Six Reasons Why Computer Repair is Better Than Buying a New Computer
Executive Summary about Desktop Computer Repair by Bradley Chapple
Buying a new computer is typically an emotional purchase. This article will give you 6 very compelling reasons why computer repair is better than purchasing a new computer.
The Upfront Cost of Computer Repair is Less
Repair costs are usually less than the price of a new computer. Although purchasing a new computer is much less expensive than it was 10 years ago (or even one year ago), the average cost of computer repair is still less. The average desktop computer repair cost in our shop ranges anywhere from $80 to $240, and averages about $160. Likewise, the average laptop repair cost is a little bit more at $260.
Computer Repair Has No “Hidden Costs”
Computer repair helps you avoid the “hidden costs” of purchasing a new computer. When you purchase a new computer, the data from the old computer will need to be migrated to the new one. Data migration can be performed by a qualified computer professional, or by purchasing expensive software that is often difficult to use.There are many “data migration issues” that people fail to consider when debating whether to repair a computer or buy a new one. Choosing computer repair over a new computer purchase helps you avoid these headaches by pinpointing the problem on your current computer, and resolving only that issue.
Computer Repair Leaves User Settings Intact
Although you will become more comfortable with your new computer over time, when you buy a new computer, everything will be different at first. That means that a computer repair will not change the look or feel of your computer.
Computer Repair is Better for the Environment
It may seem obvious to many, but it’s worth reminding that computer repair is better for the environment. Even if there is a legitimate hardware problem, a new computer may not be the best solution.
Computer Repair Reduces Chances of Identity Theft
You may be surprised at what sorts of personal information can be found on a computer. Since computer repair typically doesn’t involve throwing anything away, you have less to worry about when it comes to identity theft. Computer repair keeps your data on your computer.
Computer Repair Will Make Your Current Computer Faster
Repairing, upgrading or giving your current computer a “tune-up” can not only make your computer more stable, but can also restore much, if not all, of your computer’s lost performance. A good computer repair professional knows exactly what to check to make a computer faster, more responsive and stable.
Summing Up…
Your best bet is to call a computer repair professional, explain the problem, and then tell them the year that your computer was purchased. Based on this information, they should be able to estimate a cost, and then tell you if your computer is actually worth the cost of the repair.
A Word of Warning
Be somewhat skeptical of advice from computer repair shops that also sell computers. Although this does not apply to every computer repair shop, many shop owners would much rather sell a new computer and make a $100 or more profit in less than 5 minutes (the time it takes to ring you up and scan your credit card), than to repair a computer. Repairing a computer, requires a much deeper level of knowledge, is more work and has a much smaller profit margin.
