Should You Repair Your Computer or Buy a New One?

About Me

Hi. My name is Jeff Lang, and I want to thank you for stopping by my website. In my years of owning computers, I’ve faced the decision of whether to repair or junk them more than a few times. I know I’m not alone in this and want to share some things I’ve found to be helpful in making a decision. I’m pretty handy when it comes to changing out hardware on my PC. I’m well versed with software too, but not as proficient as I am with hardware. As you may guess, I’m able to do a good amount of repairs myself. However, there are times when I need a professional to step in and work on my computers. Computer technology develops and changes quickly. Sometimes it no longer makes sense to repair a PC. I hope that you will find my tips to be helpful.
