My ancient printer would not work with the wi-fi in the new place where I'm living. I stopped in to ask what to do and the person at the desk GAVE me a cord to connect it to my computer and make it work. For FREE. Super friendly. I will be going back soon for other computer issues. read more

The folks (Hadi, Tri) at Computerland are super helpful, very honest and very reasonably priced. They have a lot of integrity and make you feel taken care of like you're a college student again (even if you are not!) and will explain to you exactly what is wrong and what needs to be fixed. It feels like a safe haven to visit their shop in a world where it feels like you are being scammed at ever corner! read more

I was desperate to find a 2.5mm screw today because there's an SSD I had to install by tonight and Computerland came through! I called asking if there was one I could buy and they gave me one on the house! Thank you Computerland you saved the day read more

The team at Computerland has diagnosed and fixed my computer several times. They're efficient, highly skilled, transparent and friendly. Absolutely recommend!! read more

Best Buy recommended Computerland when I walked in with a question about my pre-pandemic Surface-Pro. The folks at Computerland were friendly, explanative and solved my issue (s) timely. They will be my first stop if future problems arise. read more

Excellent service. My computer froze and none of my simple solutions would fix it. As a walk-in I was seen immediately. In a few minutes they had it working normally, with suggestions to avoid the problem in the future. There was no charge. I'll be back when future needs require. Additionally, the technician was kind and explained things even I could understand. read more

Can't say enough good things about these folks. Saved my 2015 MBP with a screen replacement and did it in less than a day. I hope I don't have any other issues with my computer but if I do I'll be hightailing it here STAT. Big thank you! read more

Excellent service, friendly, conscientious. They have fixed my Mac multiple times and I'm so happy with their work And customer service. I'm a big fan! read more

In December, Computerland of Berkeley was able to restore my Dell desktop to health when I had systems issues due to a corrupted Solid State Disk Drive. After trying several methods, they replaced the drive and got things running. They offered to do follow-up for any remaining issues. This was after my usual computer repair person told me that the restoration was not possible. I recommend them. read more

always helpful in a short time frame. excellent service. Highly recommend for your apple needs

My IMac laptop computer randomly died last week. We brought it into the Apple store, who couldn't diagnose the issue. Instead, they removed my hard drive and recommended we take it "to a place," whatever that means! Apple store used to do this all in-house. Ugh. We found Computerland via Yelp. I sent a message to the store via Yelp and received a very quick response with a quote. Dropped off the hard drive on Saturday, along with a new laptop, hoping they could transfer the old hard drive information on to the new computer. We had no idea if the hard drive was healthy. A lot riding on this, and we had to place our trust into the folks at Computerland. No payment until you come to pick up the computer. Dropped off on Saturday afternoon, and the computer was ready by Monday morning! All healthy and my information was successfully transferred. The staff is warm and it was easy for someone like me (computer illiterate) to communicate with the staff. Tip: don't forget to use the $10 off coupon - I totally forgot!! read more

Fantastic customer service and expertise! This is my second time here and they truly are the best for technical guidance, customer attention and value. read more

Unfortunately - my MacBook Pro has not met my expectations -- weird glitchy things have happened requiring replacing battery, motherboard, keyboard, even the entire display. Fortunately these were covered by recalls and Apple Care. Also fortunately for me - Computerland of Berkeley is very efficient and friendly. They are clear and great about communication. Shout out to Tony and Christina for always being organized, friendly and professional. read more

Honest. This is on me, and I brought my laptop because HDMI wasn't working because. He asked me to check with a new cable in the back and sent me on my way - no charge. A nice, honest gesture I could have checked myself, and honestly forgot. Thank you to honesty and integrity Computerland. read more

Quality of service is top notch. Service Requested: Friendly and competent - they articulated what they could do vs. my scope of work. Overall, they provided good value. And I would return to them for any troubleshooting in the future. read more

I totally messed up my Chromebook by improperly using the accessibility setting.  I had a full page of gibberish that completely covered the entire screen.  Not being tech savvy, the only thing I knew to do was to shut down and reboot, which I did three times but to no avail.  I took the computer to Computerland of Berkeley and Justin restored everything in a few minutes at no charge.  He even did some work on a second Chromebook I had planned to use while my first one was being repaired.  This second backup machine was displaying Gmail but with no search bar at the top--and no, the full screen key was not responsible for this glitch--, turning the computer into an email machine and useless for anything else.  There was no charge for this work either.  If I ever need any work done on my computer that is more involved and challenging I would not even consider going anywhere else other than Computerland of Berkeley. read more

I love this place with my life! It's the second time they come to the rescue. The first time was with advice about whether to fix or replace my phone and this time, they were able to save 20 years worth of data from an external hard drive that I had assumed was lost forever. They actually had to try several times and instead of just giving up, they kept working on it for many days until they were able to save everything I had in it. This drive contained photos, notes, videos, scripts, designs, things that were unrecoverable and incredibly meaningful. Thank you so much!!!!!! read more

HadI is great. He gave me clear, easy to follow instructions that sorted my issue out within 5 minutes. Highly recommend.

i had a new iPad and an old Mac that wouldn't open up my emails. Turns out it was for different reasons but Hadi at Computerland fixed both problems in the short amount of time that he predicted and for the fair price that he quoted. He also gave me instructions on replacing my old email service with a new one while still keeping access to my old junk file for the occasional useful item. I was very pleased with my experience at Computerland. I recommend them highly!! read more

Today I brought in my laptop with a problem that I couldn't solve. Havi was immediately friendly, understood my problem, and solved it instantly! So kind and smart! If I have another computer problem I will surely return to Computerland. Highly recommend! read more

I just saved $600 by using Computerland of Berkeley. I went to the Apple Store Walnut Creek because I bricked my computer during an update. I had a complete backup but they tried a revive and said that was all they could do. Quoted me $750 to send it out for repair. It's a two-year-old M1 I paid a ton for, I couldn't believe the chip would be dead already. So I took it to Computerland because they're Apple-certified. They fixed it overnight for $150. Just amazing. I would definitely recommend them over the Genius Bar, plus this way you're supporting a local business with friendly people. read more

I am over the moon with how my computer repair went with Computerland. This is not just another review of a well-completed computer repair btw. So here's my story: I had limited warranty on my Apple MacBook Air 2019 and needed a screen replacement. I live in San Jose, so I originally took my laptop to Mobile Kangaroo on Winchester, another Apple authorized repair shop. They quoted me $690 to replace my screen and said it wasn't covered by the warranty. I decided to try my luck elsewhere, so I asked for some quotes via Yelp. Originally, Computerland said they could take me right away and would charge $530. They were the best price I could find. I drove up to Berkeley the next week and upon looking at my screen, they saw the crack was literally microscopic (they had to hold it up to the light and at an angle to see the crack). They said they would try to get it covered under the warranty but they would have to call and discuss with Apple. From the get-go, they were super helpful and friendly. 2 business days later, they give me a call and say my laptop is done and it's covered by the limited warranty so I didn't have to pay out of pocket. I was overjoyed! This showed me that: 1) they are honest 2) they advocated for my case with Apple to get it covered under warranty 3) they're fast and efficient 4) if my case wouldn't have been covered under warranty, they still offered the best price to repair it The storefront is unassuming but I would highly, highly recommend Computerland. Come to get your electronics looked at, especially if it is under any kind of warranty, because who knows.. they might be able to work a miracle and charge $0!! They are very responsive on yelp. I plan to come back if I have any other issues with my electronics! Thank you so much, amazing humans at Computerland!!! COVID NOTE: they have a procedure in place for COVID. Only one customer allowed in the shop at a time and they disinfect their working area between customers. read more

Our technician was Hadi. We requested a house call; Had was prompt, professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. We recently bought two computers and needed assistance setting up and connecting an existing printer for both. We recommend Hadi wholeheartedly, and without reservation. This review is from Dennis & Christine M. read more

Tri at Computerland was awesome!! My Macbook, with all my business files, died a nasty death - don't ask for details, it was gory. I explained the problems and asked what he could do. He worked miracles and had me back up and running same day! I could not believe how fast he managed to fix it. The cost was super reasonable and way less than what I expected to pay. Big plus, the nicest guy. He was knowledgeable, gave me good advice, took his time running me through several options, which I really appreciated. Stellar customer care and service. would happily recommend Computerland and Tri to everyone I know with no hesitation. read more

Awesome business! I brought my 2018 MBA in since it developed the dreaded repeating key issue on my keyboard. I've had this laptop since November of 2018, so it was past it's warranty, BUT it still qualified for the Keyboard Service Program with Apple so I didn't have to pay a penny. I reached out to Computerland and spoke with Gus. I dropped it off at 10am on Tuesday, June 7 and was told it would take about 3-4 business days. With that being said, I expected to be able to pick it up on Friday or Saturday (today). On Wednesday, June 8, I received a call at 4:45pm that my laptop was ready to be picked up! These guys are great and super time-efficient. My new keyboard is working great and that annoying issue is gone. Thanks Gus & Computerland! read more

These technicians are amazing! I run a small business and I don't have an IT department. Me and my staff bring all of our computer issues here. The Computerland techs listen extremely well and if it's a simple or easy fix, they will do it right away while you wait. If more complicated, you get your computer back usually next day- amazing! There work is expert. They treat customers kindly and professionally. And best of all - they are fairly priced! Best in the business! read more

Fast, trustworthy, and clear communication. In some ways, better and easier than going into an Apple Store.

Professional, efficient, and did the job! Brought my laptop back to life with all its content after soaking the keyboard with a fruit drink. For a reasonable price. Highly recommend. read more

Took my MacBook in I was so nervous that it was damaged beyond repair! They literally fixed it in hours, had the parts on hand! Communicated well! Price was very affordable! Had me back up and running while on my vacation in the Bay Area!! Highly recommended!! read more

Excellent service. Did what they said they would do. I would use them again. Good value too

Wonderful help. My husband and I were hacked and lost everything. The super competent and patient fixers here at Computerland were so great and supportive. They fixed everything for a reasonable fee and kept helping after I paid when I continued to fumble around with reinstallations. It is GREAT to have somebody to go to for help instead of having a subscription to a virtual place where you have no idea who is on the other line, where they are, and what skills they have. Last time I tried -- before we came to Computerland --I got no help at all and the person (not her fault-- the company are trying to get cheap labor overseas) spoke English so poorly I could barely understand her. I spent hours trying to get her to help me on the phone -- not again. Go to the actual humans - I especially enjoyed working with Hadi. He is wonderful. Eva read more

They were able to recover all of the data from a 2007 computer that I thought was definitely beyond saving, and even recycled the computer for me afterward! read more

I loved how fast my computer was fixed. They leave it like new. Their customer service was amazing. Will consider them for future help with my comp for sure. read more

It's never fun when you MacBook Pro displays a black screen with the fan running on high and the battery burning hot. I was very happy to find this repair shop. They were able to accept my repair request within the hour and had my computer working in just a couple of days. The repair cost was incredibly affordable. I highly recommend Computerland's experts for your next computer repair. read more

Excellent service! One of the charging ports of my Mac had stopped working and I brought it in for it to be fixed. Computerland of Berkeley were very friendly, and offered to fix it at a very reasonably price. The issue was dealt with within a day, and I was able to pick up my computer the following day. I am extremely satisfied and impressed by the professionalism and the efficiency with which Computerland of Berkeley was able to fix the issue. I recommend this service provider to anyone who is looking to fix their device issue for a reasonable price! If I experience any more issues with my mac (hopefully not), will definitely be coming back! read more

The bar cannot be higher. The Apple Store charges a $300-350 bench fee to repair Airpod Max headphones. Hadi's team will do it for the $50 bench fee. This is computer repair like it was done in the 80s and 90s. Take your children here and let them witness how it was done in the O.G. days. Hadi and the boys at Computerland are legends. The Apple Store are dishonest thieves. Customer for life. read more

I brought my laptop into Computerland needing help with my keyboard. The guys at Computerland were super helpful! They were flexible with ordering the part I needed, and letting me know when it arrived so I wouldnt have to leave my laptop with them over the weekend! The service was great and they went above and beyond! I will always go back to them with any of my computer issues. read more

I took my surface pro in to get the battery replaced. The repair was finished promptly. The employees were very friendly and were responsive to phone calls and questions. And the computer continues to work great now some three months after the repair. Highly recommend! read more

This place deserves more than a 5 Stars, it deserves "10 Stars" in my opinion. My experienced here was Top Standard, I needed help with my broken Screen for my MacBook Pro. The staff went above and beyond at all times, Mr. Tri Dang was the person who fixed my laptop, he was very knowledgeable and he helped me with my problem. Tri did such an awesome job with my screen and I am very happy and very impressed with the end results. The process was very professional and very quick. As a first time customer, I am very satisfied with my first experience here. I highly and strongly recommend this place if you are having problem with your electronics, because you can trust them. Thank you again for fixing my laptop and thank you for having such a great and knowledgeable team working in this place. Cheers! read more
