The Apple Core (Mac • PC • Computer Repair • Sales • Lessons) - Sarasota, Florida

I recently stumbled upon a hidden gem in Sarasota that has completely transformed my view on tech repair stores. If you're in need of parts for older Macs, look no further! Forget about the Apple Store; this place is a treasure trove for anyone with vintage Apple products. I was on the hunt for a charger for my 2009 MacBook, and I honestly figured I’d have to rely on a knock-off from Amazon. To my surprise, they had the genuine Apple charger right in stock!

The owners are incredibly kind and approachable, making you feel welcome the moment you walk in. It’s clear they’re not just in it for the business; they genuinely care about helping customers. They took the time to understand my needs and shared their extensive knowledge about computers, making the experience not just a transaction but an educational journey. Their passion for technology and commitment to customer service is evident throughout.

If you’re in need of tech parts or repairs, do yourself a favor and check this place out. It’s refreshing to find a local shop that offers such quality service and hard-to-find items. You won’t regret it!

This business is amazing! I have dealt with computer repair people for many, many years and this is by FAR the most knowledgeable, quick , honest, nice guy ever!!! He is extremely reasonable price wise and I feel he has a strong sense of integrity that other businesses lack . I recently bought a wonderful lap top and he walked me through multiple issues that I had with windows 11. You will never get that kind of service from a big box computer place. What a gem of a place!!!

2012 MacBook - Nick brought it back to life, literally. The professional, know how, expertise, honesty and passion is remarkable. Not only was my ancient tech repaired and restored to “brand new”, I left feeling empowered and so happy because he takes the time to explain everything regarding your computer and the goals to accomplish in repair. Thank you Apple Core!!!!

The Apple Core is truly a gem! Customer service is outstanding! I had my iPhone miraculously restored and also purchased a complete computer package that perfectly suits my needs. Nick is very knowledgeable and honest! So happy to have found the Apple Core for all my future computer needs!

I don't normally write reviews but I wanted to go out of my way to write this one. I brought in two broken laptops - an Apple with a broken monitor and a PC with speakers completely blown. I was afraid the Apple at least would have to be replaced entirely - as it would normally have to be - but this guy is an absolute miracle worker. He does things other computer repair places simply don't. He was able to fix up both computers good as new, preventing us from shelling out potentially thousands of dollars. He even did some extra custom work in order to make sure that the new, better speaker hardware would fit properly. This guy knows his stuff and we won't be taking our business anywhere else.

Sarasota is lucky to have The Apple Core. I’ve never been to a store where you can get same day help and the owner will come to your house or business to help setup or upgrade your business or home technology. He made our home smart. We had Nick setup new Apple Watches, iPad and fixed our MacBook Pro as well. I don’t leave reviews but this needs to be shared. Thank you!

Nick at the Apple Core were great. I do not live in Florida anymore
( back to beautiful New England) and it's been hard to fine anyone that compares to Nick and his staff for apple related problems
