Sometimes it is better to cut your losses and run. If we think this is the case we will advise you as such and explain why.

For example

  1. If your laptop is 4 or 5 years old and the hard drive fails you can expect a cost of somewhere between $280 to $400.  Diagnostics $60, new hard drive $95+, install operating system and drivers $150+, backup and restore data $60.  You may be better off considering a new laptop with entry level prices starting around $700-$800 these days.
  2. If the motherboard or CPU faults in your old computer it can be a major cost to repair the unit.  Particularly if the technology in your computer has been superceded.  New motherboard, CPU and RAM plus labour to change over the parts and update drivers will cost in excess of $500.  In this case it may be more cost effective to consider purchasing a  whole new, more up-to-date system for around $800 + $60 to transfer data.
  3. Your old computer running a little slowly.  It could be just the fact that the mechanical hard drive is beginning to slow down.  Before your hard drive dies completely talk to us about getting your hard drive cloned to a new hard drive or a much faster SSD.  Cost of cloning drive – $110.  Cost of hard drive depends on the desired capacity with a 1TB hard drive or a 240GB SSD starting at around $90-$100.
