They were able to recover all of the data from a 2007 computer that I thought was definitely beyond saving, and even recycled the computer for me afterward! read more

I loved how fast my computer was fixed. They leave it like new. Their customer service was amazing. Will consider them for future help with my comp for sure. read more

This place deserves more than a 5 Stars, it deserves "10 Stars" in my opinion. My experienced here was Top Standard, I needed help with my broken Screen for my MacBook Pro. The staff went above and beyond at all times, Mr. Tri Dang was the person who fixed my laptop, he was very knowledgeable and he helped me with my problem. Tri did such an awesome job with my screen and I am very happy and very impressed with the end results. The process was very professional and very quick. As a first time customer, I am very satisfied with my first experience here. I highly and strongly recommend this place if you are having problem with your electronics, because you can trust them. Thank you again for fixing my laptop and thank you for having such a great and knowledgeable team working in this place. Cheers! read more

My Dell laptop's microphone wasn't working so I sent a Yelp request describing my problem. Within 3 hours I got a response. Computerland was able to look at my laptop the very next morning. Within 3 hours of me dropping they had diagnosed the problem. Their prices were very reasonable. I give Computerland of Berkeley my highest review. read more

The bar cannot be higher. The Apple Store charges a $300-350 bench fee to repair Airpod Max headphones. Hadi's team will do it for the $50 bench fee. This is computer repair like it was done in the 80s and 90s. Take your children here and let them witness how it was done in the O.G. days. Hadi and the boys at Computerland are legends. The Apple Store are dishonest thieves. Customer for life. read more

I took my surface pro in to get the battery replaced. The repair was finished promptly. The employees were very friendly and were responsive to phone calls and questions. And the computer continues to work great now some three months after the repair. Highly recommend! read more

excellent friendly Bay Area when it comes to repairing computers, phones does an excellent job you get your moneys worth

I had to get my MacBook 13-inch screen replaced and I was extremely happy to have found this place. The staff was so knowledgeable, friendly and they gave me the options for replacement, fees and found additional repairs that could be done free of cost due to Apple recall items. I dropped off my laptop on a Tuesday and it was ready by Monday the following week. It was a little longer than I thought, but they had to order the parts from Apple so, it made sense that it would take that long due to the delivery of parts. When I received my laptop, it looked BRAND NEW! I was really amazed at the quality of work they did. I highly recommend!!. I think they have different price options based on Apple warranty, unfortunately my coverage had expired so I had to pay full price for screen replacement but it was worth it! I suggest you check out their website and maybe make an appointment because when I went in as a walk in, there was a little bit of a line, maybe 10min wait, and parking wasn't great so, consider that if you are on a time crunch! read more

My son and I came here to fix "the blue screen of death", and Hadi took very great care of us and my son's computer. He even took the time to teach my son how to work on his own computer, making the process fun and educational! I would recommend Computerland for your computer repairs! Hadi is wonderful! read more

Computerland of Berkeley is my go-to repair shop as an IT professional. I work with both Macs and custom built PCs. When I encounter a hardware issue that I cannot resolve, the team at Computerland of Berkeley ALWAYS comes through. Today, I dropped of a Macbook that had gone to Apple twice. They diagnosed it and resolved the hardware issue within 24 hours! read more

Sweet, helpful, communicative, ideal in every way. They correctly estimated their turnaround time and finished on the faster end of the time estimate they gave me. The $40 diagnostic fee and service price were well worth the 1 day turnaround time and the service they provided. So grateful they were available! I would send my friends and family here and will definitely contact them again if I need help in the future. read more

Hadi helped me with my phone when I was having some issues with the charging port. Sorted it out in just a few minutes, appreciated his good work with electronics. read more

Now that some time has passed, I'm happy to say that the previous issues I had with my former review have been resolved. My motherboard had fried, so I sent my laptop in for repair around the time I was preparing for my university finals. There were various problems that arose as a result of the time constraint I had due to school, and the troubles with manufacturers themselves sending incorrect/faulty products, but thankfully Hadi was able to stick through with me and helped ensure that my laptop would return to normal. The latest motherboard functions, and everything runs smoothly now. read more

This authorized Apple Service provider does great work. Tri saved my wife's MacBook Pro today after I spilt liquid on the keyboard over the weekend and the computer died. Turned the job around same day with a Rush order. Extremely grateful. Thank you, Tri !!! read more

Tried this shop after a friends referral. Overall fixed the computer. My only problem was I specifically requested a part be ordered for a repair, instead we drove thirty minutes picked up the computer and they had just put a screw in it instead of ordering the part. This ended up wasting an hour of our time and was another week+ without the laptop to do work (they called to say we could pick it up while waiting but that would have been another hour driving). read more

Asked them to help me with a diagnostic because whenever I use it to produce beats it overheats and shuts off. I brought it and they told me don't worry they won't erase nothing unless it needs it, they'll just clean the cooling system and call me if it does. Come back a week later to pick it up everything was erased, all those years of music and hard work gone. And I don't even know if it fixed the problem because now I gotta go download every program and VST again and im too pissed to do so. read more

I came here recently with a highend gaming PC. (ex: 4090 gpu & intel 3900k) and certain games would crashing randomly even causing the pc to crash. This seemed to be a common issue but all solutions i made didn't work. Hadi, worked with me personally and took time out of his day (and night) trying to find solutions. It turns out i have a faulty cooler for my cpu at the beginning of some games loading. He was able to install the cooler and now PC works flawlessly. I had to add that the entire time he was polite, patient, and open to all my uneducated suggestions while also educating me on ways to handle pc issues in the future. I am now a loyal customer and will go to all things PC related through their company. I hope this review helps someone decide where to take their PC. read more

I have been going to ComputerLand for years. Always such a helpful staff that take care of my computer issues. They are also prompt and get my computer back to me quickly. Highly recommend. read more

Replaced a battery in my old MacBook Air. Very helpful and patient. I will be back if I need repairs to any computer in the future.

My 2020 MacBook Pro had the odd issue of a light constantly flashing from the touch pad. I took it to Apple and the best they could do was offer a fix through my Apple care in 7-10 business days - hard to go without my computer for work that long. They recommended a few Apple certified places and I chose Computerland. We agreed to do an expedited repair, and they made it very easy for me to not be without my computer. I was able to bring it in to have it diagnosed, then return it once the part arrived. I was then able to drop it off the evening before a morning when I did not need my computer. They promised me approx. 3 hours and it was done by that time. Great communication, friendly service, staff works well together, computer issues is fixed. Highly recommended from me :-) read more

Went in and they were super fast and helpful. My Apple care had actually run out and I was in for a $600 charge, but they went back and found an Apple recall that allowed me to get my computer fixed by Apple FOR FREE! Definitely shows why it's important to go to someone who knows what they're doing! Definitely my go-to tech repair place from now on :) read more

I dropped off a PC for a diagnosis and was told that I should expect to receive a call the next day. I didn't hear back so I called back four days later asking for an update. They said they were very busy and promised to get it done within the day after my call. I did not hear back again so I called two days later asking for an update. Again, given another excuse as to why they were taking so long. I was quoted a day to diagnosis and ended up waiting a week before I was told it was ready for pickup. There was no acknowledgement for how long it took them to diagnose (not fix!). Please set your expectations upfront with the customer beforehand or at least communicate throughout the process. Quite disappointed as I chose this place given the good reviews. read more

Really nice! Helped me with my old MacBook and were super reasonable. Will go there again

Thank you to Computerland Berkeley for your help with my computer! I appreciated their timely communication, professionalism, and fast turn-around time to get my laptop to me. They were also very close to campus which was convenient. I plan on returning again should I need help with my MacBook Pro in the future read more

Here are the facts of my experience in hopes it helps consumers to avoid being swindled into paying money for what could be FREE... 1) I had been introduced to Computerland as "an Authorized Apple repair" facility BY APPLE 2) Before going to my appointment I had performed all troubleshooting steps with Apple over the phone 3) I myself am a computer repair person and have some experience with the issue I was facing (a broken display backlight) 4) The display in question had previously been fixed by Apple for the same reason while it was under AppleCare protection 5) I had sought an independent opintion from YY Computer of Oakland with whom I've worked with previously 6) YY alerted me to an Apple recall issue that my computer fit the bill for and INSTEAD of taking my money, said to go to my previously scheduled appointment with Computerland as it would be a FREE repair 7) The tech at Computerland opened my laptop's lid while I explained the issue for no more than 20 seconds before saying that the "display was bad" 8) I alerted him to the Apple recall and pulled up the website so he could read it 9) He declined to read it saying "I know what it is and this isn't it." 10) I explained I had already had the latop diagnosed by Apple and YY (and myself) to which he replied "I can work on it, but I will have to charge you because it isn't covered by the recall" 11) I asked why I would have to pay for a diagnosis and then pay for the fixing, typically even mechanics will diagnose a car for free and then charge you for parts and labor... this was starting to feel totally predatory. 12) I took my laptop and spent about 30 minutes on the phone with Apple explaining the situation, after asking me a few questions DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE RECALL, a box was shipped to me to send to Apple for repair. 13) The specialist noted that if the unit did not fit the criteria after IN PERSON DIAGNOSIS I would be given a quote for a repair- JUST LIKE THE MECHANIC! 14) I sent my laptop back and THE REPAIR WAS FREE DESPITE BEING OUT OF WARRANTY ComputerLand of Berkeley may not be "predatory" in general, they have great reviews on Yelp and Google, but the DO have practices that take advantage of consumer's lack of knowledge (even if they DO KNOW BETTER) and need for technology in order to get them to pay for services that they will later be able to bill Apple for to gain double profits (this is my assumption based on experience and I only use my experience as evidence). The tech acknowledged that recall issues are compensated by Apple, so in effect, I could have paid him to fix the problem that "wasn't covered" and he could have billed Apple for the recall repair simply because I needed my computer and I didn't know any better. Buyer beware! Go to YY of Oakland! read more

The folks here provided exceptional service by fixing my IPhone after the Apple Store had given up. They're even authorized by Apple to provide warranty repairs. It's nice to actually talk to someone who knows about fixing your phone. read more

I don't usually write reviews but I feel obligated based on my recent visit. Computerland is hands down the best repair shop I've ever been to. I had an issue with my 2016 Macbook Pro and they were not only able to diagnose the issue immediately, but also saved me $600+ dollars from going directly to Apple. Christine in particular was amazing...spotted my issue immediately but also was just an absolute pleasure to speak with. I'll be asking if she's in whenever I'm back. Highly recommend this shop to anyone who wants top notch service and expertise. read more

I have used themseveral times over the years. Fast & Professional service. They brought my 2011 macbook pro back to life, installing a new hard drive, motherboard and battery. read more

I can't say enough good things about Computerland's service. I had a complete brick of a laptop that was unable to boot, its windows software hopelessly corrupted and a new laptop that was its replacement. They managed to a achieve 100% perfect clone on the new computer with new system upgrade. It was a miracle to this customer. Thanks, Madi. read more

Soso helpful and considerate of my school schedule! My screen was loose and they were able to tell me within an hour of dropping it off whether it was something they could fix that day or if they would need to order a part. Turns out I needed a new screen so they gave me my laptop back and when I brought up that my grad school schedule didn't really allow me to go a day without my computer, they said they would do the repair the same day my part came as long as I brought it in at a reasonable time. The part took a bit to come but they contacted me right away when it did and even texted me when I couldn't pick up the call during class. I dropped off my computer when I had the time and they got it back to me within the same day! I appreciate all they did for me and their timeliness with everything. Thanks again! read more

A Waste OF MONEY and TIME . They had my computer for over a week charged extra money and said after I paid them we don't really know Microsoft just Apple!! Why did they accept my computer or why didn't they say pick it up we can't fix your problem it's outside our expertise!!! I'd give a zero if possible. I was totally ripped off. read more

Had a great experience with this repair place - my MacBook Air would not charge and I tried replacing the cable and still it would not charge so it had to be something wrong with the computer. ComputerLand was recommended as a repair shop by Apple and they were much faster to get into than the Apple Store so I figured I would give it a try. They charge 40.00 for the diagnosis which they later will deduct from the cost of the repair. My suspicions were realized as it was the power port on the computer that was broken. For once I had guessed right and figured something out correctly. They were able to fix it and the cost was 120.00 less the 40.00 I had paid so net 80.00. I was well pleased with the outcome. It took about 2 days to figure all this out - not bad. Thanks ComputerLand for the painless repair to my precious computer. I will be back for more help! read more

4/5/22: came in to get a key on my keyboard fixed and they fixed it within 2 hours! So nice to not have to pay $300 for a new keyboard :)

The Apple Store recommended them as a repair shop and I found them to be thorough, incredibly fast, and transparent with their pricing. Happy customer! read more

Quick and responsive. I wanted to upgrade my SSD to 2TB, and they ordered the new SSD for me over the weekend, and finished the disk cloning in just 3 hours. They are a bit pricey (charged $150 for service fee, coupon included), but very fast service. read more

Unwilling to solve anything but basic issues. Very unhelpful on the phone. Did not come across as competent or knowledgeable.

I came here with an issue with my MacBook Air screen and received exceptional customer service. The team was kind, detailed, and helpful and helped me diagnose the issue and provide different options to move forward for my laptop. I'm glad I found them and highly recommend!!! read more
