Front desk people are helpful and work fast. They were nice and patient even when a troublesome issue with a product required it to be taken into the store several times, and completely solved it in the end. Show details

Helpful staff and stock availability at the Osborne Park store - managed to score a Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT for my custom build in addition to the Phanteks fans from the online PLE store Show details
Received my custom built PC last Thursday and was very happy with the result! The processing and building really does take time (around 12 days for me) but the wait was well worth it.
An excellent and simple-to-use and setup keyboard. Would recommend for the keyboard that lasts for a long time. Show details
Quick and professional service, beautiful open layout store. Thanks for the enjoyable experience and great prices. It made upgrading my laptop a breeze. Show details
Windows 10 was warning me that my AMD Ryzen 9 9300X 12-core PC could not be upgraded to the more secure Windows 11 platform. My trusted PC Magazine APC had only a recommendation to convert to Linux or buy a new PC. PLE Computer were amazing! They upgraded the Bios for me and installed Windows 11 for me. All my existing programs are running. Well done PLE and thank you for the great service. Show details

Only bad thing is small items like fittings for hard line tubing are stocked in odd numbers. Struggled to get enough matching types and colours. Maby keep enough stock to do 2 or3 projects if it doesn't move fast. Staff are great. Work hard and friendly. If their not sure of advice they say to double check. Very happy with Cockburn store. Quality of items are always great. Photos attached are all ple products Show details

Bought a pre-built PC off the shelf. Helpful and friendly in store service and the PC has run with no issues since. This reflects my experience with PLE for other previous purchases. I'm happy! Show details

Follow-up · The purchase of wireless keyboard and mouse so as to provide easier use and desk space without the need for additional cables. The size of the computer hardware that can attach to the back of the monitor for convenance and space reduction. We are using the new system as it is compact for our needs and housed in a relatively small area for our social tennis program.
I went to the Cockburn store. No waiting. Staff know their stuff and are helpful and respectful and efficient. Answered my questions. Product was high quality and worked as intended. No issues. They have a wide range and if something is out of stock they can ship it from another store. Show details
Follow-up · So I recently built a new pc from scratch, and got a bunch of stuff. I went through their website over a period of time, noted down what I wanted, then went to the store and said I want these, which was the dumb way to do it. If I'd actually submitted the order online they could've gotten it ready and the site would've told me that one item, the… Read more

I tried to purchase gift cards for Christmas from PLE online, and none of the delivery options were available-they offered Uber, which was refused, and express post mail-refused, when submitting. So I phoned the Perth store, and they told me to come in. I couldn't get there, that's why I was trying to do it online. They helped me make the purchase… Read more
over the phone, but sent me no receipt, just an order confirmation number, and no Express mail notification indicating it had been sent in the following days. Express APO mail is usually 3 days at most. I waited a few more days with a weekend in between and contacted them again by phone. The money had already been taken out of my account, but after a week of no further communication and still no cards, I was concerned. They checked on my order and said it was still at the warehouse after a week-I paid for Express, but they didn't action the order as an Express order. I got the gift cards after 2 weeks. Not Express at all. While the staff on the phone were very nice and helpful, the actual website was rubbish-makes promises and couldn't deliver-literally, and the store, though the staff were nice, the warehouse didn't process for a week and again, didn't take action on the order as an Express item to send it quickly. Come on guys, you can do better.
I’ve been shopping at PLE for many years for computer accessories like mice, external drives, and other peripherals, and I’ve generally been quite satisfied with those purchases. I’ve used Macs for most of my adult working life, but in 2023 I finally had time to get back into gaming and decided to have a custom PC built through PLE Bentley. While… Read more
the build took a bit longer than expected due to parts availability at the time, everything eventually came together neatly.
The staff at PLE Bentley were helpful throughout the process. When I mentioned that I was returning to PC after decades on macOS, they were happy to assist with the transition. My questions — even the more basic ones about using Windows — were answered promptly and without judgement, which I appreciated.
Overall, the hardware quality was solid — mostly. One of my peripherals, a soundbar, failed quite dramatically one day (it literally went up in smoke), but the warranty process through PLE was straightforward and handled well.
However, I did experience an issue with my Gigabyte M32U monitor, purchased as part of my setup. In 2024, the right built-in speaker began intermittently cutting out. I brought the monitor in for testing, and PLE confirmed the issue before sending it off to Gigabyte. I was offered a replacement monitor during this time, which I declined as I had another monitor available.
About a month later, I was told Gigabyte couldn’t replicate the issue and returned the monitor as-is. Unfortunately, the problem still occurs in normal use. While a video was provided by Gigabyte, showing the speakers working at full volume, the issue tends to appear at lower, more typical listening levels.
I still have around six months of warranty remaining, but I’m weighing up whether to pursue it again due to the time and inconvenience involved, rather than a lack of support from PLE. The idea of repacking the monitor and potentially waiting another month just to be told there’s “no fault found” again isn’t particularly appealing.
I also had a baffling experience about two years ago with an online order paid via bank deposit. After purchasing, I received an email stating “order is now ready for collection at your earliest convenience”, complete with a QR code for pickup. When I arrived in store, I was told the email only meant the product was available in-store, not that it was actually ready for collection, as the bank transfer hadn’t cleared yet. This wasn’t communicated clearly, and the staff member I spoke to at the time was unexpectedly defensive when I asked why the email instructed me to come collect. I ended up waiting a few days and returning later to collect the order without any follow-up confirmation.
That incident aside, and despite the unresolved monitor speaker issue, my overall experience with PLE over the years has been largely positive. Staff have generally been helpful and knowledgeable, purchases have been reliable, and warranty support has been reasonable overall, even if not perfect in every case.
I would still shop with PLE again and feel comfortable recommending them, with the caveat that warranty outcomes can sometimes depend heavily on the manufacturer involved.

computers. My own computer needed to be updated to Windows 11. My wife’s computer was too old, which had Hardware issues, and was not able to be updated to Windows 11. I went to PLE Computers in Bentley, and found their service excellent. I would like to thank them for their help! Their service was carried out promptly. My wife’s computer needed to be renewed. Being on the Australian Age pension, we needed to be careful how much we could afford to spend on a new home office computer. The person who served me, negotiated an affordable price on a new computer. The service I received was excellent, Our computers are up and running. There was a teething problem with Microsoft Office 21, which PLE managed sort out free of charge. Thankyou Guys

I have been using PLE for about 20 years, first at Wangara, then Bentley and now Cockburn. I usually go into a physical store beacause the service and help is always good - pricing even better. It's very rare that they don't have what you want in stock. It's a one stop shop for me - fantastic computer store. Show details
Great, knowledgeable service. Went in to have a look, and purchased my mini computer. It's great and I would recommend PLE. Not like other store that just want to sell you something! Show details

Straight forward purchase, check out online what computer gaming tower I thought would be an upgrade for what I wanted to do. Checked out what else was on offer while in the show room. Speaking to the sales person who then ran me through what I was thinking and confirmed the choice for my budget. So helpful and knowledgeable. The tower exceeds all expectations and is very quiet.

I have built 3 computers through PLE since 2017 for my partner and myself. They have always been open during the process. They make it easy to make changes and discuss what your needs are. With my last build there were issues with my GPU and they sent it away for me and kept me updated with repairs. I have always been asked if I need help when I visit in store. Will always recommend PLE Show details
