Computer Service

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Did you know that your computer is only as good as the service and reliability it has behind it. I sell computers at prices that will fit any budget. It is always best to purchase the newest and most up to date computer you can afford.  I personally help my customers reach their computing goals: either by upgrading their current machine or by helping them into a newer more reliable computing experience.

When buying a system you should ask yourself 2  important questions:

1) Is my current computer wasting my time, by being slow and unreliable, and how much is my time worth?

2) How much per day, week , month and year will I be spending on a new  computer system if I plan to keep it in service at least 3 or 4 years?

For example: If I spend $400 on a new computer and it lasts for 4 years– my cost is only $100/yr.,  just $8.33/mo. and as little as$0.27 cents a day.

The next question is: isn’t  27 cents a day worth owning a reliable computer?

Well I think we all get the picture.

I also offer  used “step up computers” starting as low as $150 which qualify for trade in privilages within 6 months of original purchase if you are wanting to go to a better system with more power and features.  All of my computers come with a minimum of windows XP or higher.  I don’t believe in selling anything with a ”stone age version of windows” on it.
