Reviews of PB Tech Queen Street
C.
A fun shop - lots of toys at reasonable prices. They do have sales but you might only get 5-10% off (unless they're getting rid of end stock) so you might as well not wait. The staff can be a bit abrupt but treat that as efficient rather than rude.
J.
Exceptional service and fast and easy click and collect process. Love where the stores is located and the staff make the shopping experience hassle-free. No problem.
a.
always helpful staff. currently store browse-in not allowed. however great click and collect arrangement. Helpful and knowledgeable staff.
R.
This is the tech solution store for New Zealand, from parts to processors they have it all. This shop is over two floors, first floor is all the commercial products such as charge cables, lights, cameras phones etc., while the second floor is more computer parts, printers and cartridges, TV's and more. From Apple to Samsung, from Mi to Google. They pretty much stock most items you could think of, and more than a few you probably hadn't. Top tip here is to order online and then pick up in store; conveniently they have a range of stores scattered across NZ. Prices are reasonable, with "cash" discount in store. Only bug bear is the 2.5% credit card levy. Otherwise from hobbyists to engineers this place is worth visiting, even if it's just for a phone cover or new charge cable. They are also one of only two places in NZ where you can buy a Raspberry Pi, and all its components.
A.
Upon entrance, greeted by the staff and helped towards the section I needed to go. This store in city has pretty much everything, and the deals they have are quite okay. (At the time of review a huge sale was ongoing). The staff are very knowledgeable about the stuff they sell and are not pushy nor too orientated towards making sales.
Would recommend if you're planning to build a PC because the guys upstairs know their stuff. pcmasterrace.
C.
Good selection of tech and tech accessories. Helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Y.
Good location and well known staff. Click and collect available here.
J.
I like this company. A lot. I would buy shares in it if I could. I had the best customer service experience a few years ago when I bought and was having trouble installing a new TP link ax20 router. The person on the phone really really new his stuff and his advice worked perfectly. The router is great too!
A.
A medium size PB Tech showroom located on ground and 1st floor. Has all you need electronic stuff. From laptops to mobile to cables to headphones, printers, cartridges and many other things.
A.
I was looking for Dji osmo 4 everywhere. i went to pb tech Auckland they had in store. I bought it right away. Staff was also really nice. They helped me to find the right product. With in 10 minutes i was out from store. Really good service.
F.
click n collect PB tech is always a go to I love how you can collect your online order fast proper queing and scanning very well organized and ofcourse great selection of tech needs, always good happy we can come in the shop to browse now
P.
Great service and very nicely organized shop. Bigger than I expected.
E.
Always crazy fast service at the queen st store , Very professional customer service from the team , Absolutely loving the gadgets I picked up recently
G.
Always helpful friendly staff in here and virtually always have what I want in stock. So that means the manager does an excellent job.
S.
While not purchasing on the day the questions I asked were answered with the staff member providing excellent customer service. Thank you
S.
Great tech store. Good collection of electronics and computer hardware. Great price and amazing offers on special occasions.
J.
Professional sales team, the place is a bit old and hard to find a parking space with more than 5mins!
B.
Computers and associated peripherals well displayed. Other accessories are a bit cluttered but knowledgeable staff are ready to help.
Z.
The security guard was very polite. Fast click and collect.
J.
No cashiers available when I was there once . Eventually someone arrived to serve me .
J.
Tech favourite . But not understanding all. Thankfully they recognise fake understanding and respond. If they don't. Make them.
D.
Fast and helpful customer service, despite covid restrictions staff had me sorted with what I need and on my way.
F.
I have had the most amazing experience with Alex Zhu and his team, Justin. We bought a laptop that was turned out to be faulty and both Alex and Justin managed the process well for the best customer result. It was more what I expected and being a 17-year PB customer, you guys have just impressed me every time when I am dealing with you from Lockdown office set-up to returning faulty unit. Well done, team!
N.
Staff are very friendly and helpful, always someone available to help you, not overcrowded or understaffed like in different branch. They can answer my questions and have a wide range of products there. Always come back here and shop for techno products for since 2018 when I first arrived.
S.
Great place to get your tech gear rigjt in the middle of town.
M.
Useful, and helpful, but not terribly nice. Make you think they think you might be a thief or something; Fry's did that too. And now they're gone.
Be nice to your customers.
But basically an essential service in Auckland.
B.
Good service and prices.
R.
Love the service here and there's almost nothing you cant find here at this branch.
Bought a phone that had a camera problem. They switched it for me no questions asked within a week of my purchase. Great service
M.
Click and collect is always quick. Go to electronics store.
M.
Good service. They have a great variety of products and they always solve any issues that you might have with your purchases.
C.
A great place to shop for a variety of mobile devices. 😸
C.
It's CBD... no parking. Will take time to be helped by a staff member if you have any doubt about a product. Is the kind of place you will go if you know exactly what you are looking for and if they have it otherwise better to order online.
Good price on most of its items.
C.
Went in and a staff member helped a lot. Came back and she was in a break I guess. Her replacement didn't know what I was talking about and I had to find a staff member. Searched for a free one for five minutes and then left. Easier for me to go to the bigger Glenfield branch.
T.
I like this PB Tech store. Good location in the city and friendly staff.
Most importantly, they will not pressure you into purchasing an extended warranty!
Be aware though - there is an additional fee on your purchases if you pay using a credit card.
a.
Went to purchase a portable speaker. Had great service once I enquired about speaker that I was interested in. Attendant was helpful, listened well, and considered other options regarding my purchase options. Real nice experience
C.
Great customer service. Asked us what our needs were and gave us options. Narrowed it down to the one we liked. Informative, efficient and friendly. Definitely recommend them.
C.
Great PB Tech with an awesome location. The staff there are exceptional! I purchased a couple of Apple Mini and the staff there went in and spent an hour changing the RAM for me for no additional cost. Another time I purchased a bunch of monitors and a staff member brought a trolley and took them to my car for me. My car was a couple of blocks up the road in a car park and he went all the way there to help me!
B.
My go to for tech related goods. The customer service here is amazing and can always expect to find a good deal here.
G.
Great place for our industry. Filming doco for new production facilities soon to open in tauranga.
A.
Fast service and very helpful 👌
D.
Love this place , could happily spend hours here. Knowledgeable staff. Good tech at good prices
M.
Very friendly staff and helpful. Lives up to its brand voice "computers/laptops etc at reasonable prices"
N.
Great electronics store with lots of bargains to be had. Plenty of knowledgeable staff on hand and you are usually not waiting long for service or payments. It can busy during any discount time but the wait is all worth it.
P.
After a terrible experience with Noel Leeming, I cancelled my order and decided to go with PBtech. Great communication through the whole transaction. Honest regarding the stock levels and delivery time frames. Prompt delivery. I've bought a few items in the past and I have had a great experience so far. They care about their customers and they are a serious company. You have my business from now onwards.
S.
(edit: they have reached out and I should be receiving my refund soon!)
The prices and range are great, but the service definitely leaves a lot to be desired. I've been here a few times over the years and I've only had one positive experience. The last time I went here, the girl at the counter appeared to fall asleep then looked up after a couple of minutes and rudely told me I was in the wrong place and needed to go upstairs for returns. Speaking of returns, I was basically given a piece of paper and sent on my way so I had been to actually prompt the customer service representative to tell me what the process will be because I don't know what this random piece of paper is? You don't get a refund straight away, apparently I will be "contacted directly" which is confusing because I am already in the store, why can't I receive a refund now? Confusing and slightly rude service, but great product range and prices!
K.
This is the tech solution store for New Zealand, from parts to processors they have it all. This shop is over two floors, first floor is all the commercial products such as charge cables, lights, cameras phones etc., while the second floor is more computer parts, printers and cartridges, TV's and more.

They are also one of only two places in NZ where you can buy a Raspberry Pi, and all its components.
C.
It has loads of stuff on the bottom floor and it's in a quite cool building which I like, sadly they had the top floor which is where all the components are closed to the public, but we had fun looking at the stuff downstairs. All the pbtechs have a great selection of things but this one is a must stop for anyone that likes PC's
D.
Robb from your Queenstreet store has got to be one of the best people I've dealt with in retail. He went above and beyond for me today (Bought an R3 Radar detector & made sure I was well handled). Great experience. Thanks mate. Dan
H.
Great spot to get all your tech gear!
A.
Quick and friendly staff. Great value.
D.
Been here and the customer service team was really good. Helpful and hardworking, why not visit them for your electronic needs.
D.
Greatvcustomer services and well stocked for such a compact shop. Perfect for those working in town. Picked up a battery bank.
A.
The pricing can be kept low for laptops, drones from current levels. The students offer could be introduced more often. The retail margins are little higher though. I had bought a lock for my electric scooter for 40 NZD which I then found it for 4 to 6 NZD with exactly the same colour, features and size. Overall a good place for electronics' shopping
T.
I purchase a lot of technology hardware. I'm a Mathematician who has mainly worked in IT (Information Technology). Often I head out to PB Tech's head office in Manukau when I want advice on hardware. But sometimes I run out of time or can't afford the gas so I use the Queen Street branch. It's smaller, the staff aren't quite as technology knowledgeable but they are always willing to help and if they don't know the answer to a detailed hardware question, they admit it and ask a more knowledgeable staff member. In all branches of PB Tech across the Auckland Region that I have visited I have sensed a very happy work culture making shopping at any PB Tech enjoyable rather than a chore.
S.
I should start with the fact that I've bought nearly all of my PC parts from PB Tech over the past 5+ years. I commonly visit the Queen St Branch and try to keep in loop with their newsletters and offers. I've seen the branch grow from a single floor outlet to a more presentable showroom display area (so trendy) with a second floor for PC hardware.
The most import thing to note about PB Tech is their available selection of electronics/entertainment products. Their prices can be pretty good at times and they occasionally have massive sales.
The staff have been helpful and knowledgeable every single time I've visited. Whether I'm visiting to build a new PC or I'm there to buy a surge protector, each of them considers what products would fit my needs best.
Sometimes my experience is overshadowed by the quality of the products. I have had quite a few negative experiences over the years with their products: faulty RAM, faulty monitor, cables that don't work (albeit cheap), etc. I can at least commend them for having great return policies, often sending the products back to the manufacturer -- while more inconvenient than an in-store replacement -- to have the item replaced.
All in all they're pretty good, and considering there's not a lot of other options in New Zealand, I'll keep going back.

PB Technologies is one of the best electronic chains in the city. This one, over Queen city near Guardian building, is one of the many branches of PB Technologies around the city.
Well located over Queen Street and can be easily spotted from a moving vehicle in normal traffic. Conveniently approachable.
Well managed and organised. Spacious walking area to browse around. Good atmosphere and comfortable ambiance.
Friendly and quick service. Helpful staff. Most of the times, we have been able to find the things we needed at this store. Very handy at times.
Card as well as cash payments are accepted.
No seating is available for the customers.
There is no dedicated parking area available although street parking can be found around the entrance. Wheelchair parking is not available. Entrance is not wheelchair accessible.
C.
A very well stocked and presented electronics good showroom. It's a good place to hangout, if you're a tech nerd or bestbplave to buy stuff as it got everything you can imagine. For those who are traveling from abroad, the pricing is bit higher in compared to other countries. (That's general in NZ).
H.
A decent place to buy you're electronics! They offer a year's worth of warranty for free! Other competitors aren't the same!
N.
These guys are awesome. Ran into the store yesterday ten minutes before close, website showed Downtown had 1 in stock. The item I wanted wasn't on the floor so they had to check the stockroom. It wasnt there so they went to check the basement... It wasn't there! They said they'd get it shipped out to me free of charge so I made the purchase - the next day it arrived by urgent courier - spectacular customer service!! A+ for PB!
J.
Not sure if my timing is off but it was really hot inside. Please double check the price because around december 2019 the items we want to buywas 5 to 10 dollars expensive than in noelleeming. There are times though that they were way cheaper than the rest of the stores. I got a feeling that the store is kind of a warehouse, stuffs are all over the place.
E.
Small PB tech store so selection isn't great. Tidy layout however and if you want a computer or phone you should be sorted
E.
Seriously the best computer and electronics stores in NZ, a massive range of stock and the staff know their stuff. I'm yet to come in with a weird enquiry that they can't help me with. If they don't have the item that you need in store they will find it in one of their other shops. Also their online store is brilliant and lets you know what stock they have in which store before you even leave the house!
J.
Good selection of PC products that I don't really need but seem to buy anyway. Pretty much the only place where you should go for PC parts or even just to buy cables - every other shop just rips you off.
W.
Went to get a product after looking at the website it was showing available but when went to the store we were told it's out of stock. Other than that the service was good
S.
I think it has to be the best outlet to buy the electronic products and computer peripherals just because of the sheer range and pricing in NZ. Bought gaming keyboard from here. The service is top notch as it should be from any big store. The staff is helpful and easily approachable unlike other stores where u need to find one. 5-star rating worthy store for me.
M.
This branch of PB Tech has variety of electronic and accessories. Recommend to visit if anyone need electronics especially, laptops, desktops, mobile phones, tablets, accessories like head phones, cables, power banks etc...
A.
Really good electronic store especially for laptops and accessories. Store staff is helpful and do not look at you funny if you ask for discount. Top marks for customer service.
N.
Updated my review and changed it to 5 stars as the time goes on, the service keeps getting better!
Kudos to Angela An for a really great customer service and support! Above and beyond customer service!
A.
PB Tech is where the smart electronics shoppers shop. Helpful staff, very good everyday prices. I buy office equipment and home IT equipment almost always from here.
J.
Good variety of products I personally had a a really good experience with the launch event for one major brand but floor staff (including cashiers) could be better trained in customer service skills. Managers however are really attentive and nice.
D.
PB Tech has surprised me (positively) more than once. It is not always the cheapest place, but you can trust in them. I buy a lot in PB Tech but two experiences were over the top. I bought a laptop that had some broken pixels and when I took it back they changed it right away. In another occasion I bought a smart light that had a weird defect and took time to find out it was broken, after 5 months from the purchase they gave me a full refund because there were no stock of that particular light. I'm amazed at how customer focused they are and I couldn't find that attitude in many places (although it should be the norm). Also, PB Tech is one of the few places you can find whatever you need for your computer and smart home... they could improve delivery times though, but still, being trust-worthy deserves a 5 star rating. Keep up the good work!
M.
Excellent for getting all your much needed tech supplies. They are one of the few retail stockiest of individual computer components and parallel imported gear. Worth checking out, just keep in mind they have GST excluded prices if your shopping for yourself.
J.
Absolutely epic selection of tech, including the upstairs area which is PC building galore.
Not always the cheapest price you can get if you carefully shop around, but a convenient location where you can grab everything you need in a one stop shop.
H.
Excellent service and assistance by Sam Lu
M.
Decent deals for a convenient retail experience, it's ultimately cheaper to go deal hunting online but the ease of just walking into a store is a plus. Would be five stars but it takes ages for credit card payments to go through.
L.
PB tech has a great range with very competitive pricing, and their Queen St branch is no exception. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful, with a great knowledge of their products while still being down to earth. I recently replaced my old phone with a Samsung A5 2016 from here and I could not be happier with the service I received!
C.
Simply the best store for computers and electronics. They always have good deals. Most of my income (after rent) gets spent there.
L.
Great store, staff always kind, orders always come quickly and they have a great range of items.
J.
Good central city location. First visit since they moved downstairs. My usual is the Glenfield branch. Some good sales have been had over the last few weekends.
N.
Would have been 5 stars but there was a shortage of staff. I was in more than 5 times over 2 days, Purchased two s10 phones as they had the best deal at the time.
D.
Closest one to my location and sad to say that it's quite a bar experience shopping there. You asking anything to do with stock and where it is they pull there phone out and search the website.... I have also previously done this and told them they had stock and they just gave me a blank stare.
Anyway, after that I just ignored it but then we bought a item which they failed to tell me it needed three external parts to get it working. So after we left I found that out and had to drive all the way back. Got home and turned out I STILL needed a external part after being told otherwise.
There online team is however extremely good, they reply very fast and sort out returns with no hassles so If I could I would give a 5 star for that.
D.
I like not being harassed when you walk in to a store. I saw a store person going out of her way to help someone who asked for it. All in all not a bad place to go if you need parts. Although you can just order from their website
K.
i didnt order from this store but in general online
Fast shipping orderd like sunday night and it came on tuesday morning
however yall can be a bit better at communicating with customers about products i have found some times my questions and emails go unanswered which drives me to go to another computer shop where they answer me promptly and i buy from them
E.
PBTech carries stock for an extraordinary amount of gadgets and tech stuff. Sometimes they're not the cheapest option around compared to parallel imported "online-only" shops, but they often do price matching if you ask. The staff is usually helpful, even tho they tend to get really busy.
Keep an eye for their specials online!
B.
I love PB Tech and rarely go elsewhere for office or home electronics. Good prices, a vast selection of gear - including brands you can't get elsewhere and awesome customer service.
N.
Outstanding after sales support today. Had a problem with a simple cable and he bent over backwards to help out.
I've been a bit underwhelmed previously with the support but this was great.
Adding the last star.
J.
PB Tech is alsome the headphones i won'ted it was half price it was great now I know where it is I come here more often now and I'll recamend Anyone's else as well if they don't want to pay a huge price for your headphones like what just brought
K.
I had parked in the 15 min bay outside on Queen St. The staff were quick and attentive to ensure I received and paid for my purchase within the time frame, even though the store was busy when I arrived. Great customer service!!
M.
Excellent service with really friendly staff. Got what I needed and got out quickly. It pays to use the help on offer as you can end up wandering around looking for things.
J.
PB Tech... Always a great choice of tech at the best prices. Staff are always good too. Parking for the city branch is non existent, but good location if you're walking or cycling.
J.
I have made multiple trips to PB Tech as their prices are competitive and the service is good - this time I'd like to particularly highlight the excellent and friendly customer service from Eric, who professionally and quickly resolved an issue I had relating to returned hardware - the issue was looked into and a replacement sorted asap. Will certainly be back and will continue to recommend PB Tech.
H.
Excellent service...always. The staff are knowledgeable and are able to offer solid recommendations based on your specific tech needs. They are also cheaper than pretty much everyone else :-)
J.
Friendly and quick service. Always have a great selection and competitive prices. Pay with Eftpos or cash, otherwise they charge you more for using a credit card. #payforpoints
V.
PB Tech has the best PC range and best prices in NZ, plenty of electronics as well. Highly recommended.
A.
Great service, greeted upon entering the store, helped with finding the product I required and even went to get one of the items from upstairs before taking the payment at the front desk.
M.
I wish the staff were more enthusiastic with their job and approach customers if they look lost and not just go past/ignore them. Otherwise good item pricing and deals.
G.
Great to have a tech shop in such a central location. This place seems to offer just about anything you could want and i t with staff who know what they're talking about.
B.
A special shout out to Saharad, one of your technicians upstairs, for helping me fix the hardware issues on my Asus Vivibook A411U a few weeks ago. He was helpful and knowledgable. Give this man a bonus.
S.
Gadgets place in Auckland. It has everything with a decent price. One stop shop for all electronic items..
A.
Great place to get your most electronic devices, gadgets, etc. Relatively cheaper than more established shops; also have great deals with some companies. Often have specials where their prices are being slashed, sometimes even with interest-free deals too.
P.
The workers in store today helped me with all I needed, good assortment of items, been with PB Tech for years, brought heaps for myself and others. Good on you, keep up good service.
D.
I bought a Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard from PB Tech almost 3 years ago and it broke down last night. Brought the keyboard back to its customer service centre this morning and I got a replacement with no questions asked. Most importantly, the staff there was extremely friendly and professional. Very impressed with their service.
N.
Good place to go to if you are after something technology IT related. Good prices and the staff know what they are talking about
G.
UPDATE: The store is no longer upstairs and wow it's organised so much better than my half a year old review below. Seems they lost their service desk though if I'm to understand the guy I asked about trying to fix my laptop. Feels more like a phone and game store now than misc hardware.
I'll start with reasons why it deserves at least a 4, as in it meets all expectations and/or I still left satisfied, there are sales and support staff everywhere and they will gladly give you 5 minutes of their time to help you debug something or show you where on the shelves the item you need may be. Reasons why it also should be a 3 or 4 though: good luck finding anything you need without help. The layout is overwhelming with people and parts everywhere and seemingly no signage as to what is where... So just ask a sales rep. Also, you can EASILY pass PBT's entrance on the street without knowing, and even once you've found this grand hallway and stairs, you may feel very hesitant to walk up stairs to find the shop. All in all though, I actually went there twice in one day to help find parts / debug an issue for 2 different devices and would go again.
m.
Always a top user experience. Outstanding customer service in both sales and support, efficient website, peace of mind if things go south with a product. Highly recommended.
M.
Had what I needed at a great price...service centre was excellent, thx.
T.
Updated review: past few experiences have been mostly pleasant with friendly and helpful staff members. As always, decent variety too.
A.
Would have to be the best computer store in town, hands down. Great range, excellent prices and clued up staff. They always seem to have what I want.
ア.
I go here often to get my tech fix. The staff are friendly and know their stuff. Hate having to climb the stairs to get to the PC level that floor could use a bit more polish and presentation.
p.
They are reasonable when it comes to price, but if you see something on their website, don't assume you can pop in there showroom and purchase it. Couple of times I had to return as they didn't had it in their CBD store.
C.
Did a perfect job for my scutter and at good price also, I will recommend them to anyone who has electrical or software issue to fix because they are good at what they do.
J.
Always a good deal here. Staff very friendly and helpful
N.
Not the best customer service. Great selection of goods. You can find things here that no one else has. They are often a little more expensive on some items
D.
Good deals, good selection, always someone ready to help you. Prefer pb tech to bigger retailers on Queen Street
S.
In a last 6 years bought 2 desktop PCs and 2 monitors, phone and tablet. One 25" monitor and video card died after 4 years. Both desktops PCs had same problem with video card and power supply. Tablet had problems as well. Basically, every single item I have bought from them had some sort of problem within a warranty period. I had no problems getting it serviced for free during warranty period.
T.
Auckland CBD staff are very helpful and friendly. The store has a really wide selection of everything IT. I was up visiting from Wellington where I shop at PB Tech all the time and was able to find everything I needed for my Auckland client.
I.
Quite clean and look spacious which is nice for me. The staffs are friendly. The place had many laptops for display. The grouping of products is bit confusing .
G.
Good place to shop of you know what your looking for. Order online and collect in store is handy. What's check you're pricing though as they are sometimes over priced.
M.
Very helpful staff
H.
Friendly staff nice shop. The only small bad point it is hard to find parking to get there because it is in the middle on CBD.
A.
Helia and Ian were great today with their service! Top notch as usual. Keep up the great work team! Much appreciated for all your help!
S.
Went to PB Tech yesterday to pick up an external Wi-Fi adapter. The assistant was very friendly, knew what she was talking about and didn't try to con us into buying a more expensive product that we didn't need. On top of that, the product at this store was almost half the price of the same one up the road at JB. Glad we shopped around.
R.
Just dealt with awesome staff member and he was very good in helping me out, could only enter in with few minutes left on the clock and they allowed me in, I knew what I was after so no time wasting it was going to be... Highly recommended
J.
Great team, loads of stock of everything, could literally buy all the parts for a PC and build them same day with the range they have.
K.
Unlike other pbtech branches, this store allows people to wonder around the store to check what's new and what to buy.
A.
Awesome shop, nice and clean, great range, good service
T.
This store does not seem to understand the concept of click and collect. I had to enter the store and stand in a long line while the single clerk checked out everyone else. I may as well have just gone regular shopping.
R.
Probably not the best price in town but has a lot of options.. Better to check online for prices before making a purchase here or anywhere..
Good helpful staff though.
X.
Clean, nice people and really handy for click and collect being in such central area
p.
Pb tech always has great deals going and the black Friday sale didn't disappoint great service as well
C.
PB tech is always a great place for shopping electronics and PC stuff. Now the Queen St branch have expanded their store by taking over the lower floor as well. It's much bigger than before.
S.
Good place to buy electronics. Their prices are not the cheapest even their offer for council employees is usually $1 off the price. Wide collection.
S.
Conveniently located near Britomart station in the cbd. Its a 2 floors store which has a wide range of electronic appliances and accessories. You are most likely to find what you are looking for here. Would definitely recommend.
T.
Pb tech has most of the electronic
Products that i myself personally
Shop for also they provide excellent quick service and make
your shopping experience as pleasant as possible ive found from shopping with PB Tech.
G.
Very helpful service. Bought a laptop here recently and the staff were very happy to help and show me all the options. Great value.
M.
Pbtech is still a great store for general tech and pc hardware and accessories. They've rearranged the store so now phones and laptops are on the entry floor and computer components are on the second floor..
S.
A good sized store over 2 levels. Staff were helpful and I got what I was after at a good discount with the item on sale.
S.
Helpful and knowledgeable staff, wide product range, convenient location (although a bit hard to find at first), and good prices (especially during sales).
S.
Usually best shelf prices I can find. Floor staff friendly, rarely a smile from the counter staff, but best price so it doesn't matter
M.
It's okay if you want to get decent priced computer parts. The issue comes when you try to return or something gets damaged and you need to deal with the warehouse
p.
lovely staff and awesome variety and competitive pricing one of the awesome place in Auckland to do electronic shopping.

Well situated, good assortment, efficient, good help from knowledgeable staff.
P.
Online click and collect service is really good
V.
They have a wide range of electronics products. Nice staff, they are friendly helpful and warm to their customers.
M.
Ok, some good deals but mostly overpriced.
G.
Great prices and massive selection to choose from. Staff not the most friendly but get the job done.
M.
Although it does not possess a wide variety, the price is fair, and it finds the most important items for it to look for gadgets and Pc / Apple items. Very good service.
T.
Probably the top computer/electronic store in the city. Expert service and good prices. Keep an eye out for their regular sales to really get a bargain
N.
My favorite tech place. Decent prices and their 1 hour click and collect is so handy.
V.
Took ages to answer the phone, queen st store never picked it up. Had to call Penrose
N.
Without a doubt the best place to buy any sort of technology in Auckland. The staff are knowledgeable, the prices are great and the store has everything to need.
B.
The new shop is in the bottom of the guardian building. They have very good prices and top quality computing equipment. Staff are multi lingual Cantonese Mandarin.
D.
Large electronics and accessories shop in central Auckland with reasonable range but not as good as their enormous warehouse in Penrose. Check it's in stock before you pop in.
Y.
Place as very good prices on computer parts. Only downside is that there are not enough people to help you out. They are always busy
J.
Great selection of electronics, many items that are hard to find aanywhere else on nz. However, the staff can be quite unhelpful. Come for the selection not the service.
M.
As with most PB's remember to bargain with them on price. Other than that, the layout of this shop is unfriendly, in the sense that it is tucked away up in a building, and people who 'just browse' are treated with suspicion.
T.
Better online because their stock isn't always where you think it would be. They do their best to up sell you which is fair enough. But just order online.
O.
Went shopping for a new phone and computer mouse. Received amazing service by Glenn. Extremely helpful and deserves a pay raise!
Thanks Glenn!
R.
When you need a staff to ask a question everybody hides but when you do just browsing and don't want to be interrupted not only once but multiple times you will be interrupted! This is how it is there. Go and experience yourself.
G.
Great computer store, prices are reasonable (for New Zealand). You can find a good selection of products, too.
S.
This is my go to for all my techie needs! Love the service and products. I can always trust to get the best value for money here.
S.
Great place to buy electronics at a decent price. They have necessities like chargers at a low cost.
M.
I got the wrong product followed tbr online instruction fully reimbursed thank PB Tech
T.
Good prices, kind staff, but they could have a bigger showcase for products, specially new releases
T.
well stocked shop with friendly and knowledgeable staff. good prices and big range of products.
K.
Really good place with plenty of choices for computer and electronic devices and nice staff. Only issue is 2.5% of credit card transaction fee is a bit too high.
H.
This place has pretty much everything, well stocked, good pricing, and the staffs are always helpful to find items for you.
S.
Great staff, loads of stock. My favourite goto place for my PC and electronics.
U.
Always had very good experiences with the customer service.
K.
Hassle free tech shopping. Great range, helpful staff and easy to return items if needed.
J.
A lot in stock and its in a handy location. However it's really hard to flag staff down and get some help. Also it's quite hard to find what you are looking for, there's no general 'sectioning' of everything.
P.
Has pretty much everything. Staff are always helpful -- even if it's just helping find the keyboard with the best feel. :-)
G.
Better than most PB Tech stores service still not great though
R.
A huge computer hardware/software shop. Lots of products and competitive prices as well. Service can be a bit dissatisfying because of large number of customers at a time.
J.
Good range of products, plenty of staff available to provide help and salespeople not in your face every minute.
S.
Great prices enough parking when not having big sale. Helpful staff when can find one not helping someone else.
C.
Great prices, large range of products but the staff is not friendly or helpful.
X.
When it comes to computer hardware, this is the place to go. Tons of parts and products, and often they have some sweet deals. This is the place I would normally go to get PC parts.
M.
The guys and gals at this branch is always very friendly and helpful. If they don't know something they'll tell you and help you find the information or item you are after.
T.
We were looking for the router we saw in the website. It wasn't there and we couldn't get any information on it. This place looks like the tech section of Harvey Norman. I was expecting more.
T.
Good store right in the central city, good selection and stock levels are great, staff are friendly. Prices are pretty good!
S.
Generally price is reasonable,. Sometimes the price tags/stickers seems can't keep updated in the timely manner, especially during the promotion period.
P.
Some good tech deals but you'd want to check other places as well since sometimes their prices are actually higher than the competition
H.
Bought my first labtop in Auckland,the sales person was friendly and gave me a good deal.
J.
Nice tech shop they have a lot of different things. Nice customer service and almost everything is on the web to check for stock.
J.
It's a tech store. They have plenty of tech. Lots of choice. Staff will ask if you need assistance and then leave you to browse if you are OK. Never seems like they are trying to push you towards a certain brand either, which I like.
F.
Great to have a branch in the city. They sell cables, adaptors, computer and computer parts and ex-lease computers.
C.
Couldn’t reach that place, if you try to go by car, don’t do it, you want make it by time. Streets are too full and there is a limited place for parking. Better try to go by bus
T.
Great helpful staff who know their stuff and dont hold back from discussing a customer's need, especially helping them save money by making a right choice.
Y.
Many cheap electronics and some store persons are knowledgeable. The phones don't include insurances

L.
Fast service and very organised for online purchase and pick up instore.
J.
Customer wasnt so good but prices were on sale so I guess that makes it better in some way.
S.
Had what I wanted. If your a traveler in need of a USB battery, cord, or whatever you forgot to pack, I suggest you stop here.
C.
You can get electronic items that you may need here but they act like you're wasting their time. That does not include the cashiers.
W.
Excellent range of products and services, extremely helpful and knowledgable staff. Always a pleasure to shop here

Very large PB tech on two floors. Helpful staff. If you have a business, ask if they'll do a business discount.
