Great service. Needed an entire PC changed over to a new case, and I was able to bring it in same day and have it worked on and done, same day. Matt especially was awesome as he let me chill out and learn from his work as PC building is something I want to know more on how to do. Love finding small businesses to try out and these guys definitely deserve some praises. If you need help whether its older tech or top of the line, theyll help you out.
Great people and they have what I wanted. 😊
The Service was incredible. They pay attention yo every detail. And they are very knowledgeable.
I popped in unannounced with a few questions regarding some older equipment and Jason was more than welcome to answering them. He was extremely personable and knowledgeable. I appreciate the assistance!
Definitely the first place for your computer needs: new, refurbished, parts, etc.
Excellent service and price! I got exactly what I was looking for in my new computer!!
Wish I could give 10 stars!, I Couldn’t say nothing bad about this place I’m always treated good ! with Great customer service!, also Jason and all the guys are really good people and they take care of their customers.
Amazing place! Jason Dragon is a wonderful person who goes out of his way to help you out.
Emerald computers had everything I needed. They even recycled my old computer parts. Jason was very helpful.
They are very good at helping you find what you want in up grading your computer.
So I purchased an asus laptop here about a month and a half ago. I’m not very knowledgeable about what prices should be, or even what’s the latest hardware/software. That being said, I thought, even if it’s somewhat overpriced these guys should stand behind their products. 90 day warranty. A few of my keys stopped working so I took it in for repair. Should be covered. The keys where NOT sticky, nothing was ever spilled on the laptop. After telling me it would take ONE day to see what was wrong, I called, after THREE DAYS and was told they hadn’t got to it yet. Dawson, was due in until Saturday. Jason initially said he would be in Thursday to get to it. I dropped it off Wednesday. Jason also stated the he could get a replacement if needed replaced from Massachusetts, not China. Today Jason calls me, telling me someone spilled sticky stuff and that’s why the keys where out. He says they can fix it for about 100-120 dollars. Or just give me a keyboard to use though usb. I told him I’d call him back. I called back and said I wanted to replace keys. Jason then started in about how it would take 6 weeks to get replacement from China. I asked about the one in Massachusetts, he tells me that keboerd was in Korean, and wouldn’t work. I said ok I’ll just have you do it any way. He then started in about how it would not be the same, ever. There are almost 100 parts to replace, clips that would break off and not fixable. I could replace the keyboard and the bezel, for a much better result, and much higher price. You get the picture! Not that it matters, but I will never purchase anything from here again. They are lazy, and don’t want to do anything more than necessary to assist me, a customer. Giving a lot of excuses on why they “can’t” or how inconvenient it will be to do what it takes to fix an issue. Very bad customer service. Did I mention somewhat condescending, and unwilling to be helpful. Jason needs to realize that as a business, you are suppose to help, the customer, treat them right. Not make false statements, then backtrack, and not want to provide the service. To bad.I just went to pick up my laptop, and Jason said he orderred the keyboard and would be here Monday?! I thought China was at least 6 weeks out. What the world?! I just talked to him and said I would just pick it up and not fix the sticky keys. Just use an external keyboard. Don’t you think the guy would have called me to tell me he found one for monday. Why would you not call the customer and let them know you found one sooner! He just said 6 weeks. Wow. Rude, condescending, Did I mention if you call any number for that shop, you get some old guy, that will literally tell you he doesn’t know anything, you will have to call back?
I purchased a computer last Black Friday from Emerald & have been very happy not only with it but with the technical support. For example, I just left Dawson who went way beyond the call of duty to help me with my printer & answered my numerous questions. Dawson is the guy to request who based on his knowledge is Head Tech there!
Jason and team are very knowledgeable, and always available to answer all of your questions,
The owner is great here. Always there to help out. The computers work very well and they are very affordable. Love this place.
Very professional reception and survey of my computers issues. Made several suggestions and offered detailed information which allowed me to choose the solution that best fit my needs. Quick repair and clean up of my system including a walk through of what thy did while the computer was still on the test bench.Excellent service and I highly recommend you take your computer here
Jason has helped up buy and/or build 5 custom computers. These are higher end rigs because of the work we do. Great service and after-the-sale support every time. Reputable company and theyve been at the same location I know of for at least five years.
Great custumer servce!!dawson helpes me with my needs and showed me many tips and tricks and als taght m about some cool gatgets they use.(✿◠‿◠) ⊂◉‿◉つ
Reached out to the owner to inquire about stock. He let me know to come in when they opened. I came by the next day and he was not there. The store was open but the gentleman there could not tell me what they had in stock and let me know that the owner would be in later to help. Disappointed I could not get the items I needed nor a response.
Awesome place
Life savers!!!! needed a cable for a a brief and they were the only one that had it. in and out quick, staff was very knowledgeable!
Computers here are overpriced. They sell new items at an insane markup. For example, they sell a 16GB kit of DDr4 for $110 when one can easily purchase it from Amazon for $70 (and keep in mind, they also purchase stuff from Amazon aswell, so you get nothing extra for it, you are just being green). And to top it off, the store looks unorganized & very untidy with computers being stacked on top of each other and bugs everywhere. I never purchased anything here & I sure as well wont recommend anyone else either.
Great service, received and fixed the problem really quickly, at a very reasonable price. 100% would recommend.
Very helpful. Honest.
I have done $30,000 in business with Jason Dragon and Emerald Computers so far this year (2018) and the 6 mining machines we purchased are very well made and have run flawlessly for months.This is reputable and honest company that I can happily recommend.Update* I have experienced several serious issues since my last update that I will update shortly. If you are on the fence about ordering from Emerald Computers please wait a day or two for my update. It will be worth your time.
Overpriced systems. They buy used components from second hand sites like Craigslist and refurbish them into new computer builds. Similar to a car dealership their profit margins are very high, if you are looking for a good deal shop used yourself. Ebay offers great buyer protection service and the items sold there are used as well. There is no reason you should overpay.
Hey everyone, Thought I would share my experience because I was reading reviews and I think a lot of people misunderstand this place.I was building a computer for someones birthday and when I ordered some parts online from Amazon, I realized they were incompatible. I texted the store for some help because I was in a pinch and I really needed some parts to finish this build as a gift the next day. Jason (the store owner) texted me right back. He gave me many option for exchanging the parts I had, or just outright buying parts that were compatible and gave me options to save as much money as possible.Just to be clear, this man texted me back at 11pm right after I had texted him at 10:50. He offered to meet me at the store after hours and do all this exchanging for me.I arrived at the store at almost 12am and he was there just when he said he would be; he welcomed me into the store.I was able to get parts that I needed and he had so much on hand it was honestly superior to any other store that I could find around here.I think a lot of people misunderstand the store. If there is a part there that you can find cheaper on Amazon, understand that Amazon, or the dealer on Amazon is most likely doing a sale. The owner has parts on hand that you can take right home and offers cheap installation that is also a superior service in my opinion. Understand that there is sometimes a small upcharge because this is infact a family owned business and everyone needs to make money!!! Being able to take parts home the same day you buy them is a convenience and you should be willing to pay for this service.That being said, the price of everything was extremely reasonable. I actually got a Ryzen 3600 for almost 100 dollars cheaper than what I was able to find on Newegg and I was extremely satisfied.I also saw some reviews stating that the shop was cluttered and messy. While its true that the shop is messy, its truly organized chaos. He has so many parts on hand, and so many prebuilds available at good prices to take home the next day, it fills a lot of the shelves and gives you a lot of examples to look at when buying parts.Overall, a great experience that is most likely not matched by any other in the Peoria Arizona area. If you need advice, have questions, or anything else; Jason is happy to help. If you want retail prices, go to Best Buy. But if you want a selection that is yet again (matched by none) look no further than Emerald Computers.
I am a business owner and here is what I observed. This is one of the only independent Computer Shops in the NW valley. Elderly people frequent this location seeking a good deal outside of the major suppliers such as Best Buy, Walmart, Frys, etc. Thats where the scheme comes in. Hiding behind the mask of professionalism and great deals, Emerald computers is the master of the price gouge. As an experienced purveyor of computing devices I observed several, not some, of their computers were 10 years old and over $300. I know my makes/models and there is nothing, I repeat, nothing you can do to make a ten year old laptop worth anything near what they were charging. And this was across the board on items all throughout their store. If you ran any one of their computers through GadgetValue you will see for yourself. Just to humor myself, I asked if they had any 130 watt power supplies for dell laptops. The rep comes out with three and explains they are $60 each. I spend $60 on used laptops that are nearly 4-5 years old (which is fair market value for units of this age that need TLC) and this guy wants to sell me just a power supply for $60. Just an FYI, Dell laptops chargers run $18.99 on average on Ebay and a whopping $30 on Amazon, of all places. I carry about 10 of these and buy them for $5 each from a different supplier. So, justify why there would be a 3x markup during a crisis? Its called taking advantage of the consumer during a national crisis. And I can see that you are denying claims of other bad reviews from experienced reviewers based upon never serving clients with those names. Its easy to write off a mistake when youre not counting.
They have a lot pre-built PCs & laptops, and accessories at Fair prices, PLUS they have a service center with the capability to fix or upgrade your old computer.
They know what to do andHow to resolve the computer problems of our generationI would highly recommend themThey have never failed me
Ive shopped here multiple times. Every time they have provided me with exactly what I need, at a price that is affordable. They have excellent customer service, and I will absolutely continue to do business here.
THEY DESERVE NO STARS !! I attempted to purchase 22k worth of product and its been two years and nothing to show for it accept a ulcer and a major headache from dealing with business owner Jason Dragon. i was given a store credit when they could not fill my order after a year and a half! ...now Iam still waiting to even see if they have anything in inventory to fill my order and that has taken 3 month to even get a list of what useless product they have left ! i recommend going somewhere else cause they take your money and play games
This is a great place with some top of the line equipment and used computer parts and systems. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and willing to make deals on used items. Worth the look if you are looking for a computer system.
Good place. My second purchase today. Knowledgeable techs. Reasonable prices on used and refurbished equipment. All warrantied.
I am a High-school student and Im looking to go into the tech field and I reached out to them to schedule a job shadow and they got back to me quickly and allowed me to come in and interview the staff as well as give me a full tour of the store. The staff was very knowledgeable and very friendly. They take their work very seriously and really care about their customers, highly recommend.
Great place with personal service and family owned/operated. Jason & staff make you feel like your computer and information are a priority and in most cases can service your PC on the spot or within 24 hours. Highly recommend and well worth the drive from east valley. Thank you Dragons!
Nice soothing atmosphere. Ed was great. He was very knowledgable bout the questions i asked.i say give this man a raise ! Im going to recommend emerald computers to all my friends for all their computer needs i even found some wants.
As long as you dont mind not putting anything on your hard drive (as in pictures) and you dont mind not being able to change the name from Emerald for your main account for the computer, it works fine . If you find it out after the warranty you are out of luck.
I bought a refurbished laptop of HP brand.Price was reasonable and service of this laptop was great and outstanding as like as a new HP brand laptop.specially i want to thank their staff,they are very polite,smart and knowledgeable.
This place is better than going to one of the big stores. Helpful staff always willing to help you out with any questions
Everything is crazy overpriced selling used 16gb ddr4 ram for $120 when new it’s $70Customer service is horribleDO NOT GO HERE
Some days ago,i purchased a used laptop by Lenovo brand.I could not believe that it would work so well.Specially i want to thank Jason and their qualified technician from my heart.
The only place to go for true tech value!
Ive come her several times for servers and workstations. I usually work with Austin when Im there and have nothing but positive things to say about the shop. Good warranty and excellent customer service.
Im a graphic designer and need a fast computer because its my main work tool. A week ago my pc didnt turn on, Im really tech savvy but this time I couldnt solve it for myself. I asked Emerald Computers for help and they not only fixed it but offered me a better graphics card for a great price and with a fast turnaround. Im so glad that I told all my friends to use their services.
A gem tucked away in a quiet corner of Peoria. What a great shop! Ed, the technician I spoke with, is a computer wizard. My next computer purchase will definitely be at Emerald Computers.
You cant beat the prices not the knowledge these guys have. Excellent customer service as well.
Emerald Computers, and Jason Dragon have built my last two desktop computers, they also sold me a great used laptop. They have serviced my computers every time I downloaded a virus or did something to kill my computer. This is the place to go for high quality service at low prices. They really care about me and my problems. I will be getting my next computer here for sure.
I have used Emerald for several hardware purchases and upgrades and the service has been excellent. I especially appreciate their inventory of reasonably-priced used gear.
Great
Feel very fortunate to live close to this store. Convenient to sell to and sell cheap used products. If you havent been there I suggest checking it out.
Strip and stole my graphics card. Destroyed my mother board even though my graphics card was operational. Told me it never worked when it did. Only thing wrong with my PC was the hard drive, but killed my second, very expensive graphics card. They are scam artist. Caused multiple blue screen of death on my PC ( I was able to fix since Im a secret shopper). As far as I can tell, nothing but scam artists who rob the common man. Since I knew their was problems with just the hard drive I knew what I needed to do. They take and steal, do not trust. This place should be ashamed of their practice. They score a 10/10 for breaking stuff, and a -100/10 for fixing and a 10/10 for being terrible people. You guys won a lawsuit, and money owed.
Most pleasant computer techs Ive found in the valley so far, love the shop would love to work in an environment such as this, and they are super nice with e-cycling
The man who helped me there was a nice guy. Made it clear and understandable what my problem was and it didnt even cost me alot check these guys out if you got computer/laptop problems.
Incredible prices from a business that has integrity
Our company was in desperate need of a second computer. Jason and his staff got us exactly what we needed at a fantastic price. I recommend Emerald for all of your computer needs.
I got a good deal on a computer there, but then after 3 months the computer crashed. The whole screen turned black out of nowhere and Ive barely used it. I tried contacting the store five times and three of the times Ive left a nice voicemail just asking when they will be available to fix it (I live an hour away) and never once did I get a call back!Its one thing to sell bad computers and quite another to not call customers back after multiple attempts.
Actually enjoy just visiting after business is taken care of. Austin is a genious.
Excellent service, Prompt and knowledgeable!!! Thank you!!!
Horrible not professional! these people are scam artist i gave them my com that was working, just wanted to see why it was slow. they give it back to me completely dead wont even turn on and they had the NERVE TO TELL ME i gave it to them like that. Did nothing to make it better and told me to get out! All of the other comments are there own! DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!
Great service took the time to explain things
My roommates and I have purchased refurbished computers there. Great customer service
I needed a mining rigs for ethereum, got one for a decent price,I am very satisfied with the service, staff replied to all my questions in a thorough manner. Did not have to try the repair service yet, hopefully I won’t have too :) .All in all, I would definitely recommend it.
Great deals and knowledgable staff. What else could you ask for?
Company is great. Very good at what they do, and responsive when needed. Would recommend
A while ago my laptop had a problem.I could not turn ON and the display used to be black.A friend of mine spoke at this servicing center.I went there and talked to the staff.Really i love their behavior and politeness.Within 30 minutes my problem was solved.Now my laptop smoothly working.........
Great local computer store! Owner is nice and prices are competitive
Great and fast service. Jason answered every question we had and we ended up with an awesome custom PC. Tucked away in a corner but one of the best computer stores weve come across!
Excellent customer service. Everyone was polite, professional and very helpful. .
Its a good company buy stuff off of you for low prices and then sell them for more but thats what they all do.
Great prices on great products. Plus knowledgeable staff. asho
THIS PLACE IS A MESS. nO ONE EVER GETS BACK TO YOU. tHINGS TAKE FOREVER TO GET FIXED. nO ONE EVER AROUND TO AK QUESTIONS/ hAVE TO GO INTO THE STORE FOR ANYTHING AS THE PHONE SERVICE IS A FAKE-OUT. tHIS PLACE HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE i HAVE EVER SEEN.
Just got a new desktop, customer service was amazing. Price was great, I would recommend you go check them out.
I used this company for the first time in 2002 in an emergency situation. I had gone to 3 other places prior to going there and all of the other 3 gave me MUCH higher estimates and much longer turnaround time; 1 even said there was no fix. Not only did they get me back up and running immediately, but for half of the cost of competitors. Since then, I have moved and made the mistake of trying a couple of other places for purchases and repairs. I will never do that again. Even though I live 1400 miles away, I mail in my computers for repair, and purchase everything through Emerald either over the phone or online. I guess you can say that I am a customer for life no matter where I live!
One of the worse headache one can encounter during the day is to have your PC unable to boot, and suddenly you are faced with a threat of losing all your files....the worse case scenario is when you cant get good IT personals to help fix the PC up for you. Man!!! it is the worse feeling ever.Fortunately, ever since i was introduced to Emerald Computers such headaches are headaches of the past. Because i enter into their shop with damaged PC and come out with my PC fixed as new.See Emerald Computers today with PC problems and you will be glad you did :)
They have nothing but over priced junk
Showed up 2 hours before close and Adam helped me diagnose the random reboots. i7 3770k cpu, raid 0 ssds for boot, sli 680 cards, full liquid, 16g ram, everything overclocked around 40-60% so Id describe it as a decently high end gaming pc. Ended up being faulty power supply while under load (antec 650w platinum rated).
Awesome service saved me a ton of money on a fix for a laptop for my son and i even got a sweet deal on one for me
Guy seemed very shady, was not greeted upon entrance. Seemed like I was bothering rather than being helped.
Super accommodating....excellent customer service.
Originally had issues...But they have been taken care of.
Poor customer service. Purchased 11 refurbished computers, 5 of which broke within a week.
Great service jason is awesome
Great information
Great place!
This guy Jason is a joke
Austin is the bombsauce!
