We initially went to MicroCenter Tustin to purchase a PC for my son. We were going to get the parts there and have MC build it. After meeting with Mario and pricing out the parts and build for a new PC, it was clear the PC purchase would have been over budget. Mario recommended a prebuilt PC from them called PowerSpec. He showed us the G535 and it had everything we wanted in a gaming PC but for almost $500 off the retail price if we had PC built. I asked why was it cheaper and Mario told us the PC was built before the rise in prices on the memory and GPU. We then met with James Tran who showed us the G535. I noticed they had an open box PC. James explained to us the open box was a return for resale at a cheaper price. It was $100 cheaper. We bought the PC and took it home. Unfortunately all was not well with the PC. When playing two different games, (Marvel Rivals & Ark: Survival Ascended) the PC freezes for 10 seconds and reboots to the desktop. I tried troubleshooting by playing two different Benchmarks and lowering the GPU graphics, deleting and reinstalling updated drivers and lowering video resolutions but to no avail. Every time my son would play the games the PC froze and rebooted. This lead me to believe there are hardware issues with the PC. Luckily the PC was still within their 14 day return policy for returns, exchanges and refunds. We decided we did not want to have their techs try to diagnose the problem with the PC and just return and exchange for a new one. MC's return and exchange process was very simple. You go online to their website, log into your account and file a return. You are given a QR code and just then head to MC. When we arrived (the nearest MC is Tustin which is 2 hours away), we met with James Tran again who helped us with the process. I explained to James what the issues were with the PC. He told us the option of walking over to their Tech area of the store and having their guys try and diagnose the PC. I told James we would rather just exchange it for a new one. James understood our situation and spoke with his manager who allowed us to exchange the return for a new PC at the open box price so we did not have a to pay the difference. MicroCenter staff especially their managers (forgot their names) along with Mario and James Tran were awesome. They truly satisfied our experience at their Tustin store and made our teenager son very happy. So far everything is working properly with the replacement PC. I'll do a follow up if things change. Thank you again MicroCenter! read more

Micro Center partners with a non-profit called Compudopt to accept computers/desktops/laptops in working condition to be refurbished and distributed to families in need. I wanted to donate my MacBook to someone in need and this looked like a promising solution. I was worried that making a visit on the weekend to their tech bar for the donation process would be really busy and result in a long wait, but to my surprise I was helped very quickly! Queueing and "checking out" was quick, as the team member just needed to register my device and provided me with a receipt for tax purposes. read more

Micro Center used to be a pilgrimage for me when I lived further inland for college. But it was worth it. My first PC build contains majority parts from here and this place is like my Disneyland lol. Today, I switched to the dark side and got an Apple product. Just an iPad starter kit --magic keyboard, pro pen, and last gen M3 iPad Air. I didn't want to waste my time at an Apple store, knew they had the items in stock and was able to locate an associate fairly easily. Shoutout to Jonathan Garcia for being pleasant help today. Sometimes the associates are overly enthusiastic to help or you can tell they just want their survey barcode on the product you're taking to the register. I usually don't mind having worked retail myself, but it can be frustrating when the assistance doesn't feel like a genuine experience. Jonathan didn't try to upsell me aggressively, located the products I needed and verified compatibility, explained their protection packages, and even offered to discount my item. He walked me over to the checkout line and proceeded with a successful handoff. 10/10 associate right there. Management and customers, Jonathan is your guy! read more

Visited for the first time. Definitely one of the remaining electronics stores, especially for building your own PCs. There's a lot here!

I was referred to micro center by a friend and don't know too much about building a pc. I walked in and went to the build your own station where I met Shen. I told him my budget and exactly what I wanted and he helped me and explained everything to me while picking the parts out. Shen also showed me a variety of cases and ended up pairing me with the exact one I wanted and it was well within my budget. While he picked out the parts, he introduced me to Eric A. who showed me so many different kind of mouses and keyboards to test out. He was very patient and worked with me to find the perfect one for me! I really appreciated the time and effort he took to do that. Afterwards, I headed back over to the tech center to meet Gianni who checked all my items out and assured me he was going to build me my dream build I made with Shen! Overall, I had such a great first experience with Microcenter and felt extremely welcomed and assisted perfectly. Looking forward to making future purchases. read more

I can honestly and truthfully recommend Micro Center. I'm simply a business owner that that a needs a new laptop very couple of years. Micro Center has more than satisified all my needs. I will say this though. If you go there to buy any computer product, look for Sales Associate Sterling Lytch. he has been my 'go-to' guy several times. He is professional, patient, and makes it easy to purchase the right product for the job! read more

I live in San Diego and had been wanting a gaming PC for a long time. I've always been a console gamer, so I did my research--and everything pointed me toward Micro Center. I called customer support with a million questions, as someone who knew very little about PCs. I was connected with Steven Nava, and I can't say enough good things about him. He was patient, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and made thoughtful recommendations to help me choose what best fit my needs. From the computer to the keyboard, mouse, and monitor, Steven made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Micro Center. If you get the chance to work with Steven, ask him about your PC questions and needs. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is like a not as fun to go to Fry's if that makes any sense. I will never forgive late stage capitalism for taking away my fun super themed and unique architecture electronics store for minimalism NPC slop, but that's neither here nor there. I have seen the giga lines for Micro Center during the graphics card boom. Horrifying, but I feel like that's what mostly contributes to the super low ratings here, and a LOT of them, mind you. But it also might be due to people malding at spending a lot of money on something that didn't work for them. I was here window shopping, we are not the same. Plenty of parking the Saturday afternoon that we went. There was staff everywhere in every section, 2-3 of them even, who were ready and there to answer questions or guide you to where you need to go. Definitely a tech nerd's paradise if anything. They have a Tech Bar there, a station to build your own computer, and I think the most unique thing that they have here is the extensive in person shopping for 3D printers and the different color filaments, if you're into that as a hobby. There's things for gamers (even a lot of set up for gaming racers - a lot of which I have never seen before then), people who like to build and DIY things, consumer electronics, and even figurines and toys, for kids who are there too, I suppose. Not bad to peruse through. read more

I stopped by the tech bar with my little brother and his girlfriend. We brought a giant cart with a Gaming PC, Asus Zephyrus Duo and PS5 for some advice and pricing on repairs. Ryan took a ton of time out of his day to help me out. I really appreciate his help despite me not purchasing anything or getting any repairs done that day. As a Car Salesman, that really earned my respect and he was great to work with. I'll be coming back to get all my repairs with him from now on. Thank you Ryan!! Keep up the great work!! read more

Micro Center is my go-to spot whenever I need video or audio equipment. Their customer service is consistently excellent--knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely helpful without being pushy. They usually have very good sales, and even their regular prices are competitive. The product selection is massive. You'll find everything from 3D printers and PC components to immersive gaming systems and professional audio/video gear. Honestly, it's hard to walk in here and not leave with something. Whether I go in with a specific need or just to browse, I almost always find something worth buying. Highly recommended if you're into tech, gaming, or content creation. read more

Josh and the team deserve 6 stars for their service tonight... I hate dealing with problems and they made it no problem Thank you. read more

I give it 5 stars because there are sooooooo many electronic things here! Tons of different Phone cases, 3D Printers, Laptops, Keyboards and Headphones etc. So many brands here!! Full disclosure I am not tech savvy and I came here with my hubby...he's the tech savvy one. :) Price wise I can't tell you if they are more expensive or not. But I can say is...if you need something for your computer, this place should hopefully have it. This place reminds me of Fry's Electronics but 2.0...without those themed design in store. Like seriously there were tons to look at! No worries...there are workers here to help you if you have questions. They were very nice. read more

Thomas helped us find a new PC, and we couldn't be happier! He was very knowledgeable and helped us get exactly what we needed. We drove all the way from San Diego, and he made the trip worth it! We'll definitely go back to Thomas for any future computer needs. Highly recommend! read more

Micro Automatically renewed a subscription. I immediately questioned charge. Didn't take off the charge. Stopped auto billing but kept first payment. Terrible customer service. Do not subscribe to a service or they will automatically charge even though replied immediately. read more

I purchased a new laptop from Micro Center. There were unacceptable issues with the unit from the beginning. Managers Will and Josh helped to resolve all the issues to my satisfaction. Thank you Will and Josh read more

I make the trip to Micro Center once in a blue moon, and recently came here with my husband because he needed some thermal paste ASAP. We were hoping for more variety and higher quality options, but did manage to find an acceptable MX-4 one in a box of a bunch of random ones stored all together above the shelves where most of them were displayer. I think they have pretty decent pricing, came here once to take advantage of a really good deal for a 3D printer for like $100 and have gotten some decently priced filament here. Parking gets kind of tight on the weekends. read more

Gs Brandon, manager Brandon, and May supervisor, thank you. I came back because I left my DPI Cable and HDMI when I returned a computer and they replaced them no questions asked with new ones. Unbelievable satisfied. You guys truly care for your customers. Thank you plus Heyde, she was great at the end. Brandon Q and Brandon Vu held it down. Seriously you guys all rock. Pay raise? read more

Great spot to get tech and browse the aisles. It's good to see an electronics store still in business. Staff are friendly and extremely helpful. read more

Been here a few times and always pretty disappointed. I only go here because they carry the filament I need for the 3D printer and occasionally they have some parts for it too. But I will 100% say they are not disabled person friendly. If you have seen my other reviews then you know I'm disabled and use forearm crutches to walk. While this store does have an electric shopping cart. Or EcV with basket. It is usually not charged and it is falling apart. The store has ONE. Only one and it is completely falling apart. Some of the aisles are not accessible in the cart either. Now let's move on to the staff. While the manager will tell you they have 5 people in the 3D printing area I can rarely seem to find 1. When I do happen to run into somone they will tell me they are way too busy to help me out or be downright rude when asking them about inventory of an item. They have told me to just scan the sample color strip and wait for it to open on the machine. They have this machine on the wall that stores most of the filament and will retrieve the color and type you want. Well that's all great in theory. If the machine was loaded properly with the colors and type of filament in the right location. That doesn't seem to happen often. Now there is some good stuff. They have a nice supply of other items. Similar to maybe what Fry's electronics use to be but on a much smaller scale. You are definitely going to pay a high price here. Most things have been marked up incredibly high. But I mean you're paying to get it then and there. They have some things with decent prices. So make sure you are checking the prices at other places before you commit to spending $25 for a pair of pliers that can be purchased elsewhere for $4.99. Exact same product and packaging. All in all go here if you MUST. Otherwise avoid at all costs. The staff is minimal, untrained and rude. The disabled access is not the greatest. The best thing about this place. They had a restroom and it was clean. read more

I bought a MacBook Pro laptop and it was not opening at its best. Took it to knowledge Counter to have it repaired. Lilly and Luis were incredibly attentive and helped me figure it all out. I was one of the smoothest experience I've ever had at a tech place. They were attentive and so professional. Great job micro center. It's no wonder your business is constantly packed. Thank you for making me feel like a valued customer. You've got my loyalty. read more

This is now my third computer purchase from Micro Center, and experiences like this are why I continue coming back. I was having some frustrating issues getting my previous computer fixed, but Josh Krycerick stepped in and went above and beyond to get the situation resolved. He took the time to understand what was going on, worked with me to find a solution, and genuinely made sure I was taken care of. I ultimately ended up purchasing a new Samsung laptop from Micro Center, and I couldn't be happier with how Josh handled everything. Customer service like this is what keeps people coming back. Josh turned a frustrating situation into a great experience and has definitely earned my continued business with Micro Center. read more

I had a damaged MacBook screen and Apple didn't have any appointments for about a week out from the date I called into to Apple to schedule a repair. Thus, I was diverted to Micro Center. They seem to be a modern day Fry's Electronics. Upon checking in my laptop, there was a mandatory selection to either purchase 1TB or 2TB to back up the laptop in case it is wiped clean. The alternative is to select "no, o don't want my data". That was scary for me and Josh saved the day and helped get through that option without having to select no. He went above and beyond to ensure I was able to check my laptop in. Turnaround time was quick and pick up was easy. Thanks Josh. read more

I really loved everything about this store, however I brought my T14s gen3 in for a screen replacement. I agreed to the $300. I was asked to run my card for $50. Before I did, I asked if it went towards the cost of the replacement as they had to order the part. He said no it's in addition, a diagnostic fee. So I bring it in for a screen replacement and they want to charge me to diagnose it. Diagnose what? I asked for the screen to be replaced I didn't ask for a diagnosis. I thought this micro center not best buy geek squad! read more

Worst customer service experience. We stopped by around 1:30 p.m. looking to purchase an all-in-one desktop computer. The store was not very busy, yet it was difficult to find anyone willing to assist us. We noticed an employee, Sebastian G., who appeared to be avoiding customers. Since no one else was available, we approached him for help. Unfortunately, the interaction was disappointing. Sebastian was short in his responses, seemed uninterested in assisting us, and did not appear knowledgeable about the products we were asking about. As a result, we left without making a purchase. We then went to Best Buy, where the customer service was significantly better. The staff there were friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help, making for a much more positive shopping experience. read more

First experience wasn't the best but came in again today and had an awesome experience that's to Jose Diaz and Josh Krycerick who made my second experience amazing I even walked out with a new 3d printer! Thanks again to them read more

Lots of items for your technical needs - computer, phone and diy desktop... good customer support and technical experience.

I had an excellent experience at Micro Center and want to thank Nick (technician), Josh and Rose (managers), and Kevin (sales associate) for their outstanding customer service. After upgrading my Microsoft Surface Pro X to the latest version of Windows, I discovered that I didn't have enough storage space to use my computer properly. The team quickly assessed my situation and helped me upgrade the SSD, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Everyone was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to ensuring I was taken care of. They completed the upgrade in a timely manner, answered all of my questions, and made sure I was completely satisfied with the results. It's rare to find a team that goes above and beyond the way they did. Thank you, Nick, Josh, Rose, and Kevin, for the exceptional service. Highly recommended! read more

Micro Center - Computers Near Me - Tustin, California

I used to love this place in Tustin off Edinger until I went in there to buy a gaming PC and after telling the sales guy that I don't know a lot about specs and asking him what a good pc model was he recommends this power spec g460, I specifically asked him if it was a current model because I didn't wanna get something that was gonna be outdated and obsolete right away. I nearly bought it in the spot but decided to sleep on it before dropping a couple thousand dollars thank God! Because after researching it I found out this model was released over 8 years ago WTF. I've blown a ton of cash at this place and I'm gonna think twice before buying anything else there and I would recommend that you do your homework before buying anything there based on any of the sales people's input. read more

Not all computer stores are dead! I don't know why I haven't been here before. Maybe because it looks so industrial? On the inside, it's 100% retail and reminded me of a mix of Fry's Electronics and the old Comp USA. If you need computer parts RIGHT NOW, this is the place. You can even build your own computer from scratch, and I mean build as in put it together yourself. Think IKEA computers. But they also have a good number of ready-to-go systems, especially for gamers who want a powerful desktop. Where they fail is in customer service on the floor. I was ready to buy if I could find the right machine. I stood there in the desktop section, actually taking the cover off computers, because I needed space/power for two more hard drives. You would it would be a red flag that I have some questions. Instead, they just walked on by like it's normal for people to be taking apart their displays. Anyway, I did find what I wanted, but I could get it cheaper, along with more storage, straight from the manufacturer, so I skipped the purchase. Still, if I need emergency parts that Best Buy doesn't have, this will be my go-to. read more

Husband and I went in to set up our office space, and just amazed at the great selection they have. I got a Yunzii Cake keyboard for myself, while my husband got a whole new set up from scratch (keyboard, desktop, monitor the whole schbang). After setting up at home, hubby took my advice and we went to exchange the desktop for something more high performance, and the return/exchange process at Micro Center was just a nice breeze. The guys in the floor definitely were very knowledgeable and helped to pick out great specs within our budget. read more

Located on Edinger and Del Amo Avenues with plenty of parking. This is the only full-on computer store that I know of, and I love having Micro Center around. Big selection of all computer parts, software, gaming supplies, electronics, printer ink, etc. My husband is a DIY computer enthusiast, so this is his go-to store. We've also ordered online and simply picked up at the store. They have a 'Build-Your-Own' area and a 'Tech-Bar' for computer support. Shout out to Baldwin, who assisted us on the floor. He was very attentive and helped us find the right computer parts with such a great attitude. Excellent customer service! It has always been a great experience here and will definitely return. read more

Went here a few months ago because I was having issues with my PC. Took it in for diagnostics and was told that it was just Windows being glitchy with their new updates and was charged $180 total for diagnostics and reinstall of Windows. About a week or two later, I had the same issues come up so I took it back and they tested it again and I was informed that my GPU was basically dying/dead. Had to pay another diagnostic fee. I went ahead and bought another GPU to replace. While they did technically find the root issue, it took them multiple times to find out it was the GPU, which meant they didn't thoroughly check each component the first time. You would think they would but unfortunately not, and it ended up costing me more through the extra diagnostic fees. Overall I would give them a 2.5. They did end up finding and solving the problem but I felt like they could have done way better and found out my GPU was defective the first go around. read more

I really wish I remembered the guys name that helped me out. He had long dark hair in a pony tail, wore glasses, and had a tan complexion. He was in the build your own section too. Anyways, such a nice guy and helped me finish the build parts to my PC. I'm unknowledgeable and new to all this, but he made it a fun and friendly environment. He knew my price range on the parts I needed and made sure to stay within it even when offering suggestions. I drove all the way out from Palm Springs for these computer parts and I don't regret it at all. Thank you! read more

Last month I came in to buy a prebuilt gaming pc with my husband and we had no idea what we were looking for and luckily Seth Carmody stepped in and answered all our questions, he was very efficient and knowledgeable with everything we were amazed and we left extremely happy with a new pc!

I am writing to report a deeply upsetting experience I had at your Tustin store with one of your cashiers. I brought an item to the register, and the price scanned differently than what I was told on the sales floor. While my son went back to find the floor employee to clarify the pricing, I asked the cashier if I could look at the product to read the specifications. The cashier refused to let me see the item and stated that she would not hand it to me because I "might run away with the product." Being treated like a thief and publicly humiliated while trying to spend my money at your store is completely unacceptable. This is a severe lack of customer service and professional training I understand policy regarding certain items the cashier could have said I'm not allowed to give it to you until you pay for it I can understand that but what she said was horrible everything else went fine during my visit all the stuff was exceptional thanks to the guy that recommended my new graphics card read more

Micro Center is also my go-to when it comes to technology. Black friday was insane. The line was super long going in amd checking out. However, sales associates were very helpful and made our journey smooth. Within an hour, we completed our purchase.

This store feels massive and stocked with literally any computer part you could think of, plus other electronics. I came here with my partner because he wanted to get some items to build a computer, and found out that they price matched, even with Amazon products! There's a ton of workers here who are very knowledgeable on any kind of electronics question, so you'll have people that can help you. I'm someone who doesn't care for electronics as much, my iPhone and Macbook is good enough for me, so the store felt a bit overwhelming. It also looks like they have a help desk here, for you to get help on broken products, or just to get tutorials on using your products. This location also has plenty of parking just for the business. If you're looking for an electronic store with good deals and helpful workers, you'll probably want to go to this one. read more
