About Micro Center Cambridge, MA
Since 1995, Micro Center Cambridge has proudly delivered an unbeatable selection of technology and components to the greater Boston area. Located at 730 Memorial Drive, our store was one of the first in the region to offer hands-on access to thousands of in-stock products—and nearly 30 years later, that legacy continues.
With over 25,000 items available, we stock everything from laptops, desktops, and Apple products to high-end GPUs, processors, water cooling kits, and accessories for DIY PC builders. We also offer a robust selection of tools, maker gear, and microcontroller kits—including one of the largest in-store collections of Arduino and Raspberry Pi components in the area.
