I was a Mac guy for over 20 years and had recently made the decision to switch back to a PC. I found DA Computer online and saw they assembled custom builds, so decided to give them a try and my only regret is that I didn't find them sooner! I do Graphic Design work and also like to enjoy some good gaming on my downtime, so my computer needs are pretty specialized. I took the list of parts a friend had given me to DA Computer and Mike was able to give me some great advice on where to put my money into parts and where to cut back and not lose any quality. I went out and grabbed all the parts and quickly hurried back to have Mike assemble it for me. What an amazingly beautiful job he did. When half your computer case is glass so you can look at the inside parts it really matters when someone takes the time to wire it nicely and assemble it with care. The "oohs" and "aahs" from every one who has stepped in my office and saw Mike's work proudly displayed on top of my desk speaks volumes and reminds me every time why I'm so glad I made the choice to go to them. I SHOULD have written this review a few weeks ago when he first finished the job but this is the first chance I've gotten to pull myself away from all the beautiful graphics and speed to visit this website. Sorry guys, your work was too good and I've been enjoying it too much :P Keep up the great work and the amazing attitudes. It's a rare pleasure when you find high quality paired with a friendly and knowledgeable team. read more

The best thing I have done!! Dave saved me from spending $$$$. My laptop wasn't working for months although it was not even a year old and it would make the noise of starting up but the screen would not turn on. I scheduled an appointment with best buy and within a one minute chat, they told me that it was either the motherboard or a wire problem connecting the motherboard to the screen. So needless to say I was ready to buy a new laptop but the best buy guy told me to go to D.A. Computer and it was the best thing. I went to Dave and told him that I had an online class and I'm still in college and I NEED my laptop. He opened it up right in front of me and told me that he can try a few things. 20 minutes later, I have my baby back up and running. It was not the motherboard or the wiring, it was a faulty piece of ram. He was so sweet about it and explained everything he was doing and what controls what. So amazing!! Sending all my college friends here! read more

Before going to this place, I was nervous to get my MacBook Pro 2011 repaired. I've had a bad history of hiring computer companies to get me back up and running because (a) they charge too much money and (b) they never get the job done. Not David! David and his staff got my MacBook Pro back up and running the next day after the files on the hard drive were corrupted due to a Apple Hardware Test that I did, which led to the Grey Screen of Death. The repair was cheap and not expensive. GeekSquad from Best Buy would've charged me at-least 400 bucks to fix this, which leads me to ask this question. Why go to a major corporation like a Geek Squad, or Apple Store in Providence to get your computer fix where you can get a repairman who's local and has been in the business since 2001 to fix your computer needs? Like they always say, support local businesses. Not only does he fix computers, but he fixes the iPhones, and sells new and used computers. read more

This gentleman is the only shop that actually repairs power jacks in the state. Other shops say then do the work and send it out to DA, my computer took that route, I brought it to a shop they offered to fix it then I get a call from D.A asking me a question about the machine. It was then I found out HE IS THE MAN for motherboard and other repairs. His prices are more than reasonable, he is easily available for questions and will definitely go the extra mile. What Dell wanted over $1000 to fix he did for $130. I am a Professor of Information Systems at URI College of Business as thus do have some level of competence to review repair shops. The proprietor is the best repair shop IN THE STATE. My experience is similar to the review of Kyle F. My machine was a high powered I-7 alienware laptop. You cannot go wrong using this shop.

I bought a used laptop from Dave. The video wasn't keeping up with the sound and it seemed like the computer was running a little slow. I stopped in about a month after I bought it and mentioned it to him. He told me to bring it by no charge. Two months later I took it to him. He looked at it and said I have new laptops coming in tomorrow, I am giving you the best one that comes in. I don't know how you didn't slam it on the floor. No charge you suffered enough" He gave me a computer that costs almost $100.00 than I paid and wouldn't take any money for it. 3 Months after I bought it from him! That is a man of the highest integrity!! I highly recommend him for all your computer needs. He will definitely take care of your computer issue at a fair price but most importantly he will stand behind his work and products!! read more

I have been seeking Dave's help for my desktop home computer for over 2+ years. My husband and I are not computer geeks. However, we do all our banking, correspondence etc. on line so can't live without it. When the PC contracted a virus we were completely non functional. Dave was referred to us by a friend. Best referral I have ever received. He fixed the problem and installed anti virus software to avoid future problems. Recently had a minor problem with PC and while there he told me about new release of Windows 10 and its impact if we don't upgrade. I was running Windows 7. I was able to purchase a Dell PC with Windows 10 from D.A. Computer at a great price. I keep going back to Dave because he is knowledgeable, responsive, and a true professional. I can call Dave anytime and he always says "bring it in". I love that! read more

If I could give these guys extra stars I would. I needed help with a litany of things and Dave and Mike were spectacular. So, so much was going wrong with my tech and my set-up at home that we actually discussed poltergeists, magnetic vortices, and ancient graveyards. I visited these guys so often over a period of a few weeks with some fresh hell for them to untangle and was always met with patience, humor and an unflagging determination to sort out whatever was happening. These guys seriously rock. Ultimately, we determined that the old computer needed to go to the great beyond and they then helped me determine the best computer for my needs and even found the best deal for me based on those needs. Who does this? They're amazing. They know what they're doing and they're insanely helpful. Go see them. read more

What can I say about Dave,at D.A computers? Exceptional services, great personality, and very informative. I came into D.A computer with an old Apple IMAC because I needed to retrieve some very important photos that had sentimental value for me and my family. Dave took the Apple IMAC in and tried his very best to retrieve the important photos because of his effort he was able to salvage the hard drive and gave me a important gift in which my youngest child enjoyed especially when she woke up Christmas morning. I want to thank Dave at D.A computers because I made a new friend and he now has a repeat customer. D.A. Computer deserves more than five stars and if your looking for exceptional and above average service come to D.A Computers I can guarantee you will be a happy customer. read more

I asked for recommendations for a good computer technician on FB a couple of years ago and was recommended to David. I inherited a laptop and needed it quickly in order to take classes online. David had it running for me immediately and that laptop got me through graduate school and a new career. David recently repaired the keyboard on that same laptop during a demanding time at work and had it running and returned to me within a couple of hours. Whenever I have gone to David for repair work, it has always been under trying circumstances. David's professionalism results in more than just a job well done; it results in peace of mind. There is no recompense for such trustworthiness. Thank you for all you do, David. Tim M. read more

Dave was amazing. As soon as I walked into the shop he looked at my computer-- a quick evaluation. That afternoon he called with the good news he could save my data, and after a full appraisal the next morning he called again to let me know what he found. He couldn't save the computer, which was no surprise to me as I'd had trouble with it before, and it was pretty old, but he definitely captured all my data. The whole thing took less than a day. I didn't have to wait and wonder. He helped me figure out what I needed as a replacement, so I was able to walk right into Staples and get a new computer at a decent price. All this with a friendly smile! Don't go anywhere else with your computer needs. This has got to be the best. read more

If you're having problems with your computer, check out D.A. Computer. David is honest, trustworthy and knows way more than most of us will ever know about computers. Don't try to figure it out yourself...you'll just get frustrated. Bring it to someone who knows what he's doing. And he will always give you a fair price. My mom and dad were ready to buy a new computer. I told them to take it to D.A. Computers and let him tell you if you need to go that route or not. David cleaned it up and it was as good as new. He saved them a bundle and they were very happy! Don't take chances with just any repair service, your information and files are important, like all your valuables. David will treat your info as if it were his own! read more

I would suggest this place to anyone I know, this man is a one man army, his energy is unmatched, right when you walk through those doors you will immediately be treated like family and feel like you're at home, Dave is the most awesome person, he has a balance of joking around and doing business and to me that is what makes a perfect business person, when you can do business with someone but also feel like you can have a beer with them. I brought my pc to him because the RGB lights stopped working and had some problems with windows and when I got it back it was like the first time I started using it, good as new. The pc is perfect and I would with no doubt at all go back to D.A. Computer in the future! - Trey Perry read more

I took my desktop to DA Computer because it just died on me. I had a terrible experience with Best Buy a few years ago so I did not want to take it back there. I found DA Computer online and found it was right around the corner from my house. Dave was so friendly and welcoming. He didn't make me feel like I was a dummy because I didn't know all the correct computer lingo. In no time, he called me with the diagnosis, and in a day my computer was fixed and back home. It was extremely reasonable and the service was fabulous. I even splurged and bought a refurbished laptop from him. If you are looking to find a fair and reliable place to go for computer repair, don't look any further - this is the place to go! read more

I was lucky enough to find DA on Yelp as I was in need of some help. My laptop was 8 months old and was working fine, then all of a sudden it seemed like the keyboard was locked. I tried to figure it out but needed an IT guy. I went to DA and right away they made me feel at home. They are very personable and very easy to get along with. They will not make you feel that you should already know certain things about your computer like other companies and they will not sell you stuff you don't need or don't know about just to increase their bottom line. I am very impressed with DA and will continue to go back with any computer needs I have. Thank you guys! -Mike H. read more

The reason I needed DA Computer is so mortifying that I never want to think about it again, but DA Computer's service was so terrific - Mike Donato! - that I have to write. In December 2016 I fell for a scam and was thoroughly hacked. I took both my Dell laptop and HP desktop to Mike and Dave. They explained clearly to me what needed to be done, then wiped them clean, re-installed everything, saved all my files, put in a good security system, and assured me I wasn't as stupid as I know I am. Both computers are running fine now, and much faster than before. Great service; very friendly guys; well worth every penny (which weren't very many, at that!). read more

We went here because the power connection on my monitor stopped working. Within five minutes, he diagnosed that it was the power adapter that was broken, not the monitor, and he had a universal power adapter to confirm the monitor was fine. He refused to take any payment for the diagnosis, even though he probably saved me $300 I would have spent on a new monitor. He was very friendly, and on the way out (it was a hot summer day), he even offered us sodas! I would highly recommend this place to anyone with computer problems. We left wishing we had some other broken equipment, just so we could go back! read more

My name it's Ethan I came here with an Asus laptop with a laptop-cover replacement, I acquired parts from a thirty party and brought it here, Dave fixed it quickly and bought the part I did not buy as well. After installing computer didn't turn on, must have been my old motherboard. He offered to buy the same exact motherboard and reinstall the case and the new motherboard. (Intel I7) Best part was; only charged me for parts, not making anything extra. -Very positive and straight to the point. -I will recommend him whenever needed. Thank you again!! read more

I called D.A. Computers this morning in a panic. Another company had replaced the batteries in my computer and I could no longer access any of my apps or programs. The other place was closed on the weekend. I spoke to the person at D.A. Computers for under five minutes and he helped me resolve this issue. It seemed like magic but I know it is expertise and deep knowledge. Plus kind customer service. In the end I didn't need to bring my computer in. But if I ever do need to, D.A. Computer will be the first place I call. read more

I have had several experiences with D.A. Computer. The most recent was yet another remarkable experience. Saturday morning my friend was leaving town on a business trip and was due to fly out the following day. Her laptop crashed on that Saturday morning and it was critical to her work week. She called Dave who told her to drop by; within an hour, that same Saturday morning, it was repaired with a smile (and a laugh or two because Dave is a very funny chap). Excellent, excellent work, service and prices. read more
