    Pure laziness!!
    Roni B.

    Decided to go by today for a CD binder. They were out of stock. Andy was nice enough to help me out, by being kind, attentive and great customer service!! as well as Joseph when it came to looking for an internal Blu-ray drive for my PC in which they didn't carry. While others just walked by and didn't offer any assistance!! Get rid of those smucks!!! They don't want to work and are pure lazy!!! Like putting tape and signs on top of printers!!! As I was n search of purchasing one.

    I have been wanting to visit a Micro Center for the longest time and jumped on the opportunity to stop by when I was visiting Houston. Walking inside for the first time gave me the same vibes as Fry's Electronics with all types of electronics you can find online directly in front of you. I was surprised to see so many different keyboard parts that you can usually only find on specific websites, but everything I needed was combined into one aisle. Comparing the prices of graphics cards and motherboards just seems like a no-brainer to purchase these parts are Microcenter since the deals are discounted compared to other retail websites. I ended up not making a big purchase to take back home, but next time I come back I'd be sure to buy my next graphics card. As I was leaving, I wanted to buy something Microcenter branded like a T-shirt or tote bag, but the best I could find was a USB stick near the registers. I'll be sure to visit the next closest store in LA, but overall this visit was an awesome experience as a computer enthusiast.

    The proud moment after putting everything together...not realizing it wouldn't even show a thing on the display and be DOA....

    Now that the ordeal is over and I have a cooler head, I thought I'd re-write my original 1 star review. This time around in my 30 or so years of using homemade computers, I had waited so long that I could only really reuse my SSD, HDD, GPU, and my Windows license so I though I would splurge and build a machine based on the latest and greatest 13th gen i9, DDR5, and Z790 motherboard. As luck would have it, they had a combo deal with ASUS TUF motherboard and ZSkill DDR 5 RAM. The only things I weren't sure about was what case I would get that wouldn't have RGB, what power supply to get, and what type of CPU cooler I would need since those aren't included. I used to get my parts through newegg and amazon but I really wanted to help out local physical stores so I went with Microcenter. When I went to Microcenter, the gentleman there in the back with the "build your own PC" group was very helpful. I got what I needed and happily went home and started building my machine. It was a beautiful build if I do say so myself. Cable management and everything. But the damn thing would not register/start and would just freeze on startup not even giving a prompt. I took things apart again and double checked every detail - CPU was seated right, memory was seated right, no power cords had come loose, No chasis cables were loose. One thing I was hoping by purchasing from a local store was that if something went wrong, they would stand behind the product, but that wasn't the case. You are on your own almost as much as if you bought your parts online. They have a "knowledge bar" and the first person to help me there made an attempt but he kind of just gave up too and told me to take out the part and replace it. In my mind, I could have done that with amazon as well and instead of going through the trouble of going to Microcenter just drop it off at Whole Foods and get dinner too. To their credit, they replaced the MB but it also did not work so it was obvious that there is some sort of failure between the MB, CPU, and RAM...but then THIS WAS A COMBO so you'd think they'd thoroughly test it first to make sure it all works well together. So today, I thought I'd give them one last chance. If they could make it work then they wouldn't lose the sale but the guy was basically saying that if I put everything back in the boxes, i'd get a refund. If he had to disassemble it, there would be like $117 charge (something like that). Zero attempt to make me me go home with a working computer. He told the guy in front me with a new laptop that he also could return his laptop but if he tried to troubleshoot it, there would be a $40 fee. That's the Knowledge Bar in a nutshell - low level stuff. So I disassembled everything for the 4th time...in the store thankfully. At least they gave me the dignity of not having to do it in the parking lot like in Autozone with an alternator. As mentioned though, this was my 4th time trying to make this work and taking things apart so the whole thing took a half hour max. To their credit again, the cashiers gave my money back and didn't hassle me, but it didn't have to get this far. They could have first chosen a combo pack that worked. They could have took the machine in the back and used their weight with the manufacturers to troubleshoot the problem. Really the only benefit is that they are local and you get the parts there. I'm not saying don't buy from here, in fact the opposite. Please buy your parts here when you can, but just remember that you ARE still on your own when it comes to the build, even if it's not your fault and you've done everything right. The knowledge bar is there mostly for older/inexperienced people to come and put ram in their computer or back their data up. It's not for the guy behind the counter to be your buddy and figure out why your build doesn't work, even though that could potentially be a huge advantage for them over amazon and newegg. So I'm back to square one. I feel bad because I know they can't resell the parts I returned and really the issue is with the memory/motherboard so the i9 chip, CPU cooler, Case, and PSU were innocent bystanders, alas, again, they could have spent an extra half hour with the machine and make it work but they didn't. On another note, ASUS motherboards seem to have this issue alot. I've been searching on PC build forums and it's not just limited to this model. Last time I'm buying ASUS. My old AsRock board has been a champ for 10 years now.

    I'm building a new pc for streaming and gaming. I could have easily ordered from online but since I have never been to a Micro Center I decided to take a short flight to Houston to come check it out. Here's my honest review. The outside parking lot and entrance was clean and inviting. The lighting inside was slightly darker than expected and I had expected to see components displayed like in other stores. But the aisles were well-labeled. The associates were courteous- we were approached with offers for assistance from multiple individuals throughout the store without being overbearing. The "build your own" help desk was very knowledgeable and provided suggestions regarding components for optimal performance for my usage needs. Evan was confident and a good example of how that department of the store should be ran. 4.5 stars. Basically, my wife told me that maybe it's a good thing we don't live too close, otherwise I'd be here everyday.

    Do they fix printers?

    They really do not - in fact, this is probably their Achilles Heel - printers I often advise that you find yourself a proper printer repair shop as opposed to Micro Center

A…read morefriend of my daughter found Sam's Repair on Facebook Marketplace as someone who was selling refurbished MacBook laptops (It wasn't even listed on Yelp. I had to add the business to check-in and write the review). We originally went in to Sam's to purchase a used MacBook. When we went in and explained what we had and what we were doing, he encouraged us to not buy the one he had for sale but suggested we let him look at ours first to see if it was repairable. We had already upgraded the memory to a 1TB solid-state drive and it was much better than what he was selling. We left (Saturday) and returned on Monday with our laptop. He said since we were coming from so far away (League City) that we could wait while he looked at it. We hung out for an hour and he actually was able to fix the motherboard. He explained what he did but honestly it was over my head. I'm just glad it is working. The laptop he was selling was $550. He fixed ours for less than half that cost and warranted the work for 3 months. Granted, I'm writing this review a few short hours after the repair. Assuming the repair holds, he deserves the five stars. If for some reason that changes, I'll update my review. As for now, we are very pleased.
