Academia Computer - Althanstraße 27

Knowledgeable & friendly service.

Excellent service, Did delidding CPU and GPU for a laptop. Good quality.

Very friendly. It is a nice place to order products or for technical support. I had a specific gaming notebook in mind but due to helpful advice I got a different one with really good settings.

Based on my experience Academia Computer is highly recommended and gets a well-deserved 5 stars. The short story: Paul Singer of Academia Computer replaced my Hitachi hard drive with a solid state drive and my windows 8.1 with windows 10 + Office basics. He also gave me back my Hitachi connected to a board with transformer so I could access my old data. His advice was spot on - I'm now happily working with Windows 10 and the new drive. This happy ending is all due to Paul's competence and patient work late on a Friday afternoon. If you're interested in the long story here it is: My Lenovo x131e failed the Targeted Read Test. I Googled what that meant and general opinion was that I'd better backup my hard disk before I lost everything. I then googled "laptop repair shop 1090" and got Academia Computer. I clicked the link and went to the website. A chat session with Paul Singer of Academia Computer popped up. This was on afternoon of Friday 29 December. Paul (in very good English!) offered to have a look if I came straight away. I got there about 5pm. He suggested most likely solution was to replace my Hitachi hard drive with a solid state drive and my Windows 8.1 with Windows 10. I said I was happy with my Windows 8.1 and not keen on finding all my apps again and reinstalling them. He said he would try to clone my hard drive - but was not confident that my faulty hard drive would clone successfully. I went to the McDonalds just down the road and waited for his call. He is a patient man - he worked at the cloning for some time but eventually called and said we would have to look at other options. He also patiently - and accurately explained to me the pros and cons of each.

Excellent service, excellent quality, absolutely recommended. Paul was helping me throughout the whole "troubleshooting" which was caused by my mistakes. He is patient, friendly, super quick in his responses and has alot of experience. Anytime I would buy from him again. His advice is worth every penny.

The place is stinks with sigaret smell! I brought 2 computers in Friday and the tech said he will check it on Monday and call me. He didn't. When I called him he said he will check it on Thursday and call me. Again, he didn't. After few days he called me and said he couldn't even check the computer and that it's dead. When I asked to transfer the hard disk with all the info to an external device he wanted 200 euro for each computer! I bought an special device in Amazon to transfer the info in 12 euro and my husband transfer it by himself.

Perfect service but dont firget your money

My old laptop stopped charging, and when I went to Paul the first time it was with the idea of changing the battery and eventually making an upgrade. He really knows a lot, and after convincing me that for an almost 7 years laptop I should just buy a new one, he carefully helped me choose a new one. We discussed a lot about the different aspects that I was looking for, and he advised me in a number of situations that I would never thought about before. Incredibly reliable, very professional and above all accessible to any questions a costumer has.
