An SSD and a memory bump beat a new budget laptop nine times out of ten.
Customers are often surprised when we talk them out of a purchase. But a 2020 laptop with a mechanical drive is not slow because its processor is old — it is slow because it is waiting on storage.
Swapping to an NVMe SSD typically cuts boot time from over a minute to under fifteen seconds, and makes every application launch feel instant.
Adding memory is the second half of the fix. Sixteen gigabytes ends the browser-tab tax that makes older machines stutter during ordinary work.
We clone your existing installation, so nothing is lost and there is no setup day. Most upgrades are done while you wait.
When a machine genuinely is past saving, we will say so — and we will take the old parts for responsible recycling either way.
