I have had several experiences with Marin Computers. The first was a comprehensive overhaul of my laptop which was successfully completed with efficiently and expertise. I had to return to them recently as I was having troubles with some SW They (Antone and Bonam) promptly invited me to come to their shop for support. Their knowledge and expertise is extensive and generous. Once again, they were able to successfully address my needs with very fair rates and VALUE that is undeniable and appreciated!

I had been hovering between buying a new macbook pro to replace my solid well loved and well traveled 2015 whose screen suddenly went black or having the screen replaced at the Apple store. Marin computers did it for a bit less, and in about 24 hours. Apart from the honest, rapid service, I also appreciated the serious workshop atmosphere of Marin Computers, over the luxury hotel chic of the Apple store

After my PC crashed, I brought it in to Marin Computers. Bonom gave me a couple options to try and get it back up and running. He was super helpful and was even able to rescue my hard drives. He rebuilt my PC and gave me a bunch of recommendations and tips to future proof and prevent issues in the future. Super helpful, fair priced, good turnaround and will definitely recommend!!

James fixed and optimized my gaming PC within only two days. He was communicative and made the process as painless as possible. Super pleased overall with the work hes doing at his shop I would highly recommend coming here for pc issues.

Stopped by yesterday because my dad decided to open up his MacBook Air and clean the inside, cascading to him breaking other things inside and trying to repair it himself. Long story told, went in and Bonom helped us at no cost. He was friendly and tried to guide us on what he was doing. I’d definitely go back. Highly recommend Marin Computers!

Just stopped by Marin Computers and met with James. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. If you need any computer help, James is 100% the person to see. Been to several computer stores in Marin and the Bay Area, and this is hands down the one to go to. Don’t even waste your time at a different store! Thank you James!

Great place to bring your PC if you have any issues. Prices are very reasonable and they will be able to diagnose and repair any of the problems you are running into. My gaming PC has been running great every since I brought it in for a repair. They also sell PCs if you are in the market for one. I highly recommend Marin Computers for any issues you are having with your PC!

I have used Marin Computers for computer repair and help to retrieve data when my computers have frozen or shut down for about 15 years. They have built several computers for our family at a portion of the cost of purchasing new ones at retail stores. Bonom and the rest are awesome, and always persistent in trying to fix any issue. They are friendly and charge fairly for their labor and hardware. I will continue to use and recommend them to everyone.

I don’t usually write bad reviews. These guys seemed nice and honest enough but my m1 laptop screen randomly cracked and after they fixed it, I woke up one morning two weeks later to it being busted again, without my having touched it - it was fine when I went to sleep. I spoke to them about it and their only solution was to pay for it all over again. They also charged me an extra $200, the first time around for “data recovery”, when we all know that replacing a screen doesn’t affect the data. Getting scammy vibes and they clearly got their screen from some cheap China electronic seller. So upsetting. Don’t go here.

If you cant wait for Apple, or dont want to pay their ridiculous fees, James or Bonom will diagnose your laptops problem, fix it, save all your data, or whatever you need, faster and cheaper than Apple. PCs too. They can also build a computer to your specifications.(Previous review 2022)When confronted with a murky technical mess, Bonoms nimble, creative brilliance is the only one Id trust to untangle it. Omniscient and masterful at data recovery, world travel, and mountaineering. Takes cash, trades, and spectacular photographs. Repairs, Buys, Sells, Trades: Macs/PCs. James is cool too:)11/9/2021 Previous review. (Five Stars)Bonom (the owner) can fix anything, hes the best. Twice my computer (different laptops) completely died. Twice Apple said they couldnt fix it in the store, theyd send it away for repair, but Id be without it for several weeks, pay hundreds of dollars, and probably loose all my data (thanks Apple). Twice Bonom fixed it, saved all my data. No problem. Dont even bother going to Apple, just come straight here. (They also sell refurbished computers.)

Honestly the only place youll ever need to go for anything computer related. Ill never go to the Apple store as long as I live within a reasonable distance of Marin Computers. Bonom is super knowledgeable and helpful - he genuinely cares about working with his customers. Also, very reasonable/fair and transparent pricing. I came in with a very sad, very water damaged computer and walked out with a different & better computer (same hard drive) that evening.

Very smooth experience with these guys. The owner is really knowledgeable and a honest man. Repairs were done to my satisfaction in a prompt manner. Glad to know there are still some trustworthy places out here like Marin Computers for people who dont want to send their devices to OEM for repairs and pay an arm and a leg for the same service.

I needed a computer technician that could help me and my son to finish putting a computer together. We did know if all the parts and cables where in the right place. So we decided to take the computer to Marin computer. James and Bonoms did a good job. They got the whole project done and went above and beyond to make sure the computer was running properly.

I bought my first computer from Marin Computers in 1998. Since then I have purchase several computers from Marin Computers, both PCs and Macs. I also have my computers serviced here. They are efficient, affordable, and highly skilled but my favorite thing about this place is that they have never tried to sell me something I dont need and that is why I dont go anywhere else.

Few words to describe how rude and unprofessional Bonom is. And a complete mess.... my computer was caked in filth upon receiving and also had to be brought back to re-install the new battery he replaced because it was moving around inside my MacBook and hitting the fans. He snidely told me to take to Apple—lol— after he was paid hundreds of dollars to do the job correctly. Never again. He knows what’s he talking about when it comes to computers but it’s not worth dealing with his demeanor, his condescending attitude, and his filthy rats nest of a shop.

You CAN recover data from a Mac without having to spend a small fortune! The Apple Store suggested I go to Data Recover in Novato, but they quoted me an astronomical number. Marin Computers was less than half and figured out several other issues related to my older version computer. Very happy with results.

They are quick in diagnosing problems. Also, they saved all my data from the computer very quickly and professionally. I was in a panic, but they saved my photos, books, and business documents. Highly recommended for this computer service. Saviors!

I wanted to delete my previous review, but unfortunately was not able to. Had a bit of an issue and Marin Computers ended up empathizing, fixing the issue, following up, resolving and going out of their way to resolve it. I appreciate that care and resolution toward the end.
