Let's start with a few facts: I am moving overseas in two weeks. that means LOTS of important work…read morewith finances, wills, etc, all having to be done on line. All I have is my laptop, a brand-new Lenovo. Yesterday I put the top down on the laptop, and left for a day in Portland. When I got home, my laptop refused to connect to the Internet. I launched into all the obvious troubleshooting: the modem, even connecting a hard line to my laptop. It's almost 5:30 on a Friday, mind you, and I'm going to be without a computer for...how long? Affordable Computers was six minutes from my house. I called, they said get it here, we'll do all we can and even take it to another shop if we can't fix it by eight. I broke a speed record delivering it to the shop, where their charming yellow lab handed me the Frisbee as the shop took my computer. They said no matter what, it's $199, the emergency rate- believe me I was HAPPY if only they could fix the problem. Barely an hour later, I get the call. Come on down, we're all done. Turns out that there was some crap Windows app (of course there was), the RealTek card needed to be replaced with an Intel card, and by the way, your VPN was on. And by the way, we're giving you the card, and on top of that, a replacement HP cord for an ancient laptop that I had to drag out of storage just in case only to find out that it had broken. So now I am back to having two working laptops, albeit I now have to re-tape that storage box. Who cares, right? Jess is that kind of kindhearted super pro tech who understands that when a customer walks in with their face looking like a dead fish and an emergency on her hands, you swoop in with your cape and get the job done. There's no guarantee, not really, that everyone's problem can be fixed that fast but here's my bottom line: computer pros know better than all of us what the typical issues are, especially with new laptops and gear that is loaded with crap that causes all kinds of problems. They can cut through to more efficient troubleshooting and figure out your issue. When you have an emergency at 5:30 pm when everyone else is closing up shop, and you can bring your gear in and get greeted by a very happy dog and people who know what they're doing and who are dedicated to getting your problem fixed because they get the urgency, you share the good news. Affordable had been referred to me by a friend year ago, and this was the first time I really needed them. My tech expert up in Portland, who was helping me troubleshoot from his drive home and who was completely at his wits' end, said TELL ME WHO THEY ARE, because he's got friends in Eugene who need a trusted resource. This is a trusted resource. Jess made sure I knew how to get logged back in now that I had a new Intel card, and I'm back in business. I have had to deal with Geek Squad and plenty of other folks over the years often to very questionable outcomes. As a journalist, I am done without a working laptop. Affordable understood my issue, and handed me back my laptop in much better shape than when I turned it in. I can't give anyone a more heartfelt set of five-star kudos than this. And please give the dog an extra scritch for being such a great greeter. Just for the record: NONE of this is AI-generated. Real person, real review.

I could start with the incredible amount of professionalism I received when recently dealing with a perplexing (frustrating) situation. I had an important & relatively high end piece of hardware start to abruptly fail. No bueno, because it's essential part of my work. I had originally thought that my issue would be rectified by a quick repair and was going to be relatively cheap... but it turned out to be a headache. One component failure led to another and sooner than I thought I was at a dead end. Enter Adept Computer Services. From the second I met the owner / lead tech I knew that I had come to the right place. Let's call him "Jake". Though the shop was tucked away off Polk, I could tell the company meant business based off the amount of rigs currently being serviced in the shop. Jake's attitude was extremely professional and personable. Plus, he had a dog. He listened to my issues, formulated a repair strategy, and set a realistic expectation on the possible complications and resolutions. We did indeed have a few complications along the way (originally thought it was related to motherboard, ended up being the processor), and through it all Jake was steadfast in updating me and keeping me in loop. After the whole ordeal he even offered me a generous discount for the longer-than-expected finish date. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and the service (or price for that matter). I rarely rate anything with five stars, but "Jake" and Adept Computers truly deserve it. Absolutely outstanding technical skill and service to match. Whether you're a small business or an average consumer, I would 100% recommend Adept Computers for any of your IT needs. I say that with the utmost confidence. Do yourself a favor when you're in need and give them a call. You'll be happy with the results. 5 stars.

After Adept saved me for the fourth time*, I figured a 5-star review was the least I could do for…read morethem. We've all been there: over-worked, under-motivated, out-computered. Am I right? Last week I experienced my official, THIRD, mechanical hard drive failure. There's nothing in this world that makes my voice quiver, reduces my knees to jell-o, and causes me to break out in a cold sweat quite like the death rattle of my insufficiently backed-up hard drive. I think this fear stems from the loss of my undergraduate thesis many moons ago. As an undergraduate, a failed hard disk meant re-typing hundreds of pages in the Oregon State computer lab in the basement of Kidder. No Adept for me at that time! But now, with the comforts of a disposable income and the knowledge that data retrieval is imminently possible, I find refuge in the services of Adept Computing. In two out of three attempts, my data were safely transferred to a new hard drive for a reasonable price between $100 - $150. All three times, Adept has been available, competent, fair, and timely with their services. Unfortunately for me, on this most recent occasion, the data from an external hard drive were not able to be salvaged by Adept. This meant I had to ship my paper weight off to Tennessee for dismemberment in a "clean room," with hopes that for a higher price ($700 - $2000) the data can be recovered. Gulp. So the moral of this story is two-fold: (1) I apparently break computers more than the average Jane and need to find a place for secure and confidential home backups (anyone have any suggestions?) (2) Adept is quite facile at solving nearly all computer gaffs quickly and for a good price. They are a great "plan B" for those of us who find ourselves in situations where we are outmatched by our machines. *For interested readers concerned about what the fourth "save" was, it included a re-formatting of an old hard drive for use on a new machine.

A couple months ago, my Marantz 2265 receiver just wasn't exciting me much anymore. It sounded kind…read moreof anemic. I wasn't sure if it was the receiver, if it always sounded that way, or if it was my ears. Then the left channel went out. My first thought was, time to get the L channel repaired and list it on eBay. So I took it to Cityview to get repaired. Tai (the owner, I think) called me back the very next day and gave me the diagnosis, repair time, and total cost, all of which seemed completely reasonable. The time frame was a few weeks, but only because he needed to order a part, otherwise it would have been finished within a week or two. After he called to inform me it was finished and ready for pick-up, I brought it home, hooked it up, tossed Dark Side of the Moon (good test lp because of the low lows, high highs, and soaring midrange crescendos) side A on the turntable, and was so shaken (literally, the walls were shaking, and figuratively) by the massive and rich sound (that only 70s receivers can deliver) filling the room that I instantly declared that I will never sell this receiver. With just a few repairs, Tai restored my machine to its glory days. Turns out the receiver was getting sick before the L channel went out, and then I realized vintage gear like this needs a periodic check-up and tune-up. Tai's rates are VERY reasonable. If you have some vintage gear in need of a simple servicing or bigger repair, Tai at Cityview is the guy! I have another vintage piece I'm already planning to take down there after work this week. Cheers.
