This was actually interesting to know. Not enough micro centers but plenty of staples.

[supking]

A microcenter version of staples would be crazy

[RegalPixelKing]

If staples effectively turned into an alternate Micro Center that would be fantastic! Micro Center is a great place, but there are only a couple dozen locations, in other words if you are not in a city with a Micro Center then you're basically SOL. Staples on the other hand has nearly 1000 locations.

We def need more staples like this. Best Buy is the only store nearby me, and it doesn't have anything.

[Shaquandra_GG]

crazy to think staples is transforming from office computers to a store that's an upgrade in progress against microcenter, being across the country in the near future

[omoogle]

My question is did you seriously build this PC in the middle of staples?!?!

[Burpingwaffles]

staples needs to push this idea, this would definitely get me into the store as I have so many staples near me. I can't always drive to microcenter especially when its so far away. great jobs staples

[mr.crynge]

I'm not from or in the US, but I think it was a good idea to include PC building parts. I hope this idea is successful and carries onto other countries aswell!

[Eboness]

i work at Staples, and i had no idea we had a store like this. would love to see this kind of stuff rolled out to more stores!

[johnpaulcross]

It’s worth noting the innovation center component makes it far more difficult to complete if not impossible to accomplish in a standard staples

[Gogoseit]

man I legit just felt a tear come to my eye as soon as you walked into that store. Ive been living with the rejects and the used parts I got for cheap my whole life. I LOVE building pc's. someday, I HAVE to buy all new parts and put together an actually NICE setup

[wizardwar]

Awesome video and thats honestly really cool that staples is now expanding into pc components

[nathantaylor]

I worked at staples for nearly a year, the management has no idea about technology, they start their computer techs at 9$/hr and obviously no one wants to work for that, and so the stores are horribly understaffed. It seemed to be company practice to threaten your job if you didn’t come in on your days off. It’s a failing company and they know it. The management also hounded us if we did not try to trick customers into spending 200+ extra on anti virus, setup and other things that they didn’t need. All around they had horrible practices that were trained and I will never go back.

This is amazing to see! I work at staples and I have personally worked in other staples stores to remodel and setup the laptop table mentioned above and the apple table that was seen for a few moments. Unfortunately they didn't have any internal pc components included like this store does. I do recall I managed to get a look at a few design concepts staples had in mind and it did include what everyone is seeing in this store with pc component availability and maybe more to come. For the future of this company, I really hope to see bigger changes like this happen to more stores in the future if they are able to "get their head out of their ass" and fix some other ideas they have rolled out like amazon returns and the selling culture they have prioritized rather than focus on providing what people would want and still be profitable! My store isn't in the biggest of cities or places but we still have people constantly come in to ask for PC components and other items. It would be a huge game changer if done right.

[Chuffies]

I never thought staples would sell seperate pc parts, this is great!

Day 8 of asking for a signed tube of thermal paste

[fxt]

I've actually bought a fair amount of tech from Staples over the years. Mostly monitors and flash drives, but they're always worth a look. If they actually had gaming hardware there for competitive pricing, I may consider spending a LOT more time in the store.

[alfonsor]

Very nice video, I didnt know you made full length videos! I'm excited to see more staples rolling this out!

[Railgun]

mryeester i bought your thermal paste a while ago, but never had the chance to say it. it works amazing, so thanks! love your videos, and keep up the great work!
