Lapin Systems, Inc.

They wanted $ 45 to look at my computer and then extra $$ to do the repairs. I know they had solid reviews but it seemed like a scam. Just bring it into the Apple Store down the street, the time is worth the savings. Not happy.

I am so grateful to Jeff at Lapin who not only recovered my data and re-​installed it into my new computer after I had accidentally spilled liquid into my old one rendering it unsalvageable. Lapin was thorough, speedy and so helpful in working with me on getting everything in sync. It was such a quick turnaround done so professionally. The manner and tone of both Jett and Jeff were very helpful.
I would recommend Lapin to all.

These guys are excellent. My hard drive on my 2012 MacBook Pro died a couple of days before Christmas. I brought it into the shop and the next day, one of Lapin’s professionals called me to tell me what was wrong with my laptop, what our options were, and how we could prevent against the issue happening again without condescending or trying to sell me anything. In the end, they were able to not only save everything on my hard drive and fix it, but have it running better than it ever did before (with a memory upgrade that was reasonably priced) at a price that was far less than I was expecting. Given that I use my laptop at work, this kind of peace of mind is not insignificant. Highly recommend these guys if you need to get your Apple product fixed.

I am always hesitant to take my computer to a non-​Apple store for servicing. My MacBook Pro wouldn’t backup data and someone at the Apple store suggested that I go here for them to back it up and then bring my laptop back to Apple to be serviced. Man, am I glad I trusted the people at Lapin to both backup and service my machine. Not only did they accurately diagnose the issue, but they did it 5 days faster than the Apple store quoted me, and for $ 60 less. They have better diagnostic software than Apple to help fix the issue instead of guessing what the issue was (like they did at the Apple store). I could not be happier with my experience at Lapin, I highly recommend them!

The Apple store said it could take 3 – 5 days to fix my MacBook Air computer. Apple suggested Lapin located near the North Avenue store and I’m thrilled they did. My computer was fixed in less than 24 hours and it was completely covered by Apple Care as Lapin is an Apple Care provider. My screen was not working and was completely black. Lapin put an entirely new screen cover/​lid. The new cover looks great and works perfectly. The techs were professional and knowledgable and the the storefront itself is modern, clean, and inviting. I highly recommend Lapin for your Apple computer repairs.

What a great find! I was quoted $ 750 at the Apple Store after an accidental spill on my MacBook Air. Thank goodness for Unilocal,I went straight to these guys and 3 days later my computer was repaired and ready for $ 450. Highly recommend!

These guys are great. Jett brought my Mac back to life. He did it quickly and for a great price. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Awesome experience.

First Class … !!! These people keep their promises and stand 100% behind the work and went the extra mile. They understand that they are not fixing your toaster as we MUST have our computers. I would go far out of my way to deal with these people in the future. Thank you!

I really can’t say enough positive things about Lapin Systems. I spilled tea all over my computer yesterday morning and after spending an hour at the Apple store going nowhere I decided to try Lapin Systems. The staff were incredibly knowledgable, helpful and extremely courteous. I dropped my computer off for a diagnostic to see if they could salvage the computer/​any of my data and was told I would hear back in a day. Well, they called in the next HOUR to say they were able to save all my data and would happily transfer it over to a jump drive and /​or new comp (my other was completely fried). I ended up having to buy a new computer but because of Lapin Systems I got all my data back and the whole problem was solve WITHIN A DAY. Not only were they quick and incredibly efficient, the whole process cost me under $ 70 dollars. Check out Lapin Systems before you go anywhere else. It is definitely worth it.

I have a 2009 Macbook Pro that I’m giving to a friend in need. The battery no longer held a charge and the screen needed to be replaced. They offered me a couple options for the screen which would save me some $$$.
Turned around the repair in one week! Very courteous, friendly, and well informed.

Simply tops. My laptop got spilled on. I went to Apple and eventually said F this (the line was literally out the door in Lincoln Park and there was a three day waitlist on Michigan). Found these guys on Unilocal,so I checked them out. I turned in my laptop at about noon. They had it READY FOR PICKUP the next day by 2. Incredible. The parts were ordered, swapped our, repaired and the computer was cleaned in 14 hours — and for about $ 250 – 300 less than Apple would have charged me (and also about a week sooner than Apple would have taken). Best part: they are Apple certified. That means that no warranties are voided — it’s literally an extension of an Apple store… just faster, better and cheaper ;)

this place is great. they updated my hard drive on my laptop, installed new os and replaced my backup.
fast, efficient, and reasonably priced

I’ve had several excellent experiences with Lapin Systems. Most recently they saved me from myself when I foolishly responded to a bogus «security problem» window that popped up on my computer. Lapin cleared all that had been embedded on my hard drive; a bonus is that my computer now runs faster.

Lapin to save the day!
I spilled water directly on my Macbook Pro keyboard. When I went to Apple, they recommended that I go to Lapin because it might be cheaper. Apple also informed me that it would cost $ 755 +tax if i cited liquid damage. In this cost, they would replace (basically) everything in my computer except for the exterior, including my hard drive. I was not about to lose my hard drive if it could be salvaged.
When I went to Lapin, they told me it was a $ 75 charge to inspect my computer to see what exactly what was wrong with it. They called me the next day to report cost of the damage (same as the cost of Apple’s service) but my hard drive was safe! Instead of opting to replace the damaged parts, I bought a refurbished version of my Macbook Pro (13″ 2013 model). They told me to send it to their store and they would migrate my data from my old hard drive to my new one. They also had to update the software on my new hard drive because my old hard drive did not have the same software; this would be an additional cost. Since it was an unforeseen circumstance, they gave my 50% of the software update cost.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Lapin. They’re highly accommodating and knowledgable. And, their service is commendable.

Excellent service from start to finish! Jeff took great care of addressing my concerns and answering all my questions. I was kept up to date the entire time my MBP was being repaired! Very knowledgable and professional service! If you need your mac fixed go here!

Apple recommended Lapin for issues beyond their normal service. I just came back with my MacPro, which I had dropped off 2 days ago, believing it was a data recovery issue at best. I thought I was looking at buying the new $ 2,000 version plus the expense of data recovery.
I recommend Lapin for every concern other than a typical snag. I have seen The Genius Bar perform miracles. However, if your computer won’t re-​boot or you have delicate issues with the operating system, which require a sole focus to track the problem to the root, this is the only place to go.
Yosemite is causing a lot of problems with upgrades in older machines. I spent 3 hours on a Saturday 1 month earlier in an Apple store; they couldn’t fix it. It took me 4 days to try to piece together backups before erasing my hard drive.
One month later, my Mac died again. Lapin solved the problem way beyond the scope of erase, re-install…of anything I could do… or anything Apple was capable of… given their volume.
If there were 10 stars, I would give them a 10.
Love Apple… but sometimes, you just need an Apple expert.

Went above and beyond and got my mac book pro up and running again.
Thanks again Jeff and Lapin systems

Lapin saves the day AGAIN!
I just need 4 measly screws. With shipping that would have cost me a total of 50 bones! I called Lapin and they ordered me the parts for a fraction of that for pickup THE NEXT DAY. Even faster if I would have shipped too!
Lapin goes way back, they’re oldskool mutherfukers. I remember making the trek back in the day to Evanston with a sick mac. But now they have an additional location in the city so that’s extra rockalicious. You go Lapin with your mac-​lovin selves, keep it real!

The Apple Store recommended I go to them for a RAM upgrade. Great service and 15 min. turnaround. I highly recommend!

Went here to get my optical drive replaced as the one that came with my laptop was busted. My mac was still under warranty and Lapin fixed the problem and got it back to me within two days which is WAY faster than I would have gotten it back if I went to the Apple store.
The gentleman who helped me out was extremely friendly and knew what he was doing. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone who needs Mac work. They are true professionals.
