If one (or more) or your computers are slow, they don't always need replaced.
We’ve had a few clients recently asking existing machines to do more than they were originally set up for. More software, browser tabs, cloud tools, background apps running all day.
And as software updates roll out, the demands on older machines often increase too. In some cases, the answer isn’t a brand new PC or laptop. A sensible upgrade often does the trick.
This month we’ve added RAM to several machines to help them cope better with day to day workloads. For some users, that simply means having lots of tabs and programs open at the same time. For others, especially businesses like private hire companies, the phone system may also be running through the machine, adding even more demand.
A RAM upgrade can often give a computer a new lease of life without the cost of replacing the whole device. Of course, it depends on the machine and what the user needs it for. Sometimes replacement is the right call.
That’s why it’s worth getting proper advice before assuming slow means finished.
