Vincent Miller · Exeter
"Mike has provided us with fantastic service sourcing our office PCs and a gaming PC, and when I thought I had a problem with the gaming PC recently, Mike helped solve it quickly and without charging, which I really didn't expect. Will be back for upgrades and 100% recommend. Thank you for your friendly and honest service."

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can't find what you're after? Just get in touch. We're happy to talk it through.

Is a refurbished laptop actually reliable?

Yes. We focus on premium ex-corporate Dell and Lenovo machines, chosen for their build quality, and every one is checked over before it goes out the door. They typically outlast consumer-grade laptops at a fraction of the original price.

What's covered by the 14-day satisfaction guarantee and the 1-year warranty?

If you're not happy with your purchase, let us know within 14 days and we'll make it right. New custom PC builds also come with a full year's warranty on parts and labour. Ask us for the specifics for your machine during your free consultation.

How much does a repair or upgrade cost?

Repairs and upgrades start from £60, and we'll always give you honest, upfront pricing after a free consultation. No vague quotes, no surprises.

Do you build custom PCs to my own spec?

Absolutely. Whether you know exactly what you want or need guidance from scratch, we hand-pick quality parts around your budget. You can even build it with us hands-on through our "Build With You" service.

Where are you based, and do I need an appointment?

We're at 4 Southernhay West, Exeter, EX1 1JG. Reach out by phone, WhatsApp or the form below to arrange a free consultation at a time that suits you.
