Call 1300 376 225Compare the whole setup, not just the specifications
Useful advice starts with your needs rather than a list of impressive specifications. We can discuss portability, screen size, storage, connected devices and the work of moving information afterwards. A suitable repair or upgrade of the existing device can also be considered before buying.
- Discuss everyday tasks and essential applications.
- Compare a shortlist of suitable devices.
- Consider portability, screen size and storage needs.
- Review equipment you hope to keep using.
- Compare repair or upgrade with replacement.
- Plan setup, file transfers and backups.
Getting ready for the appointment
- List the tasks and programs that matter to you.
- Bring links or model details for devices you are considering.
- Tell us which printer and accessories you want to retain.
- Think about the total budget including setup and any extra equipment.
Common questions
Should I choose a laptop or a desktop?
We compare how you use the device, whether it needs to travel and the screens or accessories required. Either format can be appropriate depending on those needs.
Can you help compare a Windows PC and a Mac?
We can discuss both platforms in relation to your software, existing files and connected devices. The aim is a choice that suits your everyday use.
What if my current computer could be repaired?
A repair or upgrade may be worth assessing first. We explain the available options and normal service fees so you can compare the next steps.
Can you set up the replacement after I buy it?
We can arrange setup help after purchase, including accounts, suitable software, printers and moving files from the old device or backup.
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 1300 376 225 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.
