We have plenty of these 20,000mAh powerbanks in stock right now for £25. Charge your phone, tablet, laptop, torches.. anything that charges over USB-A or USB-C. We highly recommend keeping at least one in the house in case of a power cut, and with another Met Office yellow warning of snow right now, you never know!

They are great for travelling as well, when you might not have access to mains electricity for a day or two, or hiking/cycling/sailing. Use a solar panel to charge it during daylight hours so you can use your smartphone at night!

Wednesday was a beautiful day to visit one of our customers up on the Otterburn Ranges! The old Roman road there is very striking indeed. Next time I'll remember to bring my DSLR; for now these photos from my smartphone will have to suffice.

Thank you Sophie from Todburn Soaps for the much appreciated shout-out, not to mention a photo of one her of her wonderful goats to brighten our day! Printers can be almost as stubborn as goats, but we know how to get them working again. Our goat herding skills, not so much!

Massive shout out to Michael @ Colliedog Computers today as he and his lovely partner came and rescued me (and my printing crisis!) this afternoon. Thank you so very much - absolutely brilliant !!!

Today's mini puzzle. Removable keycaps on mechanical keyboards allow you to thoroughly clean your keyboard, but would you know where to put them afterwards?

We are open today, but it's a bit noisy! Work is being done on the shopfront (both floors) today and tomorrow. As such we will basically be closed tomorrow, but still reachable by phone and checking emails.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding!

Just in case you're curious what a section of a laptop looks like inside, here's a photo we took recently whilst replacing the DDR5 RAM SO-DIMM in a very sleek high-end Lenovo laptop. Note the extra fan and heatpipe for a dedicated GPU.

Another satisfied customer!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! We didn't even have time to put up the Christmas lights this year, so here's a snowy photo of Rothbury's football pitch from back in January 2010.

Thanks to all of you who support our business and in Rothbury & Coquetdale. Here's to a happy, peaceful, and prosperous 2023.

The lights are up at least and the window display should be finished by tomorrow!

The shop will be closed on December 23rd and will be open again on January 12th. As usual the main phone number will be monitored for important or urgent enquiries and of course those customers to whom we provide phone & internet connectivity, web hosting, or email hosting, should have our mobile number for out of hours support.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)

These national lockdown periods have for many been an opportunity to get all sorts of tasks done around the home. But in our experience, one thing that people often don't get round to doing before it is too late, is backing up their precious digital data. As this infographic says, the majority of people value their digital content but are still not backing it up regularly.

Are you one of the ~25% of people who have never backed up their data? Call us on 01669620070 and we'll help rectify that as soon as possible! We can supply the expertise, products, and services necessary to ensure your precious data is protected.

If you have any questions at all about backup, data storage, disaster recovery for your business, or anything related, please don't hesitate to get in touch for a chat.
