Computers in Anchorage, AK

“Went in to look at their computer/laptop inventory and to see what else they have. I had some questions about selling/upgrading my old laptop and they convinced me to fix it and answered all the questiones i had. I bought a new ssd hard-drive and followed their instructions so its working again!
Im a novice computer enthusiast and they were very helpful. Im glad i got my old laptop working again and their time for answering all my questions.

Their prices are a bit over what you would find online, but they're local and i can respect that.”

““Best Buy: A Magical Land of Electronics and Existential Crises”

Walking into Best Buy is like stepping into an alternate dimension where time stands still, and self-control goes out the window. I went in for a $10 HDMI cable, but somehow left with a $600 sound system, a “smart” fridge, and a serious questioning of my life choices.

1. The “Help” Paradox
The staff at Best Buy are a mystery. When I need help, they scatter like ninjas in a puff of smoke. But the minute I start to wonder if I can lift a 70” TV by myself, they materialize out of nowhere to remind me of the warranty options.

2. Aisles of Temptation
There’s something in the air at Best Buy that makes you think, “Yes, I do need a drone,” even if you live in a tiny apartment with no outdoor space. Next thing you know, you’re holding a gaming chair you’ll never use while seriously considering a karaoke machine for “occasional parties” that you never throw.

3. The Checkout Gauntlet
Best Buy checkout lines feel like mini obstacle courses where you’re bombarded by snack-sized impulse buys, extended warranties, and obscure cables you’re certain you’ll need one day. By the time you get to the register, you’re in so deep you’ll add a bag of batteries and a portable fan, just for the thrill.

4. The Unbox… or Puzzle Challenge?
Getting your tech home is one thing—figuring out the packaging is another. Every item comes with layers of packaging so complicated it requires an engineering degree or five YouTube tutorials to free your device from its box.

All in all, Best Buy is an adventure. Just bring a budget, a list, and maybe a reminder that, no, you probably don’t need that $3,000 coffee maker that also plays music.”

“First time I’ve been in Anchorage & needed a couple items I forgot to bring on my Alaska trip. The store wasn’t visible like most Apple stores, but each person I asked for directions (I was walking from my hotel) knew exactly where it was & happy to point me in the right direction. Once at the Apple store I was really appreciative of the quick expert help !”
