Common questions
Should I choose a laptop or a desktop?
We discuss whether the device needs to travel, the work you do and the screens or accessories you use. The format should follow those needs.
Can you help compare a Windows PC and a Mac?
Yes. We can compare the practical differences for your applications, information and connected equipment rather than assume one platform suits everyone.
What if my current computer could be repaired?
We can assess that option and explain any useful upgrade or repair. Normal service fees apply to diagnosis even if you ultimately choose replacement.
Can you set up the replacement after I buy it?
After purchase, we can arrange new-device setup and help with accounts, software, connections and transferring files from the previous device.
How do I find out about pricing?
Our minimum labour time is one hour per job, and many jobs only need that hour. If more time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. We do not charge call-out fees or travel costs. For onsite work, the time starts when your technician arrives. Parts cost extra if needed. The total depends on the fault and the work required, so we can give a more accurate estimate after diagnosis. Call us on (02) 4622 1232 to discuss pricing, or use our repair estimate form to send the details.
How long should I allow for the job?
Many jobs take around an hour, which is our minimum labour time per job. If extra time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. After diagnosing the issue, your technician can give a more accurate time estimate and explain the options, taking the work needed and your budget into account. Some repairs need parts or work offsite, which can affect the time before the computer is ready.
