Purchased a custom build computer at the Marietta, GA location and less than two months later, the GPU is bad. Tried to call to find out my options and only received a looped message and zero actual support. Will never buy another custom build there if that is what they think customer service is. read more

Love it. Lots of cool tech in stock. Very competent sales assistants. The only thing that would have made it perfect is shipping. They do not ship orders so you have to pick them up. I live in NV and the closest store is in GA. read more

High prices. Only carries higher priced options. I came in looking for a 120w replacement charger for my laptop. They only carry one multi adapter. They do not carry MSI parts. I asked if they could do a simple continuity test on my power supply- they told me no, I need to bring in my laptop and they would hook up one of thiers to see if mine is faulty... FOR FOURTY DOLLARS. WHAT A RIP OFF! I can buy one for $30.00, do the same test and return it loding NOTHING if it doesnt work! I can buy a continuity tester for about $12.00 and test it myself for free! I have a continuity tester but its in storage. I just so happen to be driving by here, going to Best Buy to find a replacement and saw this place. Ill just keep driving by. $40.00 to plug a power supply to my laptop - ridiculous. Those guys werent doing a damn thing when I arrived, probably because of those prices. read more

This is a great place for most things electronic. The service staff is very good too. Will continue to come here as I have for years. Five Stars. read more

Do not buy things here. You cant return them. The 15 day returns are a joke. Nobody has that kind of time commitment. Two mothns ago they suckered me into buying a premium grade display $149 over online price that is not compatible with macbook laptop. Went in to the store with packaged product and receipt, asked for store credid and they would not honor the return. Stared looking at networking products, all on average 15% over retail market average. Honestly some brick and mortar dinosaurs like this dont deserve to be supported. Amazon to the rescue. I will line Besos' pockets in exchange for decent customer service. read more

So, Apple sent me here to get warranty service today. I've had a machine that has never worked. Apple has had the machine multiple times. Was told by Apple that this place would be able to fix it quicker. We get there..spoke with the rudest guy on the planet named Jessie. He was argumentative and said there would be a charge for diagnostics and that no one could see an Apple machine until January 10. We already know what's wrong and Apple has tickets and info in not to mention this machine is under full warranty. Nope this guy kept his hands behind his back..without even looking or listening or looking in their system to see what the Apple ticket stated. We live no where near here. Epic waste of time. Store looks dirty and simply huge waste of time. Avoid this place for service at all cost. read more

So while they have a good supply of items...their techs that check people in need a MAJOR customer service class. I have been coming here for over 25 years and the people at the service center (which we use it's it part of our warranty) are almost always a major downer. I always ask myself...why am I giving them money when I feel like badly about coming when I walk outside the store? They probably are not the only gig in town, so guess it's a matter of finding a new place. Advise for management in corporate - get everyone - including your Service Manager major customer service training. They don't know what they don't know. read more

This place is definitely my preferred place to shop for all things computer. Needed a new laptop and stopped at Best Buy as it was closer to me, but ultimately left as the associate was unable to answer any questions outside of the very very basics which are already printed in the label. Scooted over to micro center and found a laptop with the specs I needed and a faster processor for a much more reasonable price than at Best Buy and the associate that helped me (Don?) was very helpful and knowledgeable. He listened to what I needed and didn't push me in things I didn't need after I declined them; he was very helpful. As we were leaving, the store manager Ron, gave us his card and let us know to call if we had any other questions. I've shopped at Micro Center for years. My dad who has been in IT since IT became thing always shops there. Always my first stop for anything computer related. read more

Long regarded as a technological supply-haven for us tech-nerds, Micro Center is really good at helping you get what you may need for nearly all the technology you have. Mobile phones, cameras, tablets, Apples, parts, parts, and more parts. Even toys, games, power supplies, cables for every conceivable orifice, and t-shirts. Not to mention gadgets. It's all here. Sometimes the things I'm looking for are not here. (Like a folding, bluetooth keyboard with a carrying case.) The prices are generally good, but sometimes I feel they could be a little more competitive. Here's where I have to tell you about one employee I met today named Jason. I had been pointedly waiting around for some help--and waiting for quite some time until I finally flagged someone down and said, "Can I get some help getting some questions answered?" Shortly thereafter, Jason showed up. This fellow really hustled to make sure I got what I needed. He was fast. He was thorough. He put the things I needed in my hands. I wish Jason worked for me. read more

UDPATE: James is diligent in his responses - but still giving misinformation - though I would imagine that he's simply relaying info from the manager. He said his manager was unable to find it in stock online anywhere except at New Egg for $259. And they would match that price. Not sure why - on Saturday, Feb 13 - Google showed it IN STOCK at Dell.com for $249 and Staples for $179. Salesperson Allen even acknowledged this on the phone. But now - thru some sort of revisionist history - I guess my Google searches magically find better deals. Either way - got the printer from Staples and the camera from Best Buy - so I'm a happy camper. Staples even lowered the price again Monday - and when I called - they credited my account $60 additional dollars to match the sale price even though they'd sold out at that point! Yay - Staples! ***************************************** Horrible customer service. After calling and holding for more than 34 minutes, finally talked to Allen. I wanted to price match a "printer / all in one" for my Mother. Best Buy had the printer - but the closest store was in Alpharetta and they were out of stock online. And Staples only has it online. First Allen tells me, "Sure - we can price match - just let me confirm the SKU." Then he comes back on the line to tell me he can't. No explanation. So I ask for a manager. At this point Allen gives me vague explanation about the difference being too great to price match. I ask if I can talk to a manager - again. Transferred me to John. First, he tells me he can't because according tot he website, Best Buy doesn't have it any brick and mortar stores. I told him that the Cumberland Best Buy had confirmed that the Alpharetta store has two in stock. John tells me it's a still a big fat no go. He tells me that Best Buy probably marked them down because they're about to stop selling them. When asked - he says he can go down to $274 (their price is $299) but if he goes any lower, he will be losing money because the product cost him $274. Keep in mind, it retails on Dell.com for $229. And only an idiot would believe that Microcenter is only marking the printers up by $25. On a whim - I compared the price of the Logitech 920 webcam I was purchasing as well - and it's $20 more than Best Buy and $10 more than Staples. I used to deal with Micro Center - just bought a Night Owl DVR there last month - because even though the customer service was lacking - my last laptop purchase was a nightmare* - the savings always made it up for it. Now - it appears that they've combined crappy customer service with overpriced merchandise. I'm sure they'll soon be going the way of the dodo bird. I wound up ordering the printer from Staples with direct shipping to my Mother's house. Then I purchased the webcam from Best Buy and picked it from brick and mortar Cumberland location. Thanks for nothing, Microcenter (except wasting my phone on the time today)!!! The lunatics are clearly running the asylum. Lesson learned. * purchased a Sony Vaio online - drove in to pick it up and they couldn't find it - so they refunded my money. After over an hour waiting in the store while they looked for it. Then I stupidly purchased another Sony Vaio that was supposed to be in stock at Gwinnett store - but it was supposed to be shipped to Marietta store. When it arrived, I drove in, picked it up. Got it home - and the specs were completely different. It wasn't even a touch screen. Had to drive all the way back to store to return it. read more

See all

In short, Micro Center is tale of two stores. The retail portion is uproariously funny, with folks who don't want to help you scattered about, more interested in catching up with each other than helping customers. the cashier line was 15 people deep, too. But this place saved my crashed hard drive, and in turn, my bacon. Their technicians are some of the most skilled in the city, so if you ever run into a technology problem, this is the place to go. I was able to learn why and how my drive crashed, got the data on an external HD, and I was on my way. But for some of the commodity stuff, definitely go online and buy it there instead. read more

These people sold me a very expensive computer that routinely crashes playing games from the better part of a decade ago. Their technicians just gaslit me that there was nothing wrong with it and they refuse to honor their warranties. Definitely save time and money by doing business with literally everyone else. Literally being robbed of several thousand dollars at gunpoint would be preferable because at least it would have taken less time to reach the exact same outcome. read more

Micro Center - Computers Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

RIP OFF, scammers, selling defective electronics and computers. Be careful dealing business with Micro Center, their products are questionable, was sold a refurbished WAL-MART laptop, without Micro Center disclosing that important detail. I would not trust their computers, new or refurbished. The GM Andrew Burris should never be trusted. Shop at your own risk. read more

Apple users beware! Overall a very disappointing experience. Couldn't actually speak with someone on the phone so I chatted with an agent to verify that they could replace my MacBook Battery. Made an appointment, drove 1 hour, just to be told that it would be 3 days before an Apple technician could even look at it. Drove back home and received a text 3 days later telling me the repair would be 600.00 + tax which is completely ridiculous, on top of the 40.00 I paid them just to give me that quote. I declined service and took it to an Apple store where they replaced the battery for 249.00 + tax. So I have to wonder if this place is just ripping people off whenever they can. Do your homework before paying them to look at your equipment and get a second opinion. read more

Wholly wow. If you are like me and fed up with Best Buy trying to over-selladd ons and warranties and looking for a space that will help you custom build a PC within your price range. This is you Shangrila! I am blown away by the expertise, relate abilility of the staff and their customer service being direct, truly helpful and leagues above the big box stores computer solutions. read more

Great service, great choices, great prices- just can't go wrong! Highly recommend. This is my teenage son's happy place!

Don't bother coming here. I've been in the checkout line for 20 minutes now. I'm guessing I have another 10-15 before they get to me. They don't even have all the registers open. read more

Micro Center is refusing to honor their "Holiday Extended Return Policy" as posted on their website and in store. (https://community.microcenter.com/kb/articles/784-micro-center-holiday-faq) I purchased some items on 11/05/2024, which is clearly inside the "Holiday Extended Return Policy" window for purchases made between 11/1/23 and 12/25/23. I was given the runaround and told by Tyler (the manager) when I was returning the items on 1/13/2024 that I could only receive store credit or nothing at all since I did not have a gift receipt and he could not return the funds to my original form of payment (credit card) per "store policy." He acted like he was doing me a "favor" by even offering "store credit." I reviewed the written policy on the website again and no where does it say in the policy that I need a gift receipt in order to return items under the "Holiday Extended Return Policy." I do not shop at Micro Center very often and prefer that the credit is issued to my credit card instead of store credit. After this incident I am not sure I will even be back at the store to spend "store credit." read more

Been here a couple of times to pick up odds and ends I couldn't wait to get online, or when I was unsure what I needed. Prices are decent and the selection is really good, plus they seem to have plenty of competent staff on the floor. Although every time I go in there seems to be some complicated return drama underway that suggests maybe something did not go quite right for someone. But there really is nothing like it in East Cobb for computer/tech parts and do-dads. read more

Micro Center - Computers Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Whatever you do, DO NOT get your PC built by Microcenter technicians. It has been nothing but a headache since I first got it built. At first, it took a few days to build (understandable). However, once I got the PC home, the system kept crashing. I returned it to Micro Center the next day, and they said they would get it done as soon as possible. A few days pass, and I hear nothing from my technician. Finally, about five days after I dropped off my computer, they realized they just needed to replace the RAM sticks. Which is completely fine, and this would not make me write a bad review on anything. I am very understanding, and I understand people may become busy. However, a few weeks pass, and I realize one of my AIO fans is not spinning. Since the AIO is mounted to the top of my PC, I had no clue it was not working until my system kept overheating and my games began to crash. So, on 01/26/24, I took my computer back to Microcenter. I was told that they would start working on the PC on 01/27/24. Usually, the technicians keep you very informed when they are working on your stuff. However, I have not heard anything, and today is the 30th. Overall, this experience has been downright awful. You would expect to get a fully functioning, smooth-running computer when you pay $2000+. You would also expect that fixing their mistake would be #1 priority, but that has proved to be false. read more

I shop in both metro Atlanta locations. Recently, they have ever changing prices, policies, limits, and restrictions on computer parts. Apparently I violated the policy of the week and the manager was very proud of himself for catching me and stopping my purchase at the cash register. I think he thinks I will ever step foot in the store again. If you shop here ask about the policies before standing through the line. They may not want your business. I'm taking mine elsewhere. read more

Absolutely ridiculous, first the employees don't know enough to help you and then they make you stand in an impossibly long line that wraps through their section where they keep all of their garbage that nobody ever buys. And as if that wasn't bad enough then they only have three out of six registers opened while at least a dozen employees walk around playing on their phones. When I finally got to the front of the line ,after almost 40 minutes, they had misplaced the items that I had reserved and had to run around for another few minutes just to find them. Will not return! read more

Not that great, horrid customer service. Nice people but bad when it comes to honesty and customer service. Doubt I'll be back anytime soon.

Been a while since I've had the Micro Center pleasure since I think they may have quit doing business in Ohio, but definitely reminds me of that movie where the world starts falling apart when 2 certain personality types try getting near each other until music is played. Can't remember the name but great movie. Even tried to look it up just now. Too many A types in a small area. An Electrical Engineer Heaven of sorts without the glits and glam of typical retail because their clients likely don't care. I can walk in, talk to some arrogant techy for 2 seconds, and get exactly what I need when usually I have to parse google to find a retailer for my specific tech needs. They've got at least one or two of everything I could ever want. read more

Micro Center - Exchange complete easy peazy lemon squeezy - Computers Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

It's a talent to create this poor of a customer service experience. This store operates on two speeds. Slow and reverse.

Terrible customer service. The employees just walk right by you without asking to help or anything. Stood there for 15 minutes, then when I did talk to an associate they didn't have any knowledge about the products! After that I went to Best Buy read more

Amazing customer service. I have gotten my laptop fixed here, and bought a phone as well. The IT guys are so amazing and helpful. This will be my go to place from here on out. read more

I can only speak to the Apple repairs part of this business. The screen on my MacBook Pro cracked late last night so I went to make an appointment and Micro Center was the one that could get me in the quickest (10a the next morning). I drove the 25-30 minutes out there just to be told that the appointment is to drop off the computer, not for it to be serviced. Which would've been cool if it was like a 2-3 day fix, but I was told a technician wouldn't be there until August 6th, 8 days from today. As a student, it's impossible to go that long without a functioning laptop. If August 6th is when the tech would be there, why would you say you have availability before then? And who's to say the tech would even get to my laptop in the time they're at the shop? I would have to wait even longer than 8 days to truly have a repair. Many people walked in with Apple products and all were in line to realize they came out here for nothing. So, for repairs, I would urge you to stay as far away as possible and just go through Apple itself, not Micro Center. But maybe their retail isn't that bad? I don't know. read more

If your looking for cheap electrics this is a good place to stop by first, but I recommended not to get the additional warranty they offer you when you check out. My husband and I bought 2 tablets on sale for our neice and nephew. The cashier asked if we wanted to get the additional warrantees for each tablet. It would cover all damages to the tablets for 3years. It sounded great since the kids are very young. A few weeks later, the tablets cracked and wouldn't turn on. We called Micro Center to see how we could get it fixed by the warrantees. We were told they wouldn't be able to do anything for the tablets because the warrantees only cover items that are full priced. So pretty much the warratees were worthless. read more

What do I say other than this is the place of choice when I need computer parts. When my clients needs are to be met I can always find what I need here. The prices are fair and the customer service is the best I've seen. This is not the "Best Buy" experience. You know: ask a ton of questions or just ignore you. Everyone is always willing to help and when they see a crowd they up the number of checkouts. Who could want nothing better than to get what you need and they get you out. BRAVO read more

Seth was the person who helped me with my laptop. He was condescending to me and made me feel uncomfortable.

Amazing help from all the salespeople on the floor but specially Folly in computers. Thanks for the help and the laughs!

Microcenter is a national treasure. Scrolling through the negative reviews from bitter, computer illiterate people is pure comedy. No, microcenter is not a tech support service, consulting firm, or chromebook unborking concierge. For the rest of us who don't call computers CPUs, microcenter is heaven on earth. read more

Prob the best computer store in the state of ga. This place is heaven for a PC gamer. The staff is always available to help you get what ever part you need. I took off one star because their repair services are a bit pricey for simple services or things you can really learn to fix yourself. Use their online parts selector to find compatible pieces and did some research online before coming in. They are great for if you do not want to wait to get a specific pc part and need something a bit more immediate. It's fairly easy to find what you are looking for as the aisles have descriptions over them and again the staff are always helpful aswell. I've become a regular customer here and always return despite not even living in the area anymore. read more

I purchased a HP desktop for my home office, The computer consistently from after about 6 months (It was refurbished and I purchased a Warranty) I returned the computer for repair, the service manager was very rude, I asked about the warranty and stated " Well if it doesn't work we'll give you your money back" I asked "How long will it take" I was told 3 days, I was very frustrated at the length of time it would take for the repair because I use it for my Business, no one cared. I received the worst service after I purchased this computer. I finally received this computer and 4 months later it has the same problem (Ironically the warranty expires next month) I was told if it is a software problem I would be charged 99.00 to reinstall the software? I purchased a new computer. I suggest if you are in the market for a gaming computer or any type of computer, look somewhere other than Micro Center. Untruthful sale people, Rude obnoxious Service Staff and very sub par computer equipment. read more

My rating stands with Microcenter. After going back and forth with them they are not honoring their extended warranty and they won't stand by their 100% satisfaction guarantee. Short clip of Twitter DM I got from them - Hello, we did speak to our Service Manager who expressed concern over this being a deeper issue perhaps cause by the GPU or settings in Windows. This could also be due to the bezel less design of the monitor as well. We were told this unit was tested and was up to Dell's standards. read more
