Why should I buy from PC Laptops instead of somewhere else?

There are basically 4 places you’re going to buy a computer.

  1. Huge Internet Company – The challenge here is that if you have a problem you’re usually calling a 1-800 number in “chumbawumba”. You end up with a cheap pre-built box of low quality junk. Then when you call for service you’ll be placed on hold for some unbearable amount of time. Finally, when the “customer service representative in “chumbawumba” answers you’re told that your “on-site” warranty is the shipping guy sending out a box and then waiting 4-6 weeks for them to tell you that your “spy ware” problem is not covered under warranty. Then you end up paying a huge bill and to top it off you get your computer back with all your precious data erased! HOLY MACKERAL!
  2. Local super electronics store or discount warehouse – After you dump your new computer into your shopping cart with your toilet paper you realize that you have to call the 1-800 number in “chumbawumba” again and go through the same agony as ordering from that huge internet company.
  3. Local small computer store – The challenge here is that most of the small local computer stores don’t have the support staff to take care of you. Sometimes they make claims of super cheap prices and service warranties but don’t have the staffing or finances to back it up. They sometimes will sell you “gray market” or “refurbished” computers as new. The sad news is most of these stores go out of business in the first few years. If you pick up your local yellow pages a few years back you’ll notice that most of the local computer stores are now gone and a whole bunch of new ones have popped up soon to be gone also.
  4. PC Laptops – PC Laptops has been in business over 15 years. PC Laptops Authentic Lifetime Service Guarantee is backed by our team of over 90 certified computer nerds at your beck and call. PC Laptops has won the prestigious INC 500 awards, Utah Best of State, Intel Premier Provider, Microsoft Gold Reseller awards and so many more year after year!

Dan the Laptop Man's Bio

Dan the Laptop Man's Bio Dan (“The Laptop Man”) Young, 38, is the founder and president of South Jordan, Utah-based PC Laptops, LLC.

Now with nine storefronts (seven in Utah and two in the Las Vegas area), PC Laptops currently sells and services The Best Desktop and Laptop computers On The Planet! PC Laptops also services all brands of desktop and laptop computers. PC Laptops now services in and out of warranty Mac computers at their Sandy, Utah location also!

Born in 1971 and raised in Southern California, Young is a first-generation American. His parents immigrated from China to the United States in the late 1930s to escape repression and the early throes of World War II. At age six, Young began attending a computer-training camp for under-privileged children that was established by a benefactor (a person he only remembers as “Charles”). Dan was trained on the Apple II+ computer, initially learning AppleSoft Basic before moving on to learn the Pascal computer language when he was nine-years-old. He also played video games, wrote video games and did a lot of hacking before finally quitting computers to focus on socializing.

Dan’s first entrepreneurial efforts selling T-shirts, sunglasses and novelty items from a stand in Venice Beach yielded modest success, but he was caught up with the wrong crowd, a time in his life that eventually saw him move to Utah in 1988.

Once in Utah, he completed high school, worked several jobs, studied information systems while attending Salt Lake Community College and went on to the University of Utah where he focused on Family Consumer Studies — a program that taught him how to “protect and value the consumer.”

After the electronics retailer he was working for went out of business, Young asked his former manager if he could have the customer database. His request was granted, and he sent former customers a letter offering to honor their extended service warranties and only charge them for parts. The first year he lost $20,000, but the following year Young’s business acumen earned him several hundred thousand dollars in sales.

In 1992, he formed Elite Systems and sold electronics and computers out of his home and truck. Elite Systems opened its first storefront in Salt Lake City in 1994, selling desktop and portable computer systems.

Young appears in zany TV and radio commercials portraying pop culture icons and engaging and other random forms of craziness.

On March 6th, 2006 PC Laptops, LLC adopted all the customers and hired more than 25 employees of the now defunct Totally Awesome Computers and released its new desktop computer lineup to further support loyal clients. Young has now driven his company to three listings in the Utah100 consecutive listings among the fastest growing companies in America in Inc. Magazine as well as the honor of multiple listings in the Best of State awards program (2005, 2008 and 2009). In 2008, Young was appointed to the Intel Channel Partner Program Premier Board of Advisors and in 2009 was selected for Microsoft’s Partner Advisory Council. Additionally, Young was honored by Salt Lake Community College as a 2009 Distinguished Alumnus for his entrepreneurial spirit and the example he has set of perseverance and success.

PC Laptops was named the No.1 computer store in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area in 2009, according to a Citadel Broadcasting research study.

On Nov 6th, 2009 PC Laptops received the Best Facebook Page Award from the Social Media Club of Salt Lake City!

Although he still considers himself a “video game junkie,” when he’s not visiting one of his stores, working out or eating sushi Young is now just as likely to be rubbing shoulders with elected officials and luminaries, as he is to be found chatting with his friends on Facebook.
