The upgrades that matter most

SSD upgrade: the biggest speed boost for any computer still running a hard drive. Boots in seconds.
RAM upgrade: more memory for dozens of tabs, Zoom, Photoshop and multitasking (on models with upgradeable RAM).
Clean OS install: years of clutter and startup programs gone.
Thermal service: dust out, fresh thermal paste, quieter fans and no more throttling.
Graphics card upgrade: for desktops and gaming PCs, see gaming PC repair.

We move all your files, settings and apps to the new drive, so you pick up exactly where you left off.
