Computers near Chapel Hill, NC

“The UNC Student Store is large and has 3 floors, a cafe, a pharmacy, print store, computer store, and medical bookstore all on one site. Lots of fan gear and easy communication with the specialty stores on site. Very busy on weekends so would go during the weekdays if possible. Centrally located on campus near the Bell Tower. Very robust online store as well.”

“This is the place to come for all things Carolina. If you're a Tar Heel fan or know someone who is, you should be able to find everything you need here. This place is called "UNC Student Stores" plural because there are multiple stores inside. They include a mini mart with food and drink ("The Pit Stop"), a pharmacy, and a post office. The stores are intended for students (e.g., books, laptops, school supplies), alumni and fans (e.g., UNC apparel, gifts), employees (e.g., hospital scrubs, lab equipment), anyone really. My wife and I stopped by to pick up some temporary UNC logo face tattoos for a game. I haven't been in many college bookstores. I remember Wake Forest's store being very small, but that was decades ago. The one I'm most familiar with is Georgia Tech's (my alma mater). The two bookstores are similar in size (both large, two stories), inventory, and amenities. For example, there's a cafe on the second floor here, where we saw several students studying. Tech's is similar with a Starbucks. Tech's bookstore is much newer, the current one built in the mid-2000s. From the outside, Carolina's bookstore looks many decades old (I'm guessing it was built in the 60s). North Carolina is one of the top-selling and best-known brands in college athletics, so it wasn't surprising for me to see the vast selection of apparel and merchandise here, from niche books to cool collectibles. They even stock UNC logo lululemon clothing. I can't imagine many universities offer logo'd lululemon apparel, but UNC does. It's certainly a cool store if you're a UNC supporter. UNC Student Stores is located on-campus, across the street from the landmark Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower. We parked for free in the adjacent N8 - Undergraduate Library surface lot on a Saturday. UNC employee permit parking (N8) is required to park in this lot during business hours: Monday-Friday, 7:30am-5:00pm. I believe it's free and open to the public otherwise, except for probably game days. The lot is small. It has about 40 parking spaces and the spots are narrow.”

“What a fantastic shop! Excellent work!!!! Brought in my laptop and it was fixed fast and at a great price. Friendly and knowledgeable. Wish my HVAC guy was this good.”

“Wonderful experience with Zack at geek squad today! He was able to look at problems with software and apps. My computers were not syncing data and he helped me figure out why. We solved it and I went ahead and bought a new iPad at Best Buy with their service agreement because the experience was so great. He listens well and is friendly and patient.”

“Nothing special about the merchandise in this store. It’s your standard run-of-the-mill Best Buy store. The difference in my experiences has been customer service. Most places these days, It’s hard to find people to acknowledge you, never mind actually help you. The gentleman that helped me my kids was courteous, and took his time to answer questions. He was never pushy or “salesy”. In fact the item we were looking for was not in stock at this store (rare item - not surprised), but he took the time to look for the item in other nearby stores and when he couldn’t find it, he texted me the link to order it online. Next level service!”

“Today was my first experience at an Apple Store since I live approximately 2 hours away from one in either direction, my goal was to get an iPhone 17 promax and that’s exactly what I accomplished today with the help of Mario! Mario is a super great guy and was an extreme help. He answered all of my questions and even made several good recommendations. I’ve never had a salesperson to be such a great help. He definitely knows customer service and I greatly appreciate him and the Southpoint location!”
