Rent-A-Geek, how it
works.
I offer a free service that guides you through the Windows computer buying steps safely. When you are ready, please contact me to get the process going. I start by reviewing my notes and any comments that we discussed on my last visit, in reference to what type of computer you want next. There are 3 styles of Computers:
Laptop - The Cons and Pros of each: Laptop - Biggest Pro: Portable: can use plugged into power or without on battery. Biggest Con: Battery fails after two years in some cases, may need to be replaced ($150 additional cost). Desktop - Pro: can take off cover to add or remove parts. Con: Too many wires running from monitor to back of tower. All in One - Pro: compact design, no wires, webcam, speakers, etc. built in. 24" screen. Con: I cannot think of any, which is why I am recommending this type of computer. How it works: Most stores start the new sales on Sundays, so on Mondays I email my recommendations. The email contains suggestions like this (note that this offer has expired): $500 (sale, was $750) HP 23.8" All-in-One Desktop PC, AMD Ryzen 5, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD
When you click on the link, your Internet browser will open to the store that sells that computer. There you can see details and a photo of the computer. As you scroll down there are also reviews from people who also purchased this computer. Then you purchase the computer that you like out of my suggestions. You can either buy it online and ship it to your home or go to the local store and pick it up. If you go to the store, just buy the computer. The salesperson may try to talk you into buying additional things that you do not need. If they offer to setup the computer for you, turn them down, that is my job. A store in Leesburg, FL tricked two of my clients into purchasing a "Bundle Package" that sold them programs that I did not recommend. Then the store technician took the computer out of the box and spent 2+ hours "trying" to set it up. They screwed up the computer because they were asking for email addresses and passwords that the clients did not have with them. I am Boycotting that store for taking advantage of Seniors! When the Computer arrives, you leave it in the box. When I arrive, I start on your old computer, backing up your files and photos onto flash drives or external hard drives. Then I confirm your wifi password and your Microsoft Account that is required to setup the new computer. The final step is to sync your browsers so your Favorites/Bookmarks can be moved to your new computer. Then I'll take the new computer out of the box, and ask you to turn it on. Then the fun begins. If you would like to use this free Rent-a-Geek Service, please contact me when you are ready. |
