tech exchange is truly a community lifeline for those who need access to technology to end the digital divide. they are honest and hard working and focused on providing the students of oakland and people to empower the community for greater tech accessibility. thank you for you vision and purpose of tech opportunity for oaklanders!!!!
On 7/22/23, it was my first visit to Tech Exchange. In partnership with Richmond Promise, I was their student, and I had issues with my laptop. You come inside, check in and then provide your device to them. Mine had a fan malfunction, so it was getting out of hand. They took it in less than 3 minutes. Yes, in less than 3 minutes, they gave me a replacement. Very fast service, Kemish and a female worker there were so friendly and will do anything for you! I’m proud to be a Richmond Promise student! Will come again!
EDIT: I come to realize that despite Tech Exchange’s hard work in giving back to the community and ensuring everyone from low-income, marginalized communities have access to reliable technology that helps them thrive. Of course, this is evident in their work, but something must be accommodated for students who graduated from a Bay Area high school and is pursing a technical degree outside of the Bay Area. I am originally from here, but if they can provide opportunities like the 4-week computer literacy classes remotely, it can really support students like myself in enhancing our portfolios for such fields. Aside from this, the Tech Exchange team and everyone a part of it are a blessing to everyone in the Bay Area, I would love to work with them someday!
Great store, with a great Mission!
Buy here and contribute with this great Nonprofit to help the community.
Good computers, good warranty.
Great, friendly staff.
Bought a laptop for my Son and he received a free ergonomic mouse and free cable lock.
Came in for the Latino Heritage Month Deal and I was greeted with friendly staff. I am one who doesn’t know much about computers but the staff explained and helped me pick one that will fit best for me! Great place!
I went in for the first on the 50% sale and the experience I received was amazing everyone was so nice and very explanatory about the devices. I bought a 2019 mac book pro for an extremely low price and the condition it’s in. It was definitely a steal.
This is an awesome place. Anyone should go here before spending @Best Buy, (or even the pawnshops!) Check it out!📣👍
Cheers;
I live right up the street from this organization. They're great for our community. Keep up the "easy" work y'all! From one resident to another, OTX is awesome for us because students are able to connect and it saves the planet as a whole.

See ya soon at the next event....!
My son dropped a beverage on our only laptop and I was so bummed! A neighbor told me about this organization and they were so nice over the phone. KAmish and Taki fixed it with such grace. They were so respectful. Im extremely grateful for their help! God bless this organization.
Cozy, unpretentious yoga studio for people of all ages and abilities. I've only gone to this location one time so far but the instructor was great. Lots of natural light and a nice waiting area with clean restrooms and water available. Highly recomme
Love to support small business inspired by family and culture and led by strong women! Highly recommend the latiya latte and champorado mocha (as well as their chicken empanada) ð we had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with co-owner Ari and l
