Old computer feeling slow? Often the problem isnt the whole machine — its one component. We can usually breathe years of life back into a system for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.
Common Upgrades
- SSD installation — biggest single performance upgrade for most older computers. Boots in seconds, opens apps instantly.
- RAM upgrades — more memory means more browser tabs, smoother multitasking, no slowdowns
- Graphics card — gaming, video editing, multi-monitor setups
- Power supply — failing PSUs cause random crashes; replacement extends system life
- Cooling — fans, thermal paste refresh, full cleaning
- WiFi cards — upgrade old slow wireless to WiFi 6/7
Upgrade Consultation
Bring your computer in and well tell you whats actually worth upgrading and whats not. Sometimes an $80 SSD makes a five-year-old laptop feel new. Sometimes its time to replace. Either way, well give you a straight answer.
For consultations that require diagnostic work (testing components, isolating bottlenecks, identifying failures), a $45 minimum diagnostic fee applies and goes toward the upgrade or repair if you proceed. Quick “is this worth doing?” questions over the counter are free.
