Common questions
Does a slow computer always need replacing?
Memory helps only where it is a relevant limitation and a compatible upgrade is possible. Diagnosis is needed before selecting parts.
Will adding memory make my computer faster?
An older computer may still suit your tasks after useful repairs or upgrades. We discuss the findings and compare the expected benefit with replacement where relevant.
Can you check a slow Mac as well as a Windows PC?
We assess slow MacBooks and desktop Macs alongside Windows PCs. Suitable work depends on the software, hardware and condition of the particular model.
How do I explain an intermittent performance problem?
We discuss important information before changing the setup. Personal files are considered separately from unwanted programs or temporary data that may be suitable for cleanup.
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.
