Principal Computers

I've dealt with Principal Computers for the last 20+ years. I've always found prices to be competitive on quality products and I can rely on their technical and product advice. Most importantly, even though I've become reasonably tech savvy of necessity, I know they'll go the extra yard to get me out of a problem on my office computers when I'm stumped, and frantically attempting to get my business back up and running. Try getting that sort of service from others who have sketchy technical expertise, and whose sole mission seems to be to achieve the highest $$ monthly salesman trophies.

Went in this morning with a worrying computer problem, I received excellent friendly service by Tim, a Highly skilled computer technician, solved my problem within minutes.Their charges are extremely reasonable, and the guys are extremely talented, so no time wasted, therefore I highly recommend them for all your computer needs.The service was wonderful Tim. Thanks again!!!!

I wish I could give 0 stars. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPAY! MY ITEM NEVER ARRIVED!I made an order online and one of the items was missing. The packaging came in a dodgy taped up motherboard box with poor overall packaging. When I tried to resolve the issue with principal computers, they were difficult to get a hold of and the person (named Josiah) made excuses not to speak with me when I called. Whenever I sent an email trying to solve the issue, I would receive replies that ignored most of the questions I had in the email. Towards the very end of my dealings with them, Josiah would ignore my email and I would get an update only if I called. Its been 3 weeks and I have not received anything. I believe the owner does not know the workers are doing this. They should be on check and re-evaluate his business. Finally they absolutely refused to take any responsibility for anything and there isn't much I can do about it

Went here for the first time with very little PC knowledge, great and friendly PC advice and help with the products i was asking about.i ended up walking out with a good deal and a project PC to have fun with and learn about all the components.everything is great except 1 ram drive is faulty and will not recognize the ram, other then this unfortunate issue A1 service.

I recently ordered a gaming PC from this business. It arrived late, and I wasn't contacted about a delay but was given a headset to compensate my wait time. I was happy with that. The PC arrived fully built, I plugged it in, and it didn't respond to being turned on. No fans moving, nothing at all. It was picked up on a Monday and sent back for repairs. I was told that the power unit had broken in transit, and they had fixed and checked to ensure that the PC worked. i spoke with Tim the manager, he was so arrogant and not even willing to assist in any way! It was sent back to me, I plugged it in, and tried to turn it on - and it didn't work. Again. I asked for a full refund but got the boot, and won't be touching this business again. I'll advise my friends of the same.

Principal Computers is definitely the best IT & computer store in Hobart.Despite being a small business, they offer very competitive pricing. They also have awesome staff who know what they are doing and are happy to go out of their way to ensure that you get what you need.I have bought two laptops from this shop now, and have had nothing short of a great experience both times. 10/10, wholly recommend.

i used to come to these guys back when they has two desks and a single isle down the middle of the shop, now they have expanded and are still the best pc shop in Tasmania, iv been to them all, sad but true.recently had my gaming rig tested for bad hardware, got the part sorted for more than a fair price as well as they went over and beyond and even sorted out my incredibly bad cable management,its so good to see them prosper with there newest shop, and amazing to see them grow into the size they have,i cant recommend these guys/girls enough!!!!!!!!!p.ssorry for the weight of my case :P

Very good service, came here for a school computer. Very good service & workers. The workers also have a high sense of humour to each other so I can tell they’re very close. Prices are reasonable & various selections.

I voiced my concerns to one of the workers there and he was awesome. I was worried the heatsink I wanted to purchase wouldn't fit into my micro build which it didn't it and they let me return it without a boxing fee and the refund went straight back onto my card, which is unheard of. I highly recommend these guys.
