no knowledge of computers 3/15/2011

I was not please with the service, starting with the customer service. The person on the phone seem to have no knowledge of computers. more

Love this place and the helpful attitudes 2/14/2011

My computer had been infested with viruses and desperately needed an upgrade in the system. I live in the neighborhood, so I called them up and left my computer there. A few days later, all my computer's software and documents were intact, but the upgrade was done and the viruses all gone. I also recommended the place to a friend who burned up their motherboard, I don't know what happened, but they were happy after the visit.\r \r For a small business like this, the price is actually pretty reasonable. Honestly, I don't mind the money, as long as the job gets done.\r \r Oh, and for those of you complaining over the amount of time it takes for them to do things, stop. I mean, they don't have an employee for each computer and they've got lots of computers and hardware to work on. Just wait your turn guys. \r \r The staff there and the owner are great people. Helpful, friendly, and great. Recently, there was a theft that stole a new computer; so that's probably why they're a little bit more car more

WIZARDS!!!! CHEAP! Not racist...Great rep w/ black computer expert 6/4/2007

Fixed my 2006 XP laptop when it wouldn't connect to internet in any way, in 3 hours, only charged $65. Then, recovered data from my old 98 emachines desktop when the hard drive had crashed....two other computer stores, one in S.F. and one in South S.F., had told me that it would cost thousands of dollars and that the hard drive would have to be sent out and rebuilt in a "clean room." General Computer did the job in two days and recovered thousands of saved web page files for all of my research topics...and only charged me $250, which is pretty good for saving me thousands of hours of my work!\r As to the poster who says they're racist, this company was recommended by the computer expert for the city of Alameda, who is a black man. He's crazy about General Computer. So am I. We've never seen any racism there. Their attitude was great. more

A Very Unpleasant Experience! 2/5/2007

This store is owned by some very rude and racist people. Went in on a Saturday looking for a computer cord--was stared at like i was trying to steal something, found the cord and was greeted rudely with "Do you know what that's for?" Was told "i know youre gonna come back & return it!" and to "hurry up". Was given a hard time about my credit card. Was it mine? Couldnt beleive this kind of attitude still exists in the Lake Merritt area of Oakland, yet! Put the cord back and quietly left. Patronize this store at your own risk, or better yet, go to the Computer Store on Lakeshore, theyre alot nicer! more
