The back wall is packed to the brim with so many sets that I've lost count - I think the Time Spiral block. Their single selection is also one of the best in the area, with many cards of all rarities. The owner's a nice guy too, and their prices are fair. If you're into Magic, you have to go.

I recently ran into a dire situation where my Mac laptop failed to turn on. My job as a real estate…read moreagent depends on having access to countless documents and files necessary to conduct daily work. To make matters worse, I was facing a closing in two days and all the documents I needed pertaining to that closing were on my computer. I purchased a new laptop at the Apple Store but was told they could do nothing about repair or data transfer. The option Apple suggested after spending over $1,000 was to ship out both my new and old laptop for data transfer to providers out of state, which could take days or weeks to reconcile. I didn't have that kind of time. I needed my laptop back ASAP. I was referred by a friend to Overnight PC Repair in Methuen, where I promptly stopped in to explain to Sean, the owner, my predicament. He was calm, professional and reassuring, telling me he would take a look and get back to me within a couple hours. When I spoke to him later that day, he told me that while he couldn't salvage my original laptop, he could indeed do a data transfer to my new one. He said he would need the night to do it but as promised, the next day, I picked up my new laptop containing all my existing documents and data. I was able to make my closing without missing a beat. I am extremely grateful to Sean for the quick turnaround and professional service he provided. I would absolutely recommend Overnight PC Repair in Methuen to anyone who experiences problems with their computer. Within a day or so I was able to get back to my normal work routine with minimal downtime. Plus, the cost was very affordable for the miracle he worked. Thank you!

I have to update this review to mention…read morerepairs and tune-ups in the past years of dealing with Boston Data were preformed in a timely fashion for a very reasonable cost. You can get a new computer at the big box stores and deal with the Geek Squads or return it when there's a glitch and they will send it out to be fixed for $$$$$. Or, you can go to a place that fixes your machine in house for a price you can afford and if it is old and beyond repair they will find you another computer that is affordable and works just fine. Nothing lasts forever and with so many nasty little viruses out there in cyberspace that are always lurking, one or two are bound to find their way in. I'm on my 4th used machine purchased from this company and will not go anywhere else. Thank you Boston Data!

I recently purchased a hidden gem at Grolen Computers. A…read moreUSED, Excellent Condition HP Pavilion 27" IPS Touch Screen All In One PC. It was $400. The same PC is listing for $950 on ebay. New, it is listing for $2000 on Amazon. It had a small SSD, and an Optane 16gb NVMe PCIe M.2 Drive. I removed the SSD that was in it and replaced it with a 500gb PNY SSD. I downloaded the Optane Management software, and used it to deactivate the Optane feature, basically converting the M.2 slot into a usable NVMe PCIe M.2 Hard Drive slot which I used for a secondary drive internally. It has 2 USB "C" high speed ports, and 3 Gen 1 USB 3.1 ports. The really nice thing is that it has HDMI "IN" & HDMI "OUT". By using the buttons on the right side of the monitor, I can use the HDMI "IN" port for my laptop's second screen, and the computer does not even have to be powered on to do this, just use the middle button on the right side to use this machine just as a monitor. I also upgraded the BIOS, and can now use 32GB of 2666mhz DDR4 ram from my old gaming laptop. I also use a stylus to work directly on the touch screen to do my digital art and photo manipulations in GIMP and Inkscape. The sound bar built into the front of this machine has very good quality sound.

I've been a frequent customer here for years now. Without question, this is THE place for all of…read moreyour IT needs! Their service and knowledge base are outstanding, but let me tell you why Beverly Computer is unique and incredible. 1. Confortable Familiarity. Unlike most businesses today, every time you call or stop by you will see the same faces. After awhile, they are like an extension of your family and they are part of the local neighborhood. That's the way it was years ago, and we've lost that personal touch as a society. It's always Paul and Steve and never some "new kid, fresh out of school," who has no clue who you are and could care less. You won't find this anywhere else today. 2. Honesty. I became a devoted customer when years ago I went running in to by something and instead of making a rather substantial sale, they were truthful and told me I did not need it and saved me hundreds. They earned both my business and my appreciation after that. See if you get that treatment at a major chain store? lol 3. Integrety and Trust. You can be assured that your equipment will be safe and cared for and ANY information that you may have on your machine will be kept private and between you and Beverly Computer. Again, this is from personal experience. They are 100% trustworthy. Would you have the kind of faith with a technician that you did not know and had not developed a personal/ business relationship with? I met Paul and Steve, when a virus crashed my computer and I was panicked and terrified. I didn't know where or who to turn to, up here on the North Shore. I am so glad that I went down to Bev. Comp. They saved my machine and recovered all of my data. You can be assured that they will do the best they can for you at a very resonable and fair price. Even if I move from the North Shore, out of state or anywhere...I would travel back to Beverly Computer and would go any distance to deal exclusively with Paul and Steve. I have that much faith in their service. Lastly, if you're reading this now...do not hesitate, get down there today, or give Paul a phone call. You'll sleep much better knowing your IT needs are in the hands of the best and most trusted service on the North Shore.

After a forced overnight Microsoft update that may have gotten stuck, my battery was completely run down. Not sure why, since power adapter worked. For some reason, my laptop powered up 'at the shop' rather than my home, but once restart was accomplished there, and battery was sufficiently recharged to take home, everything was all better. (My power adapter checked out fine.) I supposed I could have figured it out eventually (jiggled plugs, etc), but the 'it works now at the shop' seems to be what was needed. The in-shop review of computer health was useful. Rate charged was reasonable, as was free advice on what to buy next and where.

On countless occasions he has saved us from having to get new laptops or desktops. Regarding some of the negative comments here. Dave doesn't Whine, (that's pretty laughable).... and it's hard to believe that he charges for work that he doesn't' do. The man is as honest as they come, and is more than capable...
