For Canada, unfortunately no. Unless Microcenter is available up there, that's my go-to these days. You could maybe try them out online, I dunno if they'd ship to you.

I'll check it out, thanks ๐Ÿ‘

Try Canada Computers or Best Buy.

[-] Lyre@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Thanks, i hadn't heard of Canada computers.

Interesting, is best buy generally considered a good place to buy from? I guess I just kind assumed big chain = overpriced and unreliable.

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

BestBuy is generally overpriced. Sometimes good deals on peripherals and their returns policy is generous.

Odd that you have never heard of Canada Computers. If you are in Quebec, they are called Ordinateurs Canada.

Depending on where you live, you might have a Memory Express nearby.

Well tbh i probably have heard of them before at some point but when you search up "where to buy a new pc canada" it's tough to tell whats legit or not.

My last pc was made by a local place that went out of business and I never really upgraded it or anything after that.

Microcenter has two locations in the entire western half of the country. There are tens of millions of people in the US who live more than 1,000 miles from the nearest Microcenter. Every time I've gone to their stupid website they've said they can't ship any of the things I want. Microcenter isn't a real thing.
