Had an amazing experience with ZOE at this store! She was helpful, patient and very knowledgeable !!!! Absolutely a 5 star experience !! Thank you Zoe for making our day great!! read more

They do not stand by their 14-day guarantee. I returned my 13" laptop after four days (it was too big for my hands). They would not allow me to return it. They said it was scratched: the "scratches" wiped away with a cloth. Then they said it was dented and Pono, the sales rep/manager on duty, actually said "You dropped it on the counter." Huh? No, I did not. That doesn't make sense. He lied to my face about something we both know did not happen. He did mention at another point that our conversation was being recorded, so I'm guessing he made that statement for the benefit of the recording. Shady outfit. They knew I was a tourist, and they went for the short-term profit. If, instead of fighting me, they had istened to my needs (I needed a smaller computer), they could have easily upsold me to a 12" Macbook Air or even a Macbook Pro and gotten a positive Yelp review. read more

On a visit from the mainland, my old iPhone 6 died. Audra Did a quick diagnosis and we agreed that it was a goner. She recommended I contact Apple and check with my carrier to see if they could get a discounted phone, but My phone was too old for trade-in, and my carrier, Xfinity is not on the island. I decided to buy a new phone there, unlocked so I could switch Sim cards and boot up my Xfinity service. She took care of everything, putting in the new Sim card, applying my new screensaver, and helping me upload all my apps from iCloud. They were fine with me staying there and using their Wi-Fi as the apps downloaded but after the process started I headed home to finish the process. After a couple hours at home my apps did not seem to be loading so I went back and she and Kaila helped me to disable a VPN that was not allowing my apps to download. Again, they were fine with me staying there and letting their Wi-Fi download my apps and data so I did. They checked with me occasionally to make sure I was progressing. When all was said and done, the phone works fine and all my apps are on it and I can now restart my trip. Thanks Audra and Kaila. read more

Always helpful. Not pushy. Trustworthy expertise offered. I would highly recommend. During this recent lockdown, I called ahead to see if they were open. Thankfully they were. I was able to learn that they were open and what I needed to bring in, in order to expedite services. read more

Appreciated the amazing service I received here. The staff is courteous and professional. After using Apple computers since Steve Jobs started selling them in the 1980's I really appreciate having a tech team that knows what they're doing. They helped me super fast with knowledge and skill and I had my Mac Pro back in my hands quicker than I thought I would. Thank you Mac Made Easy! read more

Pono is DA MAN!!! Excellent service with MEGA ALOHA!!! he went above and beyond and he does this every time I go in there. So appreciated! Mahalo, Dawn Shea Kapaa, HI read more

Pono went above and beyond to help me out as I was having multiple issues. I work on the road therefore my business relies on my phone. Pono was patience and thorough and got to the root of the problem by going through the process of elimination VS trying to dismiss me because the process was taking long like I had experienced through VERIZON. read more

Superb customer service!! I went in this afternoon and spoke with Chris. I didn't even have a mac that needed servicing, but I was soooooooo desperate because my non-mac-phone died and I wanted to figure out how to get the photos from it that I didn't back up. Mac Made Easy was another tech place that might have the resources I needed to solve my problem. Chris was so kind and willing to offer his help. Although I still have the problem with my dead phone, I want to acknowledge that Chris took the time to try and fix it for me. So when businesses say they service particular models or brands or products, Mac Made Easy actually services the people. That's what being part of a community is all about. Thank you, Chris, for your time, effort, and kindness! Your sense of service makes all the difference! read more

They will sell you a computer but if it doesn't work to bad your out of luck, Complaint Type: Consumer to Business Complaint Nature of complaint: Customer Service Issues Problem description: I purchased a iMac computer for $1299 from the Lihue Kauai Hi, store on by Island before the 1st year was up it started to malfunction. So I brought it in to be fixed when I got it back it still didn't work I returned 2 more times and got the same results. So I spoke to the Manager Alex, who told me they did not really have a tech repair person before but they did just hire one and he would fix it right this time. I asked Alex if my daughter could just drop it off, because I was tired of dealing with it and they assured me they had all the information. But when my daughter got there they made her wait in line and said no way. they had the same rude guy fix it as last time and it came back still broken. when I picked it up Alex told me that due to the threatening e-mails I sent I was no longer allowed in the store. I never wrote any threatening e-mails so then I contacted the owner Betty by e-mails 3 X but she never responded. they are bad buisness on Kauai. read more

Chris J Cade rescued expeditiously the data from my husband's less-than-four-year-old MacBook Air after that vital ingredient to his investment banking business would not power up on the first night of our family's four-week vacation on Kaua'i. Had Chris not diagnosed, addressed, and resolved the underlying logic board issue, that vacation would have been wrecked. When our 25-year-old son was growing up, he occasionally concocted words when his own vocabulary drew a blank: one of his invented words is "exposity": someone or something of inestimable quality. Chris J Cade is exposity. read more

I had to wait about 45 minutes to get charged 30$ for one screen protector, then the guy working (shorter filipino kid) wouldn't even put the protector on for me. If i'm paying that much i would expect the basic service of applying it for me read more

I am an 80-year-old woman and my partner is 77. Because we're not very knowledgeable about modern technology, we are often treated by sales people as if we should know more than we do. We recently we went to the Apple store in Lihue with the idea of getting some information about iPads and iPhones. And then we planned on purchasing them at Costco. A sales person by the name of Patty helped us. She was so patient, explain things so clearly, and made us feel comfortable that, a few days later we went back to see her and bought more than $2000 worth of Apple products and AppleCare. If you're not a tech wiz and you need to buy a device, I suggest you see Patty at Mac made easy in Lihue. read more

So lucky to have Mac made easy on the island. On vacation and mac died and they fixed the issue in a reasonable time. They were very friendly too. read more

Very impressed with this store the layout is clean and the staff professional. Nice place for purchasing Apple or Bose products as well other items. Matt was engaging and helped troubleshoot and resolve my issue quickly. Thanks Mac Made Easy! read more

I had great customer service with both Jordan and Chris at the store when my Mac Air just wouldn't turn on. They provided me with several options and I had time to make my decision. They were very helpful and there was no pressure for me to make a decision right away. I also appreciated the promptness that they got back to me after doing a diagnostic on my computer. We don't have too many options on Kauai and I am grateful to have a reliable option! read more

Came here as a last chance hoorah when my husband accidentally fully submerged his iPhone in the stream as we hiked through the Kalalau trail. Thank goodness for Apple Care. So we came here first thing the next morning to try and get a replacement. The store itself is located in a busy intersection in the city. They have plenty of parking in the back parking lot. Talked with one of their associates and explained the situation. He was more than understanding and tried his best to get us a replacement. Unfortunately they have to order their replacements from California. Meaning we wouldn't actually get it for another 3 business days. Fail considering we were leaving the following day. I would think that water damage is a common occurrence in any island on Hawaii. Why would a Apple provider not carry any in stock? Beats me but they really should consider that for everyone else in the future. read more

I have been to the store several times for maintenance, repair, and to shop. I am so impressed by how personable and knowledgeable the staff are. They really go the extra mile to be of service. The new tech guy is a freaking rock star!!! read more

Customer service has been very good from all of my experiences as I have purchased many products from them to include a few computers. However, my last purchase of a Mac desktop was very disturbing...after having my computer for a few months, for whatever reason I needed to check on the memory, I noticed that I was sold an old model! When at the store I asked twice as I wanted to be sure I purchased the newest computer being that I was spending almost 2K. Turns out they had the newest model displayed and I was told I was purchasing the newest but I was sold a 2 year old version without the Retina display that I thought I had purchased. With that said, to my fellow consumers, I recommend purchasing your Mac straight from Mac online. I am a big supporter of local business but unfortunately not at my expense. At the very least they will recognize their mistake and help to corrected. The best Mac Made Easy could do was offer to put my computer on consignment. Not acceptable in this instance. Most consumers like myself is not tech savvy enough to know right off the bat, that's where we put our trust in our Mac professionals right? Also, a few years back I also purchased a new external hard drive from them and when I got home to use it I found a disc already in it with the company inventory files. No big deal, I returned the disc to them and shrugged it off. Couple days later the automatic door stopped working and they allowed me to exchange it for a like model with ease. So that was a plus considering it was sold "new". read more

These guys are such a wonderful resource for our community! Every time I come in I am stoked with their high level of quality customer service and knowledge!! Thank you so much Johnathan for helping me out today! What was a very annoying problem on my computer is now clear!! read more

My Macbook Air battery started failing while on a trip to Kauai, and Mac Made Easy took great care of me. They helped get a new battery authorized under Applecare, and were able to get the shipment out from California, contact me, and pop the new one in the day before we left for three months in Asia. Thanks guys, so happy to have worked with you! read more

HORRIBLE! We were assured they had 'everything' in stock when we called about purchasing a laptop. When we arrived later, the story changed. Nope, nothing in stock. Thanks for the 1.5 hour round-trip drive for nothing. Went home, called Apple, ordered nearly $2600 worth of Apple product. Your loss. read more

When we arrived on Kauai our MacBook Air would not turn on. We made the one hour round trip drive to Lihue on Monday and we were pleasantly surprised that (a) this shop could do warranty repair, (b) they seemed professional, and (c) our Mac might get repaired before departing the island. Pickup would be convenient,right on the way to the airport. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in the end. We were told that if apart was required, the repair might not be completed. We were fine with that. Worth a shot. It was clear when we left the store that we were flying out Friday. On Wed, we called the store to make sure they were aware that our flight was leaving at noon. Later, they called to confirm that the repair would be completed on time. It needed a mother board replacement, but free with warranty. Yay!! On Thurs, we called to remind them that we would be in on Fri morning for pickup. They said it would be done. I was placed on hold for 13 minutes before having to call back. On Fri morning we called again, and they said it was done and ready for pickup. We stopped in on Fri morning. The service person got the computer and pressed the power button to demonstrate operation. Nothing. It turns out they did not do the repair and did not even order the part. At least we got the computer back. We would not have minded having the same outcome, but getting completely wrong information multiple times was unprofessional. They may do a great job, but not in this case. read more

When I first moved on island a few years ago, I wondered what I would do for my Mac needs. Luckily, there Mac Made Easy made that worry non existent. Knowledgeable, friendly, and have everything I need at a decent price. While it's not a Mac store, they are an authorized/approved retailer and even the set up kinda reminds you of a mainland Mac store. Lots of accessories for Mac, phones, etc. they had everything I need and great advice for running our two Macs at home. If you need help or products for your Mac, stop in here. read more

While visiting from California my iPhone shut off and wouldn't turn back on. I called to see if they could squeeze us in for an appointment at 4:30pm on a Saturday. Matt was very nice and talked me through some trouble shooting tips since no techs would be available til Monday. The phone turned back on and has worked since. It was super nice of him to help me over the phone since I wasn't a paying customer. If they treat their non-paying customers so well I'm thinking they treat their paying customers the same way! Mahalo!! read more

I took an apple product to them that I bought at an actual Apple Store five months earlier and the clerk said I would have to take the product back to the Apple Store. To be fair, the new Apple product was an Apple Watch, and the man behind the counter was very nice. read more

I was on vacation here and my iPad screen cracked which caused ghost writing which locked me out. The staff was so friendly and reset my iPad for me, explained my couple of options, to replace (bc it's really broken) and didn't push me to buyanything. Didn't event charge me for the factory reset. Though I left with a broken iPad still (decided to wait for home to decide what to do), I'd highly recommend their services. Very friendly and understanding. read more

This place rocks. My wife and I just moved to the island, I was under a work deadline, and my laptop tanked. Jonathan is the guy who helped me out. My video card was the problem. Jonathan gave me my best options. He was smart, polite and patient with my avalanche of questions. Mac Made Easy delivered and I'm up and running! read more

Mac Made Easy has knowledgable, friendly staff who go the extra mile. Recently Sid and the staff took great care of me during my Mac repair and I'm very grateful to know them. I use my computer as a professional artist and can testify to the high level of service and quality products available here. So glad this place exists in Kauai. read more

I put 1 star just so that I can post a review. It supposed to be NEGATIVE STARS. To Betty M (owner of Mac Made Easy). Your store and your employees suck especially "Chris" your repair guy. I hope your business shuts down because I had my MacBook repaired from you guys because "Apple Care" recommended Mac Made easy in Lihue. Anyway my laptop was repaired but nobody called me after over 1 week when it was done. I had to call and ask if it was done. There were no protocol to inspect or start up my laptop to make sure it was working or any damage was done during the repair. They just handed me my laptop and said nothing and made me sign their forms. After bringing it home I never used it because we were going on vacation and I was not planning to bring it with me so I just plugged it in to charge the battery. Came back from vacation and decided to use use my MacBook and noticed a scratch on the screen which was never there when I sent it in for repair at Mac Made Easy Lihue. Came in Monday 7 days after I got it back and "Chris" said it was to late to bring back and denied that they scratched the screen. They would not not fix it!!! Happy ending to this... I called Apple Care and they took care of the scratch. I sent it to them and within a week it was back with a "NEW" screen. Don't bring your Apple product to Mac Made Easy Lihue or do any business with them because they are just losers and NERDS that hang out at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Kapaa playing Board Games. Peace out Bitches!!! read more

Professional, Reliable service! I not only purchased my desktop here, but also get excellent help on resolving any issues I may have. Thanks Jonathan for helping me today! read more

Very pleasant people working here and willing to assist those of us who are tech-challenged!

I am so amazed by this team. My old but trusty laptop obtained a virus and they were able to clean it up, back it up & on top of that, they updated my software so I could retrieve all of my old files I thought I lost forever. They went above and beyond and completed it all in 3 hours!!! read more

We walked in with a iPhone that would not open up for use and they fixed in within minutes and we walked out with a working phone they were so very helpful and knowledgeable great place to go and they have a great selection of accessories too. read more

My daughter forgot her passcode, and yep...you guessed it, she locked herself out. We tried the hard reset, but still nothing. And since we only have Chromebooks and iPads, we couldn't hook up to iTunes to reset it. Thank goodness Mac Made Easy was open (it was a holiday, President's Day)! Got there, the friendly staff greeted us and took one look at the iPhone and said, "oh, reset?" Took the device in the back, and just like that..poof! got it to work! Such a lifesaver!! Great customer service!! I'm a happy Mama! read more

My iPhone 6 failed on a Friday morning. I went to Mac Made Easy and they confirmed my phone was dead and set me up with a loaner phone to use over the weekend.
