SWS DID ME DIRTY!

SWS DID ME DIRTY! I took 3 computers to SWS for service. I have an older laptop that I was having a problem updating, but worked very well otherwise. SWS made several attempts to rectify the issue with no luck. On their final attempt, they somehow damaged the ability to use Wifi AND DID NOT TELL ME ...

SWS Electronics and Computers is a great place to go for local purchase of any of your computer needs. I feel that they have a really good selection of most of the frequently needed parts for building computers or upgrading them. They also have a huge selection of cables, wiring, attachments and plu...

While SWS has a great selection of parts that will fit most people's needs, the staff is a great disappointment. They try to upsell on darn near everything and the overall feel of the business is starting to feel like a big box store. Their prices are getting out of hand and the staff, instead of ...

I needed a upgrade from Windows 7 (:() and was very happy with the service at SWS. I have been here before, but not with such a complex problem.
I want to add, I know little to nothing about computers. I am an "Oldster"!
At least that is my excuse! SWS knows EVERYTHING and is very patient. They s...

I've seen stuff online with shipping cheaper than their cheapest product. I went in for a headset and wasn't thrilled that my friend convinced me to buy it. The return policy is unless it's broken you can't exchange it if you just didn't like it. So that sucks. As I'm not to thrilled but now stuck w...

My desktop has been dropping my home wireless signal off and on since I bought it two years ago. I finally got fed up and took it to SWS. They installed a new wireless card in less than 24 hours for about $45 (that's including tax, labor, the part, everything) and I haven't had a problem since. They...

I've been shopping at SWS since the late 90's when they were located on Plumer before they moved to the Speedway store. Back then as now, the staff always helped me to troubleshoot an upgrade, installation, hardware or software problem. They've got the best computer electronics inventory in town, ...

I phoned the store up after my PC blue screened - SWS took time on the phone to talk me through the problem, correctly diagnosed the problem as a bad video card, had the desired card in stock, it worked well. I was up and running within the hour.

What a fabulous retail experience! Trustworthy beyond measure. Traveling the national parks in an RV, I experienced problems indicating my laptop had a problem not worth fixing. So I bought a new MSI laptop at SWS. It was a beauty, but when I later dry camped [also called boondocking] I started to...

A very important local business to support if you are into computers they will match Best Buy and you can get accessories and components right away opposed to waiting for shipping from online stores. The owners are very nice people if you ever speak to them in-store you'll appreciate the hard work ...

Looking for a business level desktop, thought I would give a local business a shot. I'm glad I did! SWS exceeded my expectations and saved me money from what I would have spent at box store or online. Chandler advised me on everything I needed and nothing I didn't. Customization work took less than...

A great experience as always. I picked up a Corsair K90 keyboard earlier today, the staff had helpful suggestions and recommended similar products - both more and less expensive. While up selling is an unfortunate part of retail these days. This felt more like advice from professionals who were fami...

Currently customers wait outside for employees to go fetch the product requested. I dont mind, as it was a short wait under the shade of a gazebo. My request was a little discombobulated but the employee was able to figure it out and get me the part that no other store had in stock within minutes.

I've been doing business with SWS since 2009 and have only seen such quality of personnel, service, and product back during my early days as an electronics technician in the 80's.
Besides having most everything I need and the knowledge to support that inventory to service the customer, they can exp...

Not as cheap as you can get online, but if you want to get it faster, with decent prices, this is the local place to go. This is my go to place for power supplies and cases (because shipping gets expensive) and anything that I need urgently.

If you need a cord, or cable or computer part, check here first before going all over city. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they don't have longer hours for those of us who work days. They need to extend their hours to 9 pm.

Today's real world needs are with the most secure AC Routers, (IPV6), they have some but too expensive to buy. The staff is friendly and know the location of...
