    First off id never buy a laptop from PC world, you may want to check the T&C on there website, but i would demand a refund straight away, if you tell them its needed for work/college or ask for laptop while they repair your one.

    Go back asap with your receipt, explain the situation, get your money back and get the hell out of there and get yourself a macbook from apple.com!

    ok but it has been purchased from pcw, what im asking here is when or at what stage can i legally demand a refund. Legally can they insist on a repair, or a second repair etc

    If you only bought it yesterday, and it is actually faulty, it will be replaced on the spot

    Your completely with in your consumer rights to demand a full refund, not a credit note or repair, IF the item is faulty.

    PCW Will replace your laptop with a new laptop within the first 28 days if a fault is found. Sometimes they will give you a full refund, just ask. After the 28-days it will be repaired by the manufacture.
