Blue screen of death? Spinning beach ball? Sad Mac face? Grinding, clicking or chirping sounds from your laptop or desktop? Don’t lug that thing on the train or take a taxi across town. Call or email us at Urban TekTonic, instead. We make house calls anywhere in Manhattan, with no additional travel charges.
Fast Mac, Fat Wallet
Maybe your old Mac desktop or laptop stopped running your favorite software like it should. Or, perhaps, you can’t even watch YouTube videos without them skipping, or freezing your whole computer. Before you part with a one or two thousand dollars that you’re not quite ready to part with, talk to us about your options. In many cases, we can make your Mac perform better than it ever has, while increasing your capacity for storing pictures, music, and movies.
Urban TekTonic can upgrade the hardware in your Mac for a fraction of the cost you would pay if you took it to an Apple store. Like Apple, we only use high-performance computer parts from trusted name-brands, all of which are manufacturer guaranteed. The reason for the large variance in the cost of, say, upgrading your memory at the Apple store versus the same upgrade at Urban TekTonic, is due to Apple’s enormous mark-up on hardware. In parts alone, adding memory to your Mac could cost you as much as 400% more at an Apple store, or through their website.
Don’t get us wrong, we love Macs, too! A lot. That’s why we’re telling you.
Virus Alert Pop-Ups?
Your Windows PC is just a year-or-so old, so why is it so slow these days? Bots, worms, trojans, phishing hooks, and root-kits, oh my! You know what to do–give us a ring and we’ll kill all the viruses, scrub away all the junk files and programs that have mysteriously appeared, and prevent a host of undesirables from ever having access to your computer.
Is your computer informing you of an infection, over and over again? That’s what our techs have started calling botherware. It may start out as being more annoying than harmful, but it just doesn’t stop. It will eventually gathering all sorts of malicious programs, until your personal information is at risk.
Hasta la Vista
Did your computer come with Windows Vista? Don’t be ashamed, it’s not your fault, and you’re not crazy–a new computer should not be slower and more difficult than the one you had over six years ago. Windows 7 is everything Vista should have been. Let Urban TekTonic help you upgrade to Windows 7 and show you all its new tricks, or ease you back into good, ol’ Windows XP.
