What we can help with
Practical repairs.
Local support.
A computer that feels slow may benefit from an SSD or memory upgrade, but not every model can be upgraded and not every slow device needs new hardware. We check compatibility, available capacity and the wider condition of the computer before you spend on parts.
Parts & warranty
We only recommend compatible parts for the exact model. The price, capacity and expected benefit are explained before parts are ordered or installed. Eligible supplied parts and workmanship carry a 12-month warranty.
Sunshine Coast service
Upgrade assessments are available at Shop 11/102 Wises Rd, Maroochydore QLD 4558. Bring the device and charger, and tell us what you use it for so we can discuss the right capacity and performance option.

Helpful answers
Before you book,
know what to expect.
Can an SSD make my laptop faster?+
For compatible laptops, replacing an older drive with an SSD can improve startup and loading behaviour. We first check the model and the condition of the existing device so the recommendation is practical.
Can you upgrade laptop memory?+
Some models allow memory upgrades and others have fixed memory. We check the exact model before recommending compatible parts.
Should I upgrade or replace my computer?+
That depends on the device condition, compatibility, required performance and the confirmed cost. We explain the realistic options after assessment rather than assuming an upgrade is always worthwhile.
Do you move files during a storage upgrade?+
Tell us about your important files and current storage condition before work begins. The appropriate approach depends on the device and the condition of its existing drive.
