About The
Laptop Guy
The Laptop Guy
founder Todd Feit began selling used laptops computers in January 2000 from a
rented counter within a Beanie Baby store on Riverside Drive in Columbus,
Ohio. After being referred to as “The
Laptop Guy” on a regular basis by his customers, he officially incorporated the
company and registered the name in March of 2000. In October 2001, The Laptop Guy store moved to its’ current
location in Grandview at 1440 West Fifth Avenue and expanded its’ retail
offerings to include not only used laptop computers, but also new laptops,
laptop accessories, and laptop repair.
After
obtaining the federal trademark for “The Laptop Guy” in January 2004, the
company began to offer nationwide laptop repair services through its website www.LaptopGuy.com. A second retail location in Westerville at
587 South State Street opened in January 2005.
Plans for a nationwide rental division and laptop protection plan are
currently in development with scheduled launch dates later this year.
