptop and after a few weeks have me full store credit after a year of owning it to choose another brand new laptop with full warranty! Little did I know that this laptop (an MSI) would also cause me issues and after a year and three separate times bringing in the machine they did the same thing as they did the previous year! They took the laptop and after another couple of weeks have back full store credit for yet another laptop. I currently have an ASUS Zephyrus M and it has been going strong for the last year and a bit. Cannot say enough good stuff about the service here. 10/10"

"The PBTech Head office was extremely helpful, helping me get my headphones replaced after they arrived faulty. They got replaced with 4-5 days which was much faster than I was expecting."

"Baught all my PC parts from these guys and the experience was great. Was able to ring up and ask if the parts were avaliable and then they asked if I wanted them to set them aside for me so I didn't have to look for them in the shop. Will be returning to PBTech in the future."

"Walked into the PB Tec Christchurch today with only a vague idea about the laptop I'd like to purchase, and big hopes for finding friendly and knowledgable staff to help me out. I was not dissapointed. PB Tec's staf Chris Wong was amazing (very knowledgable and very patient, yet not pushing to sell at all). As a result, I walked out of the story with a new laptop, confident that I got the best product for my needs and for a reasonable prise. I will recomend this store to my friends, and I plan on returning to PB Tec again in the future."

"Another very satisfied customer of Mark Neunzerling from the PB Manukau store. Went in to upgrade my Motherboard/CPU & RAM, Mark explained why the ones I had shortlisted wouldn't be the best choice for me and directed me to some better long term options. The motherboard we agreed would suit me best wasn't in stock so Mark arranged for all 3 items to be delivered to me at work. This was all on Sunday, on Wednesday I received a follow-up email from Mark, checking in to make sure I had received everything and was not having any issues, unfortunately I was having a minor issue, so I popped back into the store today and he sorted it all out for me. Very happy indeed with the service from Mark, very nice & friendly chap and will definitely be going directly to Mark for my next upgrades and recommending him to all my friends. Thanks, Jarred."

"Hello PB CHCH Team, Last weekend i popped in to your store to looking for a laptop. I have gone through the website and selected few before i entered there. The first sales person helped me to reduce those to three laptops by providing much needed updated information. I want to emphasize one thing about your store that no any sales person are putting extra pressure to buy but sharing their expert knowledge which might help customers to choose the right product. That is one of the reasons i passed through all the Tech stores in the town and come to your store. (which is bit far for my location) Finally i want to give a special credit to Mr Jonny Greenless who helped me choose the laptop by providing important information with a very professional manner. All the best team, looking forward to experience the same or even better service in future. Best regards, Iranga Ranasinghe"
