    Canada Computers is located in the Millcroft shopping area at the north west corner of Upper Middle…read moreand Appleby Line. This is a pretty big store. I'm usually only popping in to buy a single item that I may need in a pinch. I needed a very specific item recently (RS232 to USB adapter) and it's not something you can find just anywhere that sells say telephone charge cables and they had it. I went online to see stock levels which are broken down by stores in the entire region per item and thankfully they had it. It was sort of an urgent need and being close and usually having what I need in stock is a good thing. I can see if you're looking to build a power gaming system from scratch that you could walk into this place and walk out with absolutely everything you needed to do just that from every component and the variety of selection to customize something personalized just for you. The customer service here has always been helpful and friendly.

    I went to the store about a month ago to get a shorter phone charging cable to keep my phone…read morecharged all day while driving. The cable set I bought only lasted a month it then fell apart. Its made by Choetech. I went back to the store and the tech people would not exchange it foe a new one. This will be the last time that I will visit this store or talk to the staff. I am very disappointed and will not return.

    Every time I've been in the store, I've been either the only customer or one of the only customers…read more The store seems to always be empty, which isn't that surprising given the things I've noticed, as I'll describe below. For starters, the prices are pretty mediocre to be blunt. For instance, a Yamaha R-S300 is $299.99 on their boxing day sale, but regular $250 on Amazon.ca. This trend continues throughout their product line, with their sale prices consistently equal to or higher than some other stores' regular prices. The employees' knowledge is surely more than the average Best Buy employees' knowledge, but even then sometimes I felt as if they were reciting what they read on the product description. It's not all bad, though. Unless you go to a dedicated hifi store, you're not going to find a lot of mid to high end audio equipment, which is where 2001 seems to hold an edge. Brands like KEF and Paradigm aren't available at most chain stores, so it's nice to be able to go in and audition them without the pressure that some hifi stores put on you (I feel like I'm a criminal every time I go into a hifi store when I'm just there to audition stuff with no real intention of buying). A few times I've gone in and flat out told the employees I'm just looking and that I'm not interested in purchasing anything today, and they still let me audition multiple speakers and receivers, which I felt was nice. I'd recommend going here to audition equipment as they have a bit of variety in terms of speakers and receivers, but unless you want the product that day and/or the price is on par with competitors, buy from somewhere else.
