Reasons Why You Should Buy Used Mac Computer

by Alary Techon 26 April 2017in blog No comment

It’s come to that point where you need to move from your old computer toward something new. Of course, the question of finance is sure to pop into your mind. Do you have enough for a new machine? Or is better to get something used in the meantime to save up for the next model?

 

Here’s when we think it’s better to go used.

You’re Waiting for the Next Big Thing

A used computer can be a great in-between solution if you need something now, but want to wait to make a big investment until the next exciting round of upgrades. Apple updates most of its products yearly, however, waiting that extra year or two can be the difference between getting a state-of-the art or last-year’s technologies.

 

For example, if you want to wait for more powerful Macs with touch bars, you could be better to get a high-performance used Mac for now and spend those extra dollars when the new Pros roll around.

 

You Don’t Need Anything Fancy

Sometimes the next big thing isn’t interesting at all to you. Instead, you just need something functional that isn’t going to cost you the same as several mortgage payments. Used Macs or iPads, especially from reputable and premium Apple service providers like us, can be nearly guaranteed to be good computers that will last a long time.

 

The only difference? You pay a portion of the price for a perfectly fine machine capable of running all the latest programs and operating systems.

 

You’re Looking for A Little Extra

Sometimes, when you get a new piece of equipment, all you need is a little add-on to make it really shine. For example, a used display can be the perfect accessory to a new laptop, giving you the extra screen space you need to gaming, video editing or improved work flow.

 

The extra money you’d spend on a brand-new monitor wouldn’t actually give you THAT much of a better experience.Saving money means you can dish out more for that cool mouse, trackpad or other accessory.

 

When Quality is Assured

If you haven’t heard, we were recently named a Premium Service Provider from Apple. This status only comes to those who provide exceptional quality of products and services to their customers. We know how to repair Macs and we wouldn’t sell something we didn’t think you could use.

 

The new computer feel comes with any new computer. Even if that new computer has been used by someone else. You’ll find it can be very worth the money and a better investment to get a few extra years out of an upgraded old machine. If you have questions feel free to reach out, and check out our selection of used Apple products to see if one of our used and improved products are a good fit for you!

A few weeks ago, we received a message of recognition from Apple. We’re proud to say we’ve been named a Premium Service Provider thank to our commitment to customer service and technical expertise.

In order to become a Premium Service Provider, you must first become an Authorized Apple Service Provider. If you are getting any Apple products serviced, it is always best to go through an Authorized Dealer for the following reasons:

 

  • Coverage under Apple Care Warranties
  • Only authorized details can obtain parts directly from Apple
  • Apple audits everyone to ensure businesses are operating legitimately
  • Apple provides specialized training to technicians for best possible service

 

So What Does it Mean to be a Premium Service Provider?

 

According to Apple,  “Premium Service Providers consistently deliver exceptional repair support and customer experience that meet Apple’s exacting standard for high-quality repair and prompt service.”

 

There are over 200 authorized Apple retailers around the world and only 6% of them are awarded this distinction. You can see why we’re very proud of our staff and our customers for creating such a terrific atmosphere at our shop.

 

As a locally-owned business, and the only Authorized Apple Dealer in the Durham Region, we know we have a responsibility to provide only the best service to our customers. We always appreciate hearing feedback and are always happy to help.

 

Thank you to Apple, to our staff, and of course our customers for making it possible for us to receive this wonderful distinction. We can’t wait to see you in the shop and show you our terrific technical support firsthand!

6 Resolutions For Improving The Life Of Your Mac Device

by Alary Techon 2 February 2017in blog No comment

January is the time of the year where we can start fresh. It’s the time we promise ourselves to exercise more, eat better, be nicer so we can live a longer happier life. However, rarely do our resolutions revolve around the machines we love the most – our Macs!

 

Getting extra longevity out of your computer means taking extra good care of it. While some might say the average computer only last 4 years, you could get much more as long as the right upgrades and care is taken. Here’s some things to start trying this year.

 

Resolution 1: I will back up my hard drive at least once per week.

You might hear this a lot from us, and other computer repair shops, and teachers, and techies. Well guess what, if it didn’t need to be said we wouldn’t say it. By far, the biggest problems we encounter is lost data. Regular backups mean you don’t lose precious photos, files or other documents. Set up Time Machine and use it at least once a week on two different hard drives.

 

Resolution 2: I will try to fix my old laptop before throwing it out and buying a new one.

It’s no secret, laptops cost a lot of money. Especially Macs. However, these computers are built to last if you treat them well. If your machine encounters a problem, don’t immediately write it off. Apple service providers are very willing to diagnose the problem for little to no cost. You might find a solution in an upgrade that will lengthen the life of your computer and save the environment from another laptop in a landfill.

 

Resolution 3: I will clean up my files in the Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall

A new computer brings with it a fresh slate, ready to organize files in perfect alignment. But as the working year progresses, the files slowly become disorganized and your work flow suffers. A quarterly clean out of your files will free up space on your hard drive and save you tons of times in the long run. Also be sure to take advantage of the searchlight and smart folder features to more easily store and find important files.

 

Resolution 4: I will clean my computer regularly (once a week)

While your computer is more useful than a lot of the objects in your home, they all have one thing in common: dust collection. Yes even with Apple’s tech advancements, they’ve yet to come up with a way to keep dust off your keyboard and smudges off the screen. To avoid dust build up, regular wipe downs of your computer with a damp and lint free cloth help keep things sparkly and running smoothly.

 

 

Resolution 5: I will start using a new password for better security

 

 

When’s the last time you changed your password? If it’s been a while – you might be at risk. And heaven forbid you’ve been using the same password for all your accounts. As hard as it is to remember things, there’s free password storing services making managing passwords easier and safer.

 

Resolution 6: I’ll be wary of downloading nasty things from the internet

If it’s sent to you in a text message, an email or messenger – don’t click it right away. Even friends who get hacked might inadvertently send you a nasty link that phishes your email or downloads malware or spyware on your computer. With all the links there are to click on these days, be extra critical.

 

If you want to get your new year started right. Why not bring your computer in for a checkup and clean up? We’ll be happy to assess your computer’s health and give you our suggestions for making it last for many years to come. Just send us an email or reach out to us on Facebook to set up an appointment.
