GBPoor Customer Service and Communication I heard amazing things about Micro Center, so when my computer needed a repair I was happy one was close to me. The associates both times I went in for service said very few words to any questions I had. When their answers were longer and used lots of technical terms, I essentially had to ask them to "dumb it down" for me and was met with 1 or 2 word answers. I ended up overpaying way too much to have all of my data completely gone on a 5 year old laptop, which was not made clear to me at all before I approved the purchase. I was under the impression I just needed the swollen battery to be replaced. I strongly regret going to Micro Center which is a shame because I had such high hopes. I also don't think the associate was knowledgeable as he would give very vague or broad comments such as "your 5-year-old laptop could last a day or 10 years".

GBShocked to Hear MC Has Negative Reviews I have been a customer of Microcenter for years and have bought numerous laptops and other gear from them and have never had an issue. In fact when I learned from an online forum and computer news site that Microcenter had bad reviews - I was shocked. I feel far more secure buying my equipment from a local store with actual people with whom I can interact than buying online from sellers unknown.

GBGhosted and Ignored After you Spend $$$$ Microcenter is fine for advice when willing to spend thousands to build a system, but heaven forbid you have a problem. Their tech team is incompetent – at best. After spending more than $4,000 on a custom-build, they simply throw their hands in the air when it does not work. Beware if you need anything more than an off-the-shelf piece of equipment.

GBOn 3/23 my wife went to do a return On 3/23 my wife went to do a return , basically returning a gaming labtop that I purchased from microcenter . I have indeed purchased 4 labtops within the last 30 days , and have exchanged them either due to thermals , performance not what it was advertised or reviewed or defective unit . Last purchase was a msi Titan 18hx , when spending 5k on gaming labtop , which is a very expensive investment you have to be 100 percent about the product your buying . My biggest concern today isn’t the fact they were upset because I swapped the device , my two major concerns are one the way the General manager approached her asking her what happened ?? And his tone and his approach , he stated that he wouldn’t be able to do any more returns due his loss of money from a financial side , which we did anyways because it was within the return period , as a general manager he should have greeted her first asked what is the reason her husband keeps returning labtops , as a leader running his building where all his associates are watching him and how he offers customer service in a time where every dollar spent could be detrimental to his business survival he actually doesn’t care . I hope this review reaches as many people as possible to understand that customer service and how you are treated is very important because people now have options , and where to shop . Their listed specs don’t match what their vendors send them and that is a problem . For example the MSI titan was advertised and listed that it will run the 64 Gig ram configuration at 5600MHZ which it doesn’t not . Out the box it runs at 4000MHZ and once you manually set the timings to anything above 5200 it becomes unstable and crashes . That isn’t the consumer fault that’s their fault . Also their open box items are stated that they are open box , meaning that a customer purchased them and returned them which now is an open box which isn’t the case for their open box policy . Their open box could mean they opened the unit for repair , or faulty screen which in that case should be listed as refurbished or reconditioned . I’m already in touch with with their corporate office and will be also filing a BBB complaint against this location for how they treated my wife . This is by far the most poor service I have ever acknowledged in my entire retail career .
