Atman Computer

Just went in for a minor issue with my laptop. It was fixed real quick and the service was great. I’ll be bringing my laptop here again if I have another issue. Thanks!

Andy’s «house calls,» are not inexpensive … but, I consider the money to be very well spent. He’s prompt, and works quickly and confidently. For me, so far, his advice has proven to be sound, has resulted in smooth-​running systems.
I have not, yet, had occasion to do any in-​store dealings with Atman. However, for those of us who much prefer home service over lugging heavy components around town, this is a welcome and reliable resource.

After spending a few minutes browsing the inventory at Atman Computer, it became very clear that Andy (owner) is passionate about the quality of product he stocks.
From HDMI cables, harddrives, 1000W+ power supplies, home stereo, to apple accessories — you will be hard pressed to find this level of detail at Best Buy or Fry’s.
With the closing of Radio Shack on Geary, not only am I glad to have discovered Atman Computer, but mostly annoyed I didn’t give them a try sooner.

My hard drive was crash and I have it repaired in this store. They charge me 45 $ for detection. After that, they say I need to pay 500 $ and he can fix it. About one month later, they told me they cannot fix it with 500 $, if I pay 2000 $ they can restore my data. They are dishonest and only think about money. Trust me, you will waste your time and money here, and never get satisfactory results.

decades ago, brought many software programs, computer parts from them.
dropped in to find a specific kind of software. found they don’t carry it anymores
at least they recommeded something i might have already.
later found there are free downloads on line…

A store like this, I don’t care about the level of service or even friendliness. It’s been around as long as I’ve lived in SF and is a stalwart holdout for neighborhood computer parts shops in San Francisco. It beats fighting traffic and parking at Central Computer if you know exactly what you need and can accept that you are going to pay full retail price for the convenience of having the part you need on hand right now. Minus one star for not carrying more off-​brand parts. Monster cable? Come on.

I’m all for helping out a privately owned small business, especially in the days of Newegg and Amazon, able to shoot you a deal, but $ 15.00 for a bracket listed online for as low as $ 4.99 — $ 10.32, I can’t help you that much. A 32−67% markup on price just isn’t logical.

Atman Computer is not a video converting business. It doesn’t deserve one star because it’s not their specialty. But for computer gear, particularly PC, they rock. They hooked me up with a sweet laptop for a great deal. But that’s not why I went there.
I was looking for a surge protector. They didn’t have a large selection, but they had quality like an APC surge protector with more than 6 outlets (can’t remember how many) for $ 20. I ended up getting a surge protector with 6 outlets for $ 10, and the quality is better than what chains sell for that price.
They don’t know much about Linux, but if it’s Windows, they’ve got you covered.

BEWARE! I went into this shop looking for someone to transfer some old video cassettes to DVD. The guy working the counter, I assume he is also the owner, wanted to charge me $ 380.00! That is for two cassettes, 4 disks each. I asked why so much? He said it was because he would have to watch each one. Whatever dude! I know that doing the transfer can be done in high speed. I went somewhere else… cost me $ 100 for the whole shebang! Shame on you Atman Computer. Instead of making a loyal customer, you get a very bad review.
This guy is a big liar and will not hesitate to rip you off. Too bad for him. Loyal customers and good reviews make a booming business. Now I know why his shop was so quiet. Well deserved.

I brought my computer in on April 7, 2011, to get it fix but I could get it to run, I reinstall my window vista that I got, my sound didn’t even before I reinstall vista, both of my cd drive is not working, I’m miss out, you make it worse than when I brought it in, I’m making a complaint to the better business on this, I also will call channel about your service, I’m also make comment on service on Unilocal and other site wish I will post later on. The store I went to was on 5860 Geary Blvd in San Francisco

Was just thinking about how certain I am that this place actually stole the battery out of my laptop when I trusted it with them. How short sighted and low is that?!? Then all the other ways they tried to rip me off afterwards!!! This is the worst store I’ve been to in the last five years to the best of my memory.

Great place! Forgot ticket to Outside Lands and they opened the store for us after hours and printed the ticket! So nice!!!

Long ago, I bought, modems and they break within a few months and I also bought a cd drive for over $ 200 and it broke within a month.
scammers.

Took my sister’s laptop in with a broken power button, they had it done in two days without having to order any new parts for the price of only an hour of labor. Will definitely return here for any future computer issues.

Unassuming store provides very good work at a fair price. They have fixed performance problems with my laptops many times. They are my technical services solution provider.

They’re not so geeky when they are cleansing all the viruses you’ve accumulated from downloading all those movies to the hard drive of your Pornography Machine.
These are decent guys that know what they’re doing and charge a fair price.
