1. Canada Computers - CLOSED
Canada Computers is perhaps the most astonishingly useful computer parts store in Southern Ontario, and as the downtown Toronto location (one of more than a dozen that stretch from London to Waterloo to Hamilton to the GTA to Kingston to Ottawa, with…More »
2. Creatron
Toronto, ON M5T 1R5
(416) 977-9258
Category:
Electronics
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
For those of you just tuning in, technology - and this thing called the Internet - have changed things. Sometime between the beginning of time and about fifteen years ago, geeks of all stripes delighted in fooling around with electronics, building…More »
3. College Home Hardware
Toronto, ON M5T 1S3
(416) 922-1158
Category:
Hardware Stores
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
In the beginning, there was... well, I'm not sure. Hopefully a set of instructions or something, or the universe is likely to fall apart like an Ikea bookcase put together without tools. This is not at all relevant, so let's just hit fast-forward on…More »
4. Apple Store - Eaton Centre
Toronto, ON M5B 2H1
(647) 258-0801
Categories:
Computers,
IT Services & Computer Repair
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I've spent a lot of money in here over the past... wow... six months. An awful lot of money, though not all of it mine. Let's break it down:
1. Sister's MacBook
2. My MacBook Pro
3. Replacement screen on my iPhone
For the notebooks, I've never had an…More »
5. Apple Retail Store
Until coming here almost a year ago, I'd never really been to an Apple Store during a weekday. Well, there was one time in Buffalo at Walden Galleria, but that didn't prepare me for this.
The place was packed. Like, wall-to-wall, people shopping,…More »
6. Embur Computers Ltd
Oakville, ON L6J 6X8
(905) 844-5100
Categories:
IT Services & Computer Repair,
Computers
Since starting work across the street, this has become my local computer store. Though I'd honestly prefer a Canada Computers or another of the College Street crowd in Toronto, this is definitely a serviceable replacement. The selection is hardly…More »
7. Factory Direct Computer Outlet
Toronto, ON M5T 1R9
(416) 962-7788
Categories:
Computers,
Mobile Phones,
Outlet Stores
I can go either way on Factory Direct - either you can really luck out and get an amazing deal, or wind up in jail on multiple homicide charges for killing all the staff.
So, it's a mixed bag.
I generally watch the flyers for deals on refurbished…More »
8. Sayal Electronics
This used to be a favourite of mine. As an electronics hobbyist and, at one time, a computer engineering student, one needs to buy little bits and bobs to make devices that will one day enslave humanity and doom us all. That's right, folks:…More »
9. Rtc Electronics
Mississauga, ON L4W 4M1
(905) 212-9770
A solid fixture of what was once a strip mall of 5-6 electronics and computer stores, RTC Electronics used to be a place where you could pick up computer parts and electronics components. Over the years, they've transformed into a primarily…More »
