We don't have Microsoft stores here in Asia so I really cannot compare.
But I absolutely hate going into Apple or iStudio stores.
They try to upsell and add all sorts of crap. When I bought my 12" Macbook I ended up leaving the store and buying it online.
I just went in to the store today to buy a case for my new iPhone 7 and I wanted a flip case just so i didn't need a screen protector and the guy kept insisting on getting a screen protector. Despite me saying no a dozen times. I ended up taking my stuff and handing it to another staff member at the counter.
- hboon 10y agoLet me guess. Singapore? Good news is, an Apple store is coming.
- philliphaydon 10y agoYup Singapore. Had similar experience in Sydney when I lived there too. I can't deny tho that both Apple and iStudio are great in regards to support. Something doesn't work, take it in, they sort it out ASAP. Also: There's a real Apple store coming here?
- hboon 10y agoUnless there's specific reasons (like credit card extended warranty), it's probably best to avoid those chains like iStudio. Third party support via AppleCare has been great though. > Also: There's a real Apple store coming here? Yes, opposite Paragon.
