Mandeville Laptop Repair | A Waist of Money?

I can personally tell you, as a computer tech in Mandeville laptop repair is alive and well. My customers are always torn between investing in a quick fix or just buying a new one. I can only imagine the amount of laptops thrown away, just in this city alone. It doesn’t mean your a bad person if you toss it. It just means you’re ready for something fresh and new. It may have lost it’s momentum. I can respect that. Laptops are just like desktop PCs except they are mobile and compact. Because of this, they tend to obtain more problems. Laptops are typically, naturally carried around, connected to multiple wifi hot-spots and are more susceptible to outside elements like changing temperature and wet conditions. But with that aside, take a moment to remember when you bought it in the first place. Was is nimble and quick? Did it have new features that you couldn’t live without? Maybe it still does. Laptops have the capability of upgrading as well as updating. This may save you a lot of money if you are looking to fix the issues you are experiencing from your laptop, once and for all. Buying a new laptop is not always the best solution. Future Speed PC has the experience and know-how to get the life back into your laptop.

Mandeville Laptop Repair | Updating

Updating your laptop is easy. The first thing you should do is simply perform a Windows Update if you have a PC by opening your control panel or check your update settings here. If you have a Mac, you can find the updates tab in the App Store. Updating typically finds the latest drivers for your laptop’s hardware, then installs them automatically. You would be surprised to see the difference just from a simple update in a lot of cases. We have come across customers that have never had updates installed on their laptops. Usually they are set up to auto-install by default, but there are times where these updates can be turned off without your knowledge of doing so. This is a simple, but possibly, a quick & free solution. Another way to make sure you have the latest software and updates installed is by visiting the support page of your laptop’s manufacturer website. Usually you need the model or serial number (Usually located on a white label on the bottom of your laptop) or the support page will have an auto scan option. This will insure that all hardware software and drivers are up-to-date. This option can be confusing. If you have never done this before or you’re not having luck doing it yourself, contact us. We want to be your Mandeville laptop repair service of choice.
