Apple Mac Service
MacBook Air and Pro battery and screen replacement, iMac storage upgrades, and Macs that won't boot. Diagnosed on my bench, never mailed out.
Students and remote workers. East Brunswick has a big student and work-from-home population, so laptops are critical, not optional. A slow machine or a cracked screen is a work stoppage. Standard repairs take 48 to 72 hours, and rush service ($100) moves yours to the front of the line. Small business IT: we support Middlesex County businesses that need reliable help without a long contract, with honest billing and clear communication.
Liquid spill? Don't wait. Humid summers bring a lot of spill repairs from June through August. If you've had a spill, power the machine off immediately and don't try to turn it back on. The faster it gets to us, the better the odds.

I engaged "Dave's Computer" to build a new custom build Windows 11 computer as replacement for the Windows 10 machine.
I presented my thoughts and needs to Dave about the new unit and he asked some basic questions as to my needs and want for the new unit. We touched on cost for the unit and I left...
I dropped off my laptop, and Dave gave me a clear overview of the problem (he had experienced similar issues on 3 others of the same model) and the cost. Communication was clear and helpful. Once he started the repairs, he kept me updated. I would absolutely use Dave again!!
I have been going to Dave's Computers for years because he always fixes my problems. I also use his anti-virus and it is as good as any, if not better, than others that I would have to pay much more for. If you're having problems, go to Dave's. He doesn't break the bank and he solves the problems.
Over the last decade or so, whenever I had a computer problem, I went to Dave. I recently had a very worrisome crash; the system failed to boot up. (I hadn't needed to use him for about 3 years.) I paid the "rush fee" on Saturday when dropping the machine off with the weekend agent. By Monday...
"As a Broker of over 40 years in New Jersey I rely on my computer help", which is the artery to my success and business. Thank goodness Dave's is here for me with the messes I get into with scammers, land grabbers and just uneccesary things that I pick up. The most effective virus program have ever...
I had previously tried to build my own PC to no success. Even though right now it is really tough to get a PC built due to the price increases with RAM’s, GPU’s and other parts because of AI, I still really wanted to get one for myself. I came across Dave’s Computers online and went in for a...
What East Brunswick residents ask before they make the drive.
Do you have a location in East Brunswick, NJ?
No. We have one location at 75 N Bridge St, Somerville NJ 08876. East Brunswick customers drop off there, about 30 minutes via Route 18 North and I-287.
Do you offer in-home computer repair in East Brunswick?
Not for homes. Residential repairs are drop-off only at our Somerville shop, because spare parts and overnight testing catch problems a house call misses. If carrying the computer is the hard part, call from our lot and we'll bring it in. More on in-home computer repair in NJ.
For East Brunswick businesses, yes, for projects like network setup, server installs and workstation rollouts.
How much will my repair cost?
It starts with a diagnostic: $75 for standard-brand computers or $149 for custom and boutique PCs, and it's credited when you approve the work. After that you get a flat quote, not an hourly bill. Data recovery starts at $199.
My laptop won't turn on. What will it cost?
We run the $75 diagnostic first; a laptop that won't power on can be anything from a dead battery to a failed motherboard, and we won't guess. The $75 is credited toward the repair, and if it's not worth fixing we'll tell you.
Do you repair all brands: Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple?
Yes. Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, MSI and Apple MacBooks and iMacs, plus custom-built PCs. We also do custom PC builds and small business IT support.
What's your turnaround time?
Most repairs are done in 48 to 72 hours, and you'll get a text as soon as it's ready. Rush service costs $100 extra and puts it first in line.
Which brands do you work on?
Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, MSI and custom-built PCs, plus MacBook, iMac and Mac mini. I don't service Surface devices or Chromebooks.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in during business hours: Mon–Fri 10–5, Sat 9–2. You'll check in on our kiosk, which explains how the service works before you sign.
Will my computer leave your shop?
No. It stays in our Somerville shop from drop-off to pickup. Nothing is shipped to a depot or a contractor.
