hardware upgrades
pc-mac can upgrade existing hardware to extend the life of your equipment. From memory upgrades to graphic cards and hard disks.
Getting the right specification for a PC has always been important, but with today’s software and operating systems it’s critical. Modern operating systems and applications need the right hardware to work well with plenty of memory and hard drive space. Cut a few corners and you’ll end up with a machine that’s slower, less responsive, incompatible with your infrastructure and in some instances not even usable.
You don’t want the hassle of buying parts from multiple suppliers, and certainly won’t want to take their brand new machine apart the moment it arrives.
Unfortunately, manufacturers and retailers know this, and price accordingly. They put a premium on the higher spec machines and optional upgrades that are, in fact, essential. The fantastic deals you see advertised may sound great, but take a closer look at the specs of those machines and you’ll see older, slower technology, and plenty of those cut corners. This again is where pc-mac’s experience and knowledge is invaluable, providing you with hardware upgrades that are cost effective and right for your business.
pc-mac tips for saving money on your hardware
- don’t rush out to the shops and purchase the first offer you see there’s always a better offer somewhere and pc-mac will be able to offer you an even better purchase.
- know the difference between “consumer” and “business” hardware – especially in the case of laptops. They usually come with a home operating system which may not even work in your business’s network.
- the processor is the most important part – and often hardest or impossible to upgrade. Make sure that you’ve got the latest processor fitted.
- memory is one of the easiest upgrades along with hard drives. Don’t pay extra for the next model up just because it has a bigger hard drive or more RAM, work out what it would cost for pc-mac to do the upgrade.
- some laptops can be difficult to work on – the support section of the manufacturers website has downloadable manuals informing you how to upgrade parts, what’s possible without voiding the warranty and confirming exactly which components are compatible.
