I have used this company for years. I've bought cell phones, computers, accessories, software and I have taken classes from them on how to use everything from i Pads to my new Apple 11. AND they are fabulous. The staff have been professional, knowledgeable, and kind. If I don't understand they were patience and explained it differently till I "GET IT". They have also helped other members of my family. I can't name a single individual who has helped me because their staff changes but everyone who has been there was great. I highly recommend them for anything APPLE.

Really bad customer service and ripped off; they knowingly charged me 85 $ as deposit fee. Although I told them all I need Mac book battery nothing else. But they insisted to check; in 3rd day they called me and said either I fix entire computer for 1125 $, or buy new computer from them otherwise take your computer and go and the deposit is not refundable. What a shameful. I just took my computer and I left. Like wasting 85 $ & time for nothing.after traveling for a hour. I'm warming you be careful from these people. I learned a lesson and I won't recommend any person to them.

My iPhone suddenly crashed and I took it to Verizon who referred me to computer hardware. They were able to restore my phone and for very inexpensive! They were knowledgeable, kind and patient! Will definitely bring my products back here!

My Apple phone was having battery issues and I was having a very bad day trying to deal with the Verizon office here in town. My neighbors told me they had always had good luck with Computer Hardware. I gave CH a call then dropped off my phone to have the battery replaced. Two hours later I was able to pick up my phone with its new battery and also a new screen saver. The fellow I worked with was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor.
I will take my Apple products to Computer Hardware from now on! BONUS: When you call their store they actually answer the phone as compared to Verizon and Best Buy where they make you talk to a nationwide call center.
