Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Geek Squad installed items very fast and explained all very thoroughly.

Love Geek Squad. Used to keep up with technology. Arrrgh. Not anymore because the awesome Geek Squad is able to handle Arrrgh so much better.

This protection is perfect because you're covered when you have an accident. I bought this computer for the shop and the guys aren't always the most careful. I knew it would come in handy eventually.

It’s been a wonderful protection program and every time I’ve had a problem, I’ve been able to get my laptop fixed

Very wonderful always recommend they are fast to answer

Chromebook is well manufactured. The purchase price is very reasonable for the use needed. Both of my boys, (middle school & high school ) prefer to use this Chromebook vs. the one provided by their school. I highly recommend this Chromebook for those parents shopping for their kids for school. Lightweight, keypad size and pad, perfect.

I am writing this review because I believe that the protection plan isn't worth the money. I purchased 3 protection plans for the children at the beginning of the school year because of virtual learning. All three computer glitch here and there and have to be shut off because the touchpad stops working and it disappears in the settings. Because I am a busy mother, I just had my children restart their computers every time the touchpad stopped working. However, one of my twins accidentally cracked the screen on his computer so I brought it to the geek squad to get it repaired. I also told them about the touchpad issue. I dropped the computer off on 12.11.20. I was informed that the approximate return date would be 12.28.20. On 12.16.20 I received a message stating that they had received my device. On the 28th, I still hadn't heard anything else from geek squad. I realized that it was the holidays so I was patient. I think I called them on the 30th to follow up. I was on hold for over an hour and I never got to speak with anyone from geek squad. One of the store representatives and informed me that the 28th is only an approximate date which I understand, but communication and updates would have been nice. Keep in mind, My kids have virtual school and need their computers. I didn't hear anything else from geek squad until 1.5.21 stating that the device was assigned to an agent. On that same day, I received an email stating that they were assessing my repair and may need to replace the device. On 1.12.21, I still hadn't heard anything from geek squad. Instead of calling the store this time, I call customer service. I was able to speak with someone and they informed me the computer was approved for a junk code or approval code to get a new computer. He stated that I would need to take the code to the store and ask them to replace the computer. He stated that if they did not have the same computer, they would upgrade it to the next best version. I asked him where could I find the approval code because I never received it so he gave me the approval code. I went to the store on the same day, 1.12.21, and asked about replacing the computer. The representative at the desk stated that they would just give me a refund for the computer and I would need to go and find the computer. He also informed me that I would need to purchase another protection plan. I couldn't understand why I would need to purchase another protection plan. My son had a minor crack on his computer and I know that the crack could have been repaired; however, I believe that the hardware was messed up on the computer from the touchpad and that's what could not be fixed. I find it hard to believe that a screen with a minor crack could not be fixed. Needless to say, I had to walk to the back and try to find his computer, the same make and model. No one was available to walk me back to make sure that I was getting the same computer. When I arrived in the computer section, the representative, Erik, was somewhat available to assist me. He wasn't really present and involved with my concern or issue. I found the computer, but it was more than the amount that they approved me for. They stated that they did not sell my son's computer again. Although the computer was the same model, make and it had the same specs. They stated that I would have to pay the difference and pay for another protection plan. I was not happy at this point. Erik stated that he would get a manager to see if they could override the difference. Davion, the geek squad manager approached the counter and I spoke to him first. I explained the issue and he stated that he doesn't know why the customer service agent would tell me that they would upgrade the computer if they did not have the original version. He was very rude and not helpful. He looks at me and stated that I would have to pay the difference because they do not upgrade. Erik chimes in and states that we have a similar model but I think it had a different skew number. The difference was about a 50 dollar difference. Davion looks at me and states, well it such a small amount so he "guess" they can approve the difference. But guess what, I was still left without my protection plan because my protection plan only covered the other computer. So in the end, they stated that they would ship my son out another computer(so we still have to wait on him to complete his work). They stated that we would receive it in one day. I hope this is true because this has never been the case every time I've ordered from Best Buy. But I'm not left with no protection plan for one of my kids and two other defective computers that have protection plans but they can't miss a month of school for Best Buy to find that they can not repair them. Not to mention, I would then have to purchase 3 additional protection plans. I am so frustrated and upset with the lack of customer service and the fact that Best Buy sold me three defective computers. I believe that's why they were on sale at the beginning of the year, but I digress.

It's been worth price in the past for other purchases.

How are you not going to purchase this protection plan?! With expensive purchases comes the potential for expensive accidents. Thankfully I can rest easy bringing my $3k laptop to coffee shops, class, social gatherings, and just about anywhere else knowing if the worst happens then I’m completely covered.

Easy to contact for all tech related things and issues

So far so good. Runs smooth. I’m not very computer friendly but I’ve managed to get through.

The in-store reps were amazing and very helpful, but my overall Geek Squad service experience was frustrating. My laptop repair took much longer than expected, and I ended up having to contact corporate to get clear answers and updates. I appreciate the kindness and professionalism of the store team, but the process itself definitely needs improvement.

Great price on the 2 year warranty i could not pass it up. Now i have piece of mind on the computer.

Excellent for my online lessons! Easy to start and use.

Haven't had the pleasure to use them yet however I received an email letting me know that they were there if I needed them which was great nice follow up

Great service all the time,I used the service before and it is good

I never thought the computer I bought for a summer class would start giving me problems less then 2 months into using it. Granted it was a new product so it was bound to have some problems. Having Geek Squad production plan helped me to get nearly $1700 back to me in a form of BestBuy gift card. I was able to use that money and buy accessories for my camera I had just purchased a little before my computer for the fall semester. I worked out for me because I was about to struggle through the last 4 weeks of class and then got to get my money back and spend it on stuff I needed for school right after. I felt like Geek Squad really helped me save a lot of money with their 2 year protection plan.

I have purchased a few laptops from Best Buy over the last few decades and I am such of huge fan of their purchase options and their Geek Squad support. I am a die-hard Geek Squad fan, they are so professional and efficient. Everyone should be buying their computers at Best Buy. You really can't go wrong.

This is good to have incase of any accidents. I'd recommend this especially if you want to protect yourself from having to upgrade a device prematurely.

Geek Squad is the best! They can help out with anything you might need help with!!!
