Clone Irl

I came in with the expectation that my Mac hard drive was beyond salvageable, however, Clone Irl was able to fix it in just 24 hours. Truly excellent store with fantastic service, quick turnarounds, and very reasonable pricing. Best tech shop in Dublin by my estimates. Safe to say that this will be my first stop whenever I am in need of computer repair!

Chusse is amazing! I cannot recommend him enough. I have a bad relationship with technology, and he has saved the day after all of my determination to lose data through tea spills, crashes, you name it! I recently made the mistake of backing up my laptop to my hard drive, which resulted in the backup deleting all my photos from the past 7 years! Chusse just called me to tell me he has retrieved all of it. Life saver! :)

This is the first time I ever dare to bring my mac to a place not officially affiliated with Apple. The staff was friendly and effective, I am very satisfied with how everything turned out, including the price. Having a small child who enjoys «playing» with my laptop, I’ll definitely be back!

Got my laptop repaired here after my girlfirend dropped it and it wouldn’t restart. I got a new 320TB hard drive and installation with a OS re-​install also. Laptop runs fine since. The price was comparable to other prices I investigated around town.
In terms of service, this place is v good. The guy who deals with the customers is friendly with good communication skills. I have even popped in to ask his advice on other tech problems I have had at home and he has been very forthcoming with information and time despite the fact that he is not getting any money from me on this occasion.
I would happily good back to this place.

Great place to get your computer repaired. They are very professional and extremely reasonable. I would recommend this place if you want good service and straightforward no nonsense advice.

Clone IRL saved my life!!! I was only in Dublin for the weekend and wasn’t expecting to get my computer fixed during some a small period of time, but I came here and they were able to fix it overnight when another place told me it would take four — and for half the price! The man even let me pick up my computer an hour after the store closed. Great service, great prices, great spot!!!

My screen problem came back with a vengeance. For the second time. Yes, after Clone’s first fix it came back. He re-​fixed it for free, assuring me that he’d hot-​glued the connections on both ends and it really should be fine now. Then, three weeks later, the same thing again.
Down in West Africa, Clone’s first diagnosis turned out to be correct; I needed a new screen. Thankfully they wanted less than a third of Clone’s asking price for the replacement. That’s not Clone’s problem — that’s simply price differences for parts between Europe and Africa. However, they didn’t try for a quick-​fix of the loose connections first. And wouldn’t Clone’s hot glue melt when the computer gets warm?
I think the speakers actually do have a problem, not the quality of the music. Finally, the rubber pads that keep the screen from smashing onto the keyboard, two of those have fallen off due to the glue-​stick that was used to put them back on, rather than superglue.
I’ve given this guy enough chances and if I were still in Ireland I’d take my computer somewhere else. Sorry, friend; you were friendly and funny, but at the end of the day I need someone whose fixes I trust for the long term.

I took my computer there when it had a virus and had to have the whole system restarted. I have had this happen before, and at other places the employees have sighed or seemed annoyed because it is a mundane task, but at Clone Irl he was really nice, joking around, and told me that he could normally do it in a day but since it was busy it would probably be two. I have had this take a week before so I was very relieved.
Prices are similar to other places around.
When I got my computer back it had an Irish cord on it, when I said it was not mine (I have an American laptop with an adapter) he got my cord and told me to keep the Irish one!
Overall, really friendly place and they get the job done fast! I will go back for any other computer problem that I have!

This place opened up last year but I only noticed it a couple of days ago. I know business is going to catch on. The two guys who work here gave me a warm hello and joked around with me as I was the only one in the shop despite it being 5 in the afternoon.
Instead of charging me those poncy prices, the guys let me print something off of the master computer and charged me peanuts for it. You got love the places where they aren’t out to get you.
I suggest you go as well. Clone Irl offers several different services. You can pop in and use the Internet or you can bring in your computer to be repaired. It also does virus removals and console repairs. They’ll fix your broken PSP or Xbox. All prices are listed on their website.
After they repair your electronics, they’ll take the broken pieces and use them to decorate the shop. I’m only joking. I’m sure that the keyboards and tech thingies hung on the wall were not their former clients!
