So I've been working at BestBuy for a month and I've learned some stuff about geeksquad. First, they just raised their prices :P Second, geeksquad was its own company before BestBuy aquiered them. Everyone jokes that geeksquad says they bought bestbuy, but thats besides the point. For the most part, no they aren't the brightest bulbs on the string. I work in computer sales and I've heard geeksquad "cadets" ask the sales ppl what to do when things like their personal videocards are overheating and things like that. As long they as they are just installing antivirus for granny's computer or hooking up a router ( which they charge $159 to do) then ur fine, but I wouldnt go to them for a major problem. Chances are good they will charge you the %70 to look at it and then tell u that you shoudl just buy a new one.
