Huge U will get lost! But U will find what u need as long as u'll do without a shop assistant, very few assistants for each floor so u need to take a number and wait for ur turn LOL
Higher prices than Amazon, they accept VVV Cadeaubon.
Don't let the small entrance fool you… Saturn is a very large North American type electronics store (think Best Buy) that’s 3 floors, with computers, adapters, TV’s, mobile’s and anything you need for home electronics. Definitely a “man cave” type of store and very unusual for Amsterdam. Not a lot of other stores this big in the downtown. If you're homesick, just visit here and you'll feel like you're back at the local mall. Saturn is the best place to get all your computer, phone, recording and video gear. It’s located right next to the main train station (Central Station) in the centre of Amsterdam and next to the main library. The sales people are very technical and help answer your questions about connections, adapters and any cord related mystifying stuff that drives people crazy. Also they are familiar with North American electronic gadgets and can advise on temporary (while visiting) substitutes to get you connected voice and data affordably, so instead of the dreadful roaming charges - you can get temporary phones and such – just ask them. You always pay at the front where the checkout is… for big ticket items and if you're not a resident or EU national – they may ask for a copy of your passport when using a credit card like VISA or Amex. Enjoy.
This is a relatively large electronics, photo/video, audio/tv, and appliances store (large for what you tend to find in the city center of Amsterdam). They have a large mobile phone department, and a computer department that also is a Apple Premium Retailer. The staff is trained and they do know what they are selling, but they will also tell you nonsense because they just don't know any better, with some positive exceptions. They have demo's and a cook on Sunday's. Pricing is reasonable. Part of the Saturn–Mediamarkt group. Mediamarkt in Buikslotermeerplein and Zuidoost are often cheaper. They are open 7 days a week Mon-Fri till 9pm, Sat-Sun till 8pm.
Enormous variety of electronic goods with great specials. You'll find whatever you're looking for here.
