I can't say enough great things about Matt. He absolutely saved me this week…read more My Lenovo laptop completely failed to boot after a graphics driver cleanup utility corrupted the Windows boot configuration and recovery environment. The system was stuck in a recovery loop, BitLocker was triggered, and Windows wouldn't load or even reliably enter repair mode. Multiple shops I called said it would take several days just to diagnose the issue. Matt turned it around in essentially one day. He was able to manually access the system, unlock BitLocker, repair the corrupted boot configuration, rebuild the necessary Windows files, and get the machine fully operational again -- without wiping my data. That was critical, as I had local files that weren't backed up to the cloud. Beyond the technical expertise, what impressed me most was: * Clear communication * Fast turnaround * Extremely reasonable pricing * No upselling, no unnecessary "reinstall everything" approach He diagnosed the real issue quickly and fixed it correctly the first time. If you're an independent contractor who depends on your machine daily, or you run a small to mid-sized business and need reliable, competent IT support, Matt is exactly who you want on your side. Look no further. Highly, highly recommend.

I wish I had read the other reviews before coming here. My daughter cracked my iPhone 15 screen,…read moreand in a rush, I mistakenly took it to Gadgetworks instead of an authorized Apple store. They replaced the screen for over $200, and from the start, the phone felt slower than usual, but I figured that's what I get for not going to Apple. Less than 24 hours later, I set my phone down gently, no more than half a foot, on my desk, and the screen completely shattered and went black. I immediately drove back, expecting they would stand by their work. Instead, I was met with hostility. I was called a liar and a scammer simply for asking them to replace a screen that had clearly been installed improperly or was defective. They refused to take any responsibility or offer a replacement. After reading similar experiences on Yelp, I regret ever stepping foot in this store. The workmanship was poor, the screen quality was terrible, and the customer service was the worst I've experienced. Now I'm out over $200 and left with a useless phone. Save yourself the headache, take your business to an actual Apple store where you'll at least get quality parts and customer service. I will never return to Gadgetworks.

I went to Nestech Computers, Inc. because I had an issue with my PC. The owner, Raymond Vasciannie…read more(goes by Sean), recommended a new motherboard, as he said my current NZXT N7 Z490 was dead. I found a compatible, refurbished model online (Z590), which he installed, and returned my PC. Shortly after, Raymond reached out, asking for details on my old motherboard, claiming he had a similar client issue. This was unusual given that my motherboard model is rare. Later, I discovered a Facebook listing posted by Raymond, selling an NZXT N7 Z490 marked as "used"--posted shortly after our conversation. I later found out that the same listing was made on OfferUp. I grew suspicious, as the listing perfectly matched the markings on my old, dead board. When I asked him to return my old motherboard back, he agreed and immediately deleted the listing. He returned my motherboard but insisted that he'd sold another client's board, denying that the listing was of my board. Despite clear evidence, he stuck to this story and dismissed my concerns. This experience has raised serious concerns about Raymond's honesty and integrity in handling client property. I'd advise caution to anyone considering Nestech Computers, Inc., as I believe my trust in Raymond was severely misplaced.
