ComputerEdgge

Knowledgeable. Good service at a fair price.

Computer Edgge is just south of Checkers and across from Fat Jack’s, near the Edgewood intersection on Florida Ave. I have used this company since its start-​up as Computer Renaissance. They’re friendly, tech-​smart, fairly priced and honest. They are very busy so it’s good to pin them down to an approximate time when your computer will be ready. They are deluged with people calling up for «free advice» on home fixes which can be a frustrating interruption when checking in or trying to learn something (hence minus one star). There’s been only one guy working in there which seems understaffed for their work and call volume. They’ve usually fixed me within 48 hours. I don’t know what a «norm» might be.
I had a huge virus and crash and they were able to save EVERYTHING from my hard drive (photos, documents) which was sincerely appreciated (since I was behind on backing things up). The tech guy seems versatile and knowledgeable about the various operating systems. He upgraded my operating system at no charge (a $ 120 value if I did it myself).
They sell computer supplies, refurbished computers for good rates. I’m thinking the re-​load of my operating system, etc was about $ 130 and the locating/​saving of all my «stuff» was $ 85. Unfortunately I did have to re-​buy Microsoft Office… but I figure the whole new computer at under $ 300 was better than forking up double that for a new one. I highly recommend them.

The sign out front says Computer Edgge, but they apparently own Computer Renaissance too. The techs were friendly and helpful. I was apprehensive about taking my machine to someone I don’t know about, but was pleasantly surprised that my computer was gently and carefully tended to. Aside from the few days wait, they were up front and inexpensive.
