Sac City Computer Hub

My poor MacBook screen shattered and I called all over. Most places weren’t too helpful or quoted sky high prices. Ed took a look and have me a call back the same day with discounted rates for parts. He is so knowledgable and fixed me computer right away. I would recommend him to anyone.

Ed has worked a a couple of my computers over the last few years, always quickly done, fairly priced, honest about condition of the computer and whether it’s worth fixing. Highly recommend this computer guru.

Extremely fast turnaround. I walked in with a broken screen and he ordered the part with extremely fast shipment. Once the part came in a few days later, I dropped off my laptop and within a half hour it was as good as new. If you live in midtown, the speed and convenience is a huge plus. Needed this done as fast as possible as I was traveling.

Very disappointed in my dealing with this shop. Felt as though I was taken for a ridiculous price for a Toshiba Satellite Laptop when I could’ve bought a new equivalent model for another $ 150. The unit I bought has been nothing but problems since I bought it. Owner/​operator of the store seemed decent, perhaps it was just a bad unit that he didn’t realize.

I’ve been in the store a couple times to ask questions about upgrades and changing over to a Mac. Every time Ed has taken his time to give me his honest opinion. I went in earlier this week again to look at purchasing one of his computers. When I explained my situation, Ed told me he might be able to fix my laptop and give me a windows 2007 shell (windows 08 sucks). Ed not only helped me with this but much more with my laptop to get it running smoothly, and all under $ 150 (using Unilocal discount). I’m hoping to be getting a desktop soon, and this is the only place I’m going. I appreciate Ed’s honesty and knowledge!

I’ve been meaning to Unilocal Ed and his excellent service for some time now. A few months ago, my dinosaur computer (2008 MacBook) died. I debated seeing if I could salvage it or buy new. Luckily I found Ed and he quickly and affordably fixed my old boy right up — like new! I highly recommend Ed as the ultimate computer doctor.

I had been to other computer tech guys and finding Ed was a stroke of good karma coming my way. Outstanding service! He diagnosed the issue within 5 hours of dropping it off and had it repaired same day — with the best price I have seen. You really get the feeling that he would never rip you off. Can’t fake that. THANK YOU ED!

I bought a laptop last week, and did not know that I could the ram was only 1gb i the speed to watch the YouTube was very slow … I bought back to Ed today, and he exchanged me with another laptop ! Excellent service, and would recommend him to anyone.

Outstanding service… after having another tech charge me to tell me my computer was «fine» and knowing it wasn’t fine I took it to Sac City Computer hub. Infected with a virus a I suspected without a blink of an eye my little sick laptop is back and running better than ever. But as important. The owner is just the nicest person in that refreshing sort of way!

New to the area and needed a laptop for personal use for my girlfriend and I. I googled the downtown area, this place came up, and we stopped by the store during her lunch break. We told him exactly what we were looking for and he quickly showed us about 7 different laptops and had us review them. After about 5 min we wanted to demo two different types of laptops. At this time he was behind the counter giving us some space which I liked. We thoroughly compared the two computers side by side while he gave us an in depth comparison about both and explained some of the main features. He again gave us some space to test both laptops. We both decided on a HP ProBook instead of the larger HP. He again showed me and explained more about the lap top. He allowed us to pay in two transactions which made the boss (girlfriend) happy. We were back in our car within 20 minutes.
The next day, after using the computer for about 3 hrs I lifted part of mouse pad cover when I tried to open the laptop quickly. I guess I only caught the mouse cover piece as I tried to open the computer. Part my fault, but still shouldn’t have happened and could see the glue that was under the cover. I decided to drive down back to where I bought it from and was a bit worried maybe he wouldn’t honor his product. However, after I explain what had happened he made a funny comment «maybe next time you shouldn’t try to rip it open!» You could tell that he was kidding and he told me to leave it and he’ll have fixed with in a few hours.
I received a call about three hours later informing me that it was fixed. When I arrived he had it fixed and secure and explained what HP uses and what he had used was a far more superior adhesive. He politely took the time to explain a few more options that I couldn’t figure out on the control panel. I only expected him to tell me what to do but instead he physically powered up the computer & showed me what I was doing wrong.
Honestly, I could have save $ 100 buying this lap top from eBay, but the service I received was incredible. Not to mention that the company stands behind their products and that is far more valuable than the few dollars saved.
Thank you for your awesome customer service and friendly attitude.

Ed is awesome! I got a computer virus and was in the middle of teaching and grading online papers. He fixed it as a rush and didn’t charge the extra since I teach. My laptop worked and looked just as it did before the crash. He even threw in a lap fan ($ 20). He was honest, fast and so nice. I’d recommend him to all and I will return.

I have been building computers for 20 years. I worked for NEC and I have never been around anyone as skilled or honest as Ed. If you want the best service at the most reasonable cost shop and do your repairs with Tech For Less

Ed was a life saver. My MacBook Pro was freezing up and he diagnosed it for free and fixed it within24 hours. And it was for less then $ 200!!! He is honest, and very fair. Would highly recommend him.

Wow! I just left Tech for Less and what a great experience. My Wife’s Panasonic Tough-​book would not charge and I could not figure out why. I went to a box store and since they do not sell Panasonic laptops they were unable to help me. I came home, looked on-​line, and found this store, Ed, the Owner, hooked up his generic power supply and the laptop started to charge and when I said that I would go on-​line to get a replacement he made sure that I knew what to ask for. It took about 5 minutes.
Great service! Great professionalism!
If you have the need, I highly recommend this business!

Competent, knowledgeable, timely, up-​to-​date, reasonably priced.
The service I received from Mr. Barnes was exemplary. I have dealt with other similar businesses in the past, Tech For Less provided a quality of service that was personalized to my problem and had several options for a solution.

I was extremely pleased with the restoration of my motherboard, hardware and drives after my tower was damaged in shipping. I highly recommend this shop for repairs, customization, maintenance and upgrades.
I called three other shops listed on Unilocal with good ratings and they all declined to even look at my system after I described the damage. My future business will go directly to Tech For Less.

This business is awesome not just, because they are my neighbors, but because I trust Ed to handle the machines that allow my business to survive and thrive. If you need repair work to be done on your computer (Mac or PC) Ed can offer a quick and honest evaluation and the best prices in town. Support this business. We need good tech repair in Midtown!

I highly recommend Tech For Less as the place to go for buying a new (used) laptop!
After my experience shopping for a used computer on Craigslist and various other sources, I came across an ad for Ed’s place. He had a good, varied selection and answered every question I had– and I had a lot. Probably dumb questions, too, but he was infinitely patient and professional. He has a good range of prices, from $ 160 and up, depending on what you’re looking for. One thing I really appreciated was that I told him my price range and he never tried to up-​sell me to something more– can’t often find that in a salesman!
All of the computers come with new harddrives and RAM, new operating system, software bungles (including Microsoft Office ’03– older version, but perfectly adequate), and antivirus.
My old laptop contained more RAM than the one I was buying, and he transferred it over for free. For $ 30, he also removed my harddrive from the old laptop and put it in a hard case to be used as an external harddrive. I found this to be a good value as compared to what it would cost to have someone transfer it all over to my new computer (and it certainly helps in terms of speed).
Here’s another awesome thing: While my old laptop was in definite need of replacement, it was not lost to the world– so Ed accepted it as trade-​in and I got a discount on my «new» machine. Can’t beat it!
I’ve had my new computer for only a day now, but I’m quite satisfied so far. It’s everything he said it would be. Should I ever have problems, the free lifetime tech support will be on my side.
Thanks Ed!

After a quick consulation about what was wrong with my laptop Ed was able to fix the problem with the screen and get it back to me within 24 hours which was perfect since I take online classes and can’t go more than a day or 2 without a computer. Ed’s a really nice guy who knows a lot about computers (and real estate too!) and you can’t go wrong with his prices. I’ll definitely be referring all of my friends his way for any computer problems.
