Computer Repairs? I Recommend Bob

In the past few years, the price of computers had dropped drastically, but in many cases, it has set up a situation of getting what you pay for.

Many of the lower priced computers and laptops seem great at the start, but end up breaking down after a short period of time, which means that the computer repair business is as in healthy a state as it has ever been. It’s not just the new, low-priced PC’s that require a little help, and many folks who would rather have more memory or speed, but don’t want to pay a higher price, have opted to go with used computers and refurbished computers.

Used computers in particular have seen a major rise in popularity, due in large part to the fact that many schools are now requiring that students do a certain percentage of their homework on a PC. The financial strain of buying a new laptop for their kids has made parents have to look for other options in order to get their kids online.

Refurbished computers are also an excellent way to get a great computer at a lower price. This tends to be the more popular option of the two, simply because many refurbished computers are almost as good as new. Any time a computer has been used as a floor model, or purchased and returned, it can no longer be sold as new, and therefore it has to be given the label of a refurbished computer.

Deciding to shop for used computers will definitely save you a bunch of money, but you can also save on computer repairs by being pro-active when you first buy. Most computer repair places also provide other services such as PC tune-ups, memory upgrades and a host of other items that can have used computers running like new with just a little bit of TLC. You have to do your part as well though, and as soon as you get you PC home, you have to take steps to make sure that your information, as well as the computer stays uncompromised.

Many of the computer repair issues that pop up have more to do with virus and malware issues than they do with actual hardware problems. A good chunk of the repair shop business involves cleaning up messy viruses that have made the computer virtually unusable. Even the most modern, high-tech computer can be rendered useless if it’s not protected from outside attacks, so making sure to install antivirus software will save you a lot of stress and money down the line.

The best way to treat your PC is to think of it in terms of a car, and that means taking it into the shop for regular tune-ups. Having a computer professional check out your PC every 6 months or so, will help them identify potential problems, and keep your PC running smooth. Taking the time to have your computer properly maintained will be far less expensive that having to buy a new one every year.

I have found a company who specializes in theses kinds of repairs and are not only very reasonable but do home pick up and delivery of computers for local Pinellas & Hillsborough County residents.  They are Bob's Computer Services.
