Ok so my most embarrassing story has a happy ending, thanks to Human Computer! I got a new job recently and my VP made an exception for me and purchased a new laptop for me. Two weeks later, I somehow shattered the screen. I've never broken a computer in my life - and now I've broken my brand new laptop on I got in my brand new job. Well, my family recommended that I go to Human Computer since they've been going there for years. It is in Riverside and I'm in Orange County, but due to the circumstances, i was willing to take the chance. Well I got there on Saturday at 9am when they opened, and the screen was fixed and ready to go by 9:29am!! Plus, they discounted an already fair price since I drove all the way out from OC. Thank you, Human Computer! You have a customer for life! read more

Serviced my Mac book pro. Great service, great work and done in a timely manner. Highly recommend them!!!!

We went to Human Computer in Riverside to look for a laptop for Codi's 18th Birthday. I did not want to go to the big chain store (who's name I won't mention ) due to their lack of customer service. We saw The Human Computer on Yelp and decided to give them a try! Mike and John were super helpful and extremely nice! Not only are they wonderful they are also super Knowledgeable when it comes to computers! They showed us different laptops and sold Codi and my Husband on one! They were not pushy and all of their computers are refurbished and less expensive than any retail store. They do repairs on computers right there also! I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a good repair shop or a computer to start here first!!! read more

Super honest business. Had issues turning on my Alienware laptop and dropped it off and within 24 hours I was told they were unable to find issues with it. Granted there were no issues there was no charge and I have a fully functioning device. Thankful for the honesty and integrity. I'll be back if anything goes awry with my devices. read more

So I recently had my HP Touch computer screen broken this February 2021. But I visited this place and the owner is known as John. So he was able to fix my PC in a week and gave me a good price also fantastic service. However, he can not fix any App Computer. (In other words, I would Highly Recommend John for the job!) read more

I had a great experience at Human Computer. I'm in town working over the holidays and I cracked my laptop screen as soon as I got off the plane. I went to BestBuy and they told me it would be 2 weeks before it was repaired. I found HumanComputer and they replaced my screen within 30 minutes. They were a real life saver and I couldn't have been happier with the price as well. I highly recommend them for all of your electronic needs. read more

I found this place looking for someone to replace my keyboard and battery on my MacBook Pro due to water damage. They replaced both within a day at a very reasonable price. This was about 6 months ago. Since before the water damage my MacBook had been running slow when multiple programs were opened. Now that I'm back in school, I needed to clean it up and upgrade the hard drive. John gave me a quote over the phone so I quickly went back and left my MacBook there. I paid less than $200 for a brand new SSD, file transfer and the newest iOS software upgrade. John had it ready for me that same day! I'm supper attached to my MacBook and I'm so happy I found this place to help me out at the best prices I've seen or heard of. read more

We love HUMAN COMPUTER! They have definitely earned our business. My husband has been coming here for about 10 years. We have bought 2 computers from them in the past 2 years. One was a present for my uncle and Human Computer said if he didn't like it bring it back. Well, my uncle didn't like the one I picked out.. so we brought it back. They stood behind their policy. 2 months later they let us trade it in for another one! We highly recommend them! Whether you have a computer that needs fixing.. or in the market to buy a new one... this is the spot! Thank you Human Computer!!!!! read more

See all

The guys at human computer are honest and trustworthy! I had them look at an external drive that wasn't working, and although they couldn't fix it, they never charged me for their time to look at it, and also recommended a vendor that might be able to help me with my issue! Thanks guys! read more

I have been going to the human computer for years now and normally they do a good job. But the last two times I've gone they've bricked my computer and this time was even worse. I asked for them to install a new NVME drive onto my computer and copy all the files over. This process took upwards of 4 hours due to the person working on it telling me my computer was blue screening and not working correctly. They then told me that they installed the drive but couldn't get all the files onto it downloaded and instead loaded it up on to another drive and proceeded to give me the drive. I now have a completely factory restarted computer with no files on it, where I have to redownload everything myself. Move files over onto the new drive which I paid them $130 dollars to do and overall completely inconvenienced me. Not worth the money, and not worth the time. read more

I noticed this was a family-owned business off the bat I came in and they were able to help me find the correct charger. Very reliable staff and very sincere. Definitely coming back to get my laptop serviced here read more

I had this place replace a battery on my MacBook six months ago at an affordable price. Last week the battery went dead so I called this place and they replaced the battery free of charge and same day fix. Great customer service and would recommend this place to anybody. read more

YES! You read right! I will not go to another large commercial spot for any of my computer needs. This will be my new spot! It is centrally located right off the Van Buran freeway exit.

My dell laptop charger broke and I desperately needed one for work. I bought one on Amazon that claimed 2 day shipping but then got an email that it would take a week. I then tried Best Buy, target, Walmart looking for a universal charger but the cheapest was $60 - $80 which is way out of my price range. A worker at Walmart recommended this place and I'm so glad I came!!!! 1. Awesome customer service! Mike assisted us and even helped us figure out the correct voltage so that I wouldn't fry my computer (I didn't even know that voltage mattered!) 2. He gave us a fair deal! Only $25 !! Don't go to geek squad COME HERE!!! They know their stuff and they're nice and cheap!!!!! read more

Stan and the crew at Human Computer, yet again, were terrific. I received straightforward answers and suggestions on the part I needed for the repair (replacement retina screen for a mac pro 2015), and once I received the part, was able to walk in for the service, and within 2 hours the computer was fixed! This company is a treasure to the community, and I send all my friends/associates here for their computer issues. Thank you again Human Computer! read more

My computer died :/ Mother board and hard drive. Mike did everything he could to help. He was fast and kept me informed at every step. Would definitely return to him in the future for technology needs. read more

This repair center is legit! I brought my MSI laptop in today as a 911 and Stan spent the better half of the day trying to clone my laptop to a rental so I could send it back to the manufacturer under warranty and not have any down time. Unfortunately there was some sort of internal protection so the cloning wasn't successful. I asked Stan what I owed and he said zero because he was unsuccessful in doing the cloning. Everything about the service I got was top notch. They have earned my future business. I highly recommend the human computer. read more

I am a long time happy customer of Human computer store located in Van Buren. Everytime we had issues with laptops or computers we get it solved very quickly in reasonable price. Sometimes even free. Their customer service is excellent. Stan who helped me this time is very knowledgeable and kind. Gave me good advices and alternatives. My daughter and son also got help with their needs in the last seven years. I highly recommend everyone to check on Human Computer for their IT needs. Thanks. read more

I wanted to thank Stan and John for their excellent service. I needed to upgrade my laptop right away, and they were able to provide me with same day service, actually, same morning service! I run my business from my laptop and being down can be a real hassle as I am typically out and about. The four words I would use to describe Human Computer is helpful, quick, affordable, and friendly. read more

Great people! John is amazing at what he does. Our laptop wasn't charging so we took it to BestBuy where we bought it. Geek Squad said at least a month to send it out. John fixed it in less than 24 hours. read more

I have been a customer of Human Computer for years. Their customer service has more than earned my loyalty. Their prices are very reasonable, customer service is professional and personable, and they have never let me down. Most recently, my hard drive on my laptop crashed and it seemed that there was no way to retrieve the files. They worked tirelessly to save everything for me. I got my computer back like nothing had ever happened. And the cost to fix it was less than what they quoted me. NOBODY does that! read more

Excellent, professional, and quick service. It's been about 6 months since I brought my laptop in to get serviced (for a faulty mousepad), and my mousepad is still working very well. read more

I have taken my old computers to this man in crisis several times in the past few years. When my last computer died, he sold me a refurbished computer that I am so happy with. he knew what I needed, without even asking. No huge bells or whistles, just functionality. I trust his judgement, expertise and advice in so few words. Highly recommended !!! read more

So simple. I brought in my computer, John knew what was wrong, ordered the part and fixed my computer within 3 days. Easy process. They will have my business in the future. read more

I've taken 2 laptops to them to replace hard drives in and they did it very quickly. Very happy with their service!

My laptop wouldn't close properly and I figured it was some hinge issue. Did my Yelp research and settled on Human Computer, though I live in Redlands. John helped me and was always very friendly and kind. He noticed it wasn't a hinge issue but a back cover issue, maybe both a top and back. I paid my deposit and he submitted an order for parts. Here's how the rest of the experience went: - Waited a week, then brought in laptop to fix. Turns out it was a top and bottom cover issue, so he replaced both. - Picked up laptop and noticed touch pad protruded and would "click" back into place but it would pop back up. - Took it back to HC; was told a new touch pad was needed. Part would be ordered and I was to give them a call to check when the part arrived. No charge for labor or parts. Returned home; noticed a screw was just laying on my screen when I opened my laptop. - Confirmed part was received; dropped off laptop at about 10:30am and asked if it'd be done by end of day. Was told it would be worked on immediately. By 4:30pm, no call was received so I called them, since they closed at 5pm. Was told I'd get a call by 10am the next day regarding status. - No call received so I called them and was told it was ready for pick up. - Laptop was picked up but since I was in a rush, I didn't test it out in store. John stated if issue wasn't resolved, he'd give me credit towards another computer. Thanked him and left. Today, I finally was able to test out my laptop. Touch pad works but definitely feels different. Top cover continuously pops up, bottom cover is slightly off, and backing seems crooked. It's been a hassle because of the distance but it doesn't help that I went in for one thing to be fixed but ended up with some more issues that seem unrelated. John was always polite and I appreciate the offer for store credit, but I don't think I'll be back. read more

These fine folks were able to get my laptops screen replaced very quickly. they were very nice and helpful.

Well, I have not had to come here in about 8 years, and I can tell you they still do the best job in town. I needed an upgrade on a computer that I use (this one I am typing on for that matter), and the process is so easy, so simple with this company. Upgraded to a SSD, and they were not lying; this thing is 30-40 times faster than my original HD. We also found that my Vid. card was the bigger part of the problem, but since I don't game on this anymore, the internal is just fine. Give them a try if you need some computer work done. read more

I can always count on them to have the BEST PRICES and customer service ever!. They always help me out when I need it went in today needed a sata cable cause everywhere else is sold out and the owner just gave it to me for free what an awesome guy. I will always choose human computer for my pc parts store ! read more

Highly recommend you use Human Computer for tech repair needs. John is very personable and makes you feel comfortable regardless if you're tech savvy or only know how to turn it on. He really tries to fix the issue in the least expensive way he can. My laptop died, wasn't worth the cost to repair. I told him what I needed and he came up with a refurbished one, much better than the one I had, at a very reasonable price. Transferred all the information over and formatted it. I left with a very good lap top, ready to go with all my information and documents and felt like I got a good deal. I will go back again when my other computer dies. read more

Came in today and my computer was fixed within 30 minutes! Great service and very friendly, I am a returning customer that will continue to come here for my computer problems! read more

Pretty much worthless since ownership changed. I have a simple problem, the guy said it was fixed and nothing further was needed. Walked out and tried it and it wasn't fixed. Went back in and the guy asks me why I want to fix it. Look idiot, I want my computer to work correctly. WORTHLESS!!!!!!!!!! read more

I came in yesterday looking for a good solid laptop, with either a gaming laptop or workstation laptop in mind. They do have a really good selection on pre owned gaming laptops, many in immaculate condition. I went back today to pick up the one I had chosen (which they were happy to hold for me) I went with a really nice MSI laptop, which they sold to me for a really good price for the specs it had. Check these guys out, they really do have a good selection of computers of all specs. read more
