Unistar Computer

As computer stores are becoming more and more difficult to find, a relic of time’s past, it’s nice to see an independant shop still thriving. The people at Unistar are knowledgeable and trustworthy, two qualities I find most computer stores lack.
I’m a computer programmer, so I tend to be pretty critical of the service I receive in a shop, and I can say that these guys demonstrated a good depth of knowledge, and more importantly an interest in making sure I didn’t waste my money unnecessarily, even suggesting an alternative that saved me half as much as I was prepared to spend.
Though not really stocked with strictly the latest tech, they’ve got a reasonable selection of components that would satisfy most. If heading down to computer ghetto at Spadina and College is too out of the way, I would highly recommend Unistar for a little East end upgrade.
A little bit pricier than some, but still fair. Not too much to pay for the convenience of avoiding a shipping hassle or travelling to the other side of town.

Generally overpriced compared to their competitors on College, but when you need something at the last minute they probably have what you need. It’s the usual messy computer store, but they’re never busy so I don’t know why they don’t clean up the place in their spare time. The posters in the window look a little sad as they’re sun faded and old.
The last time I was in there was a slight language barrier but after being passed off to the tech I was able to get what I needed.
This certainly isn’t my go to place but it’s really the only one around the area so sometimes you just have to bite the bullet.
