Am dropping this review with passion and sincerity. The I.T guy in my state office couldnt help out despite spending an hour on my laptop but stepping my feet at discount electronics, Anderson. Am glad to meet a cool guy walking to me with a smile. He said, how can we help you today, sir. In my mind I was thinking he will be the same kind of I.T I just left in my office. Low and behold he fixed my laptop in 5mins, what an amazing guy. Kudos to Joseph, I wish I can increase this guy pay or give him a job close to me.Thanks Joseph, thanks discount electronics.

Ive done business with these folks many times and I always get great advice and reliable service. Theyve saved my bacon with data recovery issues and helped me make sound decisions about whether to repair or replace gear. Today, Tim even helped me figure out how to replace the battery in my UPS power supply system (a device they dont even service) without laughing when it turned out to be an incredibly simple process (I had looked for a manual online instead of a YouTube video to show me what to do - facepalm - doh!)Thanks Tim!

Tim helped a newbie like me find what I needed. He not only didnt push something I didnt need on me, he helped me find exactly what I needed at a great price!Thanks Tim!(P.S. The new Diablo 2 works perfectly! haha)

My desktop locked me out & bills were coming due, emails piling up--scary! So called, talked with Tim; he said bring it in. When I got there, he bypassed the passwords block and voila! In 15 minutes I was out of there with an accessible computer at no charge! Tim was courteous, knowledgeable, and gave honest feedback instead of a sales pitch. Great job!

We went in looking for a new computer for my father and a gentleman by the name of Josef helped us find everything we needed. Some accessories we purchased were top of the line, others refurbished; but everything works perfectly together. Will definitely continue shopping here. And we loved the art in the store too, so awesome.

I Love Discount Electronics! They know Everything about electronics, which I certainly do not! Now lets talk service...Brandon is the best, well so is the other guy, but I dont know his name. Back to Brandon, not only is he cute, but he has a big brain and awesome customer service. Yay, Brandon!

The staff here has always been courteous and helpful. I recently went in asking about an issue with my computer which was pretty big. Instead of trying to sell me something, the gentleman give me instructions on how to fix the problem. They will always have my business.

This is a GREAT place! Extremely knowledgeable. They had been recommended to me by a friend. I live near Dripping Springs and I traveled there for a problem with my laptop not responding, an issue I could not figure out. I was in the middle of an important project and very stressed. Brandon asked me to show him what I was experiencing. He figured it out very quickly, it was a configuration issue, not sure how I caused it, but he was able to fix it immediately!! PHEW! This is the second time I have driven to this location, with an issue on my previous laptop. They are top notch and for me, so worth the trip.

Went there today to ask how to get my HP laptop to project to two monitors. Told them the type of laptop and ports it had-he assured me the $25 cable he recommended would work as long as I have a USB-C port.Got home. Doesn’t work. Apparently there are different generations of USB-C ports and not all support video output. Can’t get my money back because they only offer store credit - obviously a policy because these situations likely occur often. If I would have known my own Google search would have been more useful than the confident guy working there, I would have ordered from Amazon.

I was in the market for a new lap top but thought Id see what Discount Electronics had to offer and I was very impressed. Kris was a great help, he pointed out different considerations for my needs, he pulled numerous lap tops for me to test and gave good, easily understood advice. The lap top I decided on needed memory, hard drive and software updates which Kris arranged for me. The lap top was ready to go when I arrived for the pick up the next day. I couldnt be happier with the machine I purchased and it is good to know that if I have any issues I have the technical support on hand to help out. Thanks Kris

The coolest computer store in Austin! This is how computer stores used to be and should be. Good mixture of new and used items, youre sure to find what youre looking for and will probably spend more than you mean to because the deals are so good. I love supporting stores like this!

When my computer stopped working and I thought my whole work life was lost to the ages, I came to Discount Electronics. Brandon is a great associate there who walked me through the steps of what I needed to do to keep on rolling. He helped me find a solid and reasonably priced replacement for a computer, preserved my hard drive data, and 3 hrs later, I have a new computer and all is well. Thanks, Brandon and Discount Electronics! You guys rock!!

Good deals, but buyer beware. When you go to the laptop manufacturers website, and it says this model is not compatible with Windows 10, maybe you shouldnt be selling them with it installed.

I have been a customer of the north Austin store since their inception. I have bought many computers and parts and have had more repaired. Kris has been there longer than most and he has the best customer service skills I’ve seen. I have always gotten 110% satisfaction out of that location, and have had numerous devices delivered, and always have had the same great CS. I recommend then to everyone I know.

Tim is the absolute man. I purchased a refurbished signed Lenovo desktop months ago and has been working incredibly well. Whenever I have tiny issues I bring her in and TIM knocks it out of the park.

I came in bound-and-determined to buy a new lap top after my cat chewed through my laptop charger. Tim was incredibly helpful and helped me dig through a barrel of chargers to find the kind that would fit my computer. Then he patiently took me through the specs of every laptop on the floor until we found the right one for me. And we did. He helped me find the perfect laptop and never made me feel like I was driving him crazy with my barrage of questions. Thanks TIM!!!!! Give this man a raise.

I went to discount electronics to upgrade my home office and was assisted y Tim.

Great products at an affordable price! I have purchased 2 desktops, a laptop, and a few monitors from here over the past couple of years - ALL devices still working great! During my last desktop purchase George at the Anderson Ln location went above and beyond to fix the issue on the desktop. He really made up for the inconvenience I initially experienced. George made me feel like an appreciated customer and not just another number or body walking through the store! DE has won a lifetime customer now!

A couple years ago this was an incredible place to do business with. They answered the phone and gave you great information. I am guessing some entity bought them out. Because they are horrible to deal with now. I bought a laptop. It did not work when it got here. I was on email with tech servicesFor 3 hours. It was still not working. I sent it back for a refund. After 2 weeks still no word from them.

Kris was absolutely wonderful todayMy husband is walking out with an incredibly powerful laptop that actually meets his specifications 😮!With a one year, don’t-have-to-buy-it-separately, warranty.Almost bought a lesser machine for more money at a big chain store the other day, so I’m much relieved that this place caught my eye the other day.And? They have fish. And art work that truly pops all over the store.(And I got ice cream)So, pretty much a win win win win

I went in there very frustrated with my purchase and walked out extremely happy with the service. Bought a tablet that ended up not working well but was just out of the warranty. They offered to replace it with a better one for just $25 more...then just did an even swap! Chris and the online sales department folks were very helpful.

Review №44

These guys are amazing. They always have great customer service at the South Austin Location, but this is the first time I have been to Anderson Lane. I was amazed!!!! Rio helped me out and he found exactly what I was looking for. I had online shopped and knew what I needed but in the store he knew exactly what I was looking for and where to find it. His customer service skills from that point on where just phenomenal. I needed to install a new operating system and hard drive to customize the computer to my spec. He literally RAN to get the hard drive and told me a time for the OS installation. I left the store because it was going to take a little bit of time and when I returned he had already rung up the transaction. He remembered my face (even though i was wearing a mask) and had a total ready for me before I even entered the store. I love Discount electronics and I will be back for sure.

Dropped in to pick up a PC for an office admin. I was greeted right away by Brandon who took time to listen to my questions and make recommendations based on my needs. He didnt try to upsell me which is always a plus. Once he verified the PC was in good working order, I was check out and on my way. Start to finish, 15mins in and out. I would recommend Discount Electronics, and specifically Brandon for anyone looking for a pleasant, no nonsense computer buying experience.

A big thank you to my discount electronics!!! I went in on the fly in search for some help to replace my Ethernet port and Patrick was amazing! He took the time to listen to my problem and help me find the replacement part. I was so pleased with the customer service I received, and just the fact that he took the time to stop what he was doing to help serve me was awesome. Thank you discount electronics for appreciating your customers and going above and beyond to provide excellent customer service.

The first time I went into DE was maybe Nov 2020, just to check the place out. I met Tim, and he was super helpful and friendly, and may have a bit of an OG vibe. I wasnt ready to purchase, so he wrote his name on a store business card and gave it to me. He informed me that I could order online, but Im not particularly knowledgeable with regard to computers/tech, and find that tedious. I kept his card with the express intention of coming back to him to help me find the right computer for me, because he made a good impression. So finally, I came back about 5 months later, called ahead to make sure hed be available, stopped by between breaks at my job, and within a few (20-25) minutes I was walking out with a laptop that does everything I may need it to do. He made sure the buttons and such all felt right, and that I wasnt going overboard with tech/hardware I wouldnt really need.. and reminded me to keep my receipt for tax season, since Ill mostly be using my laptop for that reason. Thanks, Tim!

I just experience some of the best customer service ever. I was assisted by Tim as I was buying computers for my school. He made my experience easy and effortless. He went above and beyond to help me get what I need to best serve our students. He takes time to listen and fully understand your technology needs. I am coming back and I am asking for Tim every time. I recommend you do the same.

Today I met Tim. He greeted me as soon as I came in. I told him I needed to leave my laptop for repair. He thought it would be a 10 day wait, but after a quick look , he fixed it in about 10 minutes, at no charge!! I was very pleased with Tims manner and patients. I went in expecting the worst, but I left a very happy customer! This has always been our go to place, and always will be!

Stopped by yesterday and was greeted by a staff member not wearing a mask during this pandemic. There was another staff member without one. City ordinance is in place for the wearing of masks. A state district judge denied the state’s request to quash a local order allowing officials to keep enforcing mask-wearing in Austin and Travis County.

Came in to the store today to see if they could help me with my laptop after Bust Buy said they couldnt help me because it is more than 5 years old. Rich and crew made me feel welcome and helped me trouble shoot the problem on the spot. Best Buy wouldnt even look at it. We found the issue and got it resolved in a professional manner. Thanks Rich!I did feel bad for his coworker who had to deal with a Karen while I was being helped. Bravo to him to keep his composure to a rude person like that.

Refurbished junk. you get what you pay for. I thought I was getting a custom built laptop at a good price. Instead I got a bunch of used parts rammed together. I inherited the previous owners buggy software issues. The warranty lasts one year. Three months after warranty expires the disk has an error and now I have a paper weight instead of a computer.

My wife and I went to Discount Electronics to purchase a new desk top and laptop computer, DE is the only place we buy from. Today we had Joseph help us and he was great, Joseph asked us what we need the computers for and after the conversation he took us to two different types of computers each and showed us the plus and minus on each and gave us recommendation for each computer. Joseph was awesome and did a great no pressure sale, just another awesome experience at DE. The staff at DE makes every visit in painless and easy, kudos to staff and management, not a better place to buy electronics.

Took it in to Discount Electronics and was helped by Chris who was fabulous at geriatric computer etiquette!

We visited the North Austin location last week and Matt helped both my wife and me select laptops for our unique needs. In addition to the substantial selection of refurbished devices, Matt was very knowledgeable about which device fits our needs precisely. Once we each made our selections, he made sure our purchases had the most current updates before we left the store. The part I appreciated most was Matts professional demeanor, friendliness, and proficiency in the products without the pressure to upgrade/spend more.
