Stay away from their installation bay. They refused to install my starter I bought from them because they had to take out the old one and had to fix few poorly attached wires.
Best Buy in Cristal Lake did it no problem and under one hour.

Very negative experience recently. Bought a computer on a Friday. Loaded the software next day. However, it had a Microsoft configuration error and prevented me from loading any software not in the Microsoft store. Brought it in to the Geek Squad guys, who looked at it and told me to install the Windows updates. So, went back home and installed them. Still didn’t work. Brought it back and the Geek Squad guys tried in earnest to solve problem, but they told me it wasn’t likely to ever work. Refunded money for PC.
Would have gone and purchased an even more expensive PC, but learned that the copy of Office I bought Friday would no longer work, even though I never used it. Would need to buy another copy. This would be clearly unacceptable to everybody.
So, fundamentally, I was sold a defective PC, had loaded software onto it for a day, then told it was my problem. You lost a customer for life, because you didn’t want to make me whole after selling me a defective product.

First time shopping at Best Buy and since I’m starting school in the spring I wanted a really good laptop and didn’t want to go to target or Walmart. I went in to buy the Lenovo - Yoga 7i 2-in-1 16" 2K Touchscreen Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 7 155U with 16GB Memory - 1TB SSD - Storm Grey and was unable to get any assistance. I stood back there for a good 30 min waiting for assistance after asking 2 different associates back there for help. Even after everyone was gone, not once did anyone come up to me and ask if I needed any help lol what a joke. Now granted I’m wearing joggers and crocs and wasn’t looking my best and I can only hope they weren’t judging by the way I was looking to determine if I would be spending money or not especially at this day and age. Will not be spending any money here. Will go to Apple instead ✌🏽
