Avoid Excessive Macbook Repair Costs

MacBooks are popular computers and their use as day-to-day laptops has increased; sales are up in Apple stores and the MacBook Pro evolves every year. These machines, although high performers as laptops go, are still prone to hardware failure. The most common circumstances are simple breakage, where a MacBook repair shop can swap out damaged parts and have the machine up and running again in no time. Apple stores and Apple retailers on the other hand, may take longer. Many Apple Stores will not take on repairs at all, but pass them on to a local Apple repair center. MacBook Pro screen repairs are a common request at the average Apple Store. As with all laptop screens, they are delicate and easy to damage if not cared for properly. Another common item that has to be replaced is the keyboard, due to liquid spills or other abuse. An Authorized MacBook repair shop can make repairs for all of these types of damage and have your laptop back in fully working order with guaranteed workmanship. The Apple MacBook Pro is not known for easy “do-it-yourself” servicing. Like many other modern laptop designs, one wrong move can cause enough damage to make your wallet sting. Motherboard replacements for laptops are not cheap! MacBook repair costs can be avoided/reduced by: Having any necessary repairs made by an authorized MacBook or MacBook Pro repair service provider. Their work is guaranteed and you know it will be done properly. Pay only once for a repair! • Get your MacBook repair performed locally – When the Apple Store sends your machine away, it costs you money and you have no personal contact with the MacBook Repair/Service provider. Local repairs can be more easily tracked. You can also talk to an engineer about your MacBook and exactly what you need, while getting advice at the same time. And, you can often receive a loaner until your MacBook is ready! • Keep your MacBook cool – overheating is a common way to damage batteries and reduce their life. Don’t block the air vent where the fan blows hot air out between the hinges. • Make sure cables are tidy before moving your MacBook – picking up the machine with cables attached can put a great deal of strain on the cable ends/sockets and cause expensive damage. • Don’t put pens or other objects on the surface of the laptop – closing the lid on objects can easily cause broken hinges, keyboards and screens.

Apple Store, Mac Reseller or AASP? Which One is best for Your MacBook Repair?

If there is one thing that most Mac owners don’t think about much, it’s finding a Mac repair shop. In fact, many Apple fans think the only Mac-related business they need to know about is that “shrine of 21st century technology” – the Apple Store. Fortunately, there’s a good chance you could own a Mac for years and never need to take it back to the Mac reseller or look up an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP). Macintosh is known for making the most reliable computers and electronic devices to be found anywhere. But here is some valuable advice just in case you need a Mac repair. Finding an Apple service provider that you can trust may seem difficult, but sometimes it is just a matter of knowing what you’re trying to avoid. Don't get your Mac fixed at an Apple Retail location. Try to find an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) in your area instead. If you live in West LA, then CompuTech Support Services is a great example of this. When you take your MacBook repair to an Apple Store or a Mac reseller, they have a vested interest in selling you a new computer. You want a Mac repair technician who will give you all your options; someone whose main motivation is not to sell you a new Apple Computer, but to save you money while providing you with the best solution possible. Whether it’s fixing your existing Mac, or getting you set up with a new one, CompuTech will do what’s best for you. Along the same lines, the Apple Store or a Mac reseller may try to sell you solutions that you don’t really need. Avoid a long wait by going directly to the Apple repair shop. If you had planned on taking your MacBook repair to the Apple Store, you may be in for a long wait. Not only will you wait in line to speak with a techie at the Genius Bar, you will also wait longer to get your computer back. Many of the repairs brought into the Apple Store are ultimately sent out to Apple repair shops anyway, so why not start by visiting the repair shop directly? Los Angeles-based CompuTech is not just your standard AASP; they are ranked in the top 2 percent of all Apple Authorized Service Providers in North America. Your local AASP offers more upgrade options. Looking for a Mac repair on an older laptop or desktop model? Your local Apple Store or Mac reseller may not be equipped to work on it. If you want to upgrade an older Mac computer by adding memory, a new power supply or CD/DVD drives, then your Apple Store will send you directly to an independent Mac repair shop. Even on current models, their upgrade options are limited. Whether you need an upgrade performed at your place of business, or you are dealing with minor damage to a personal MacBook, skip the Apple Store and call on CompuTech. CompuTech is conveniently located in West Los Angeles. You can rely on the expertise of their certified Mac support technicians.

What is the Best Way to Sync Data between Multiple Macintosh Computers and Devices?

Ever since Google started testing Google Sync two years ago, new Mac users left the Mac store wondering, “Which is the better option… to spend the $99 per year on Apple’s MobileMe application, or skip the expense and use Google Sync for free?” Surprisingly, even with the recent rise of Google smart phones, Google Calendar and Google Docs, many Mac support experts still recommend MobileMe. In case you’re unfamiliar or you haven’t already been sold on MobileMe at the Mac store, MobileMe is an application that automatically syncs your iPhone, MacBook or Mac desktop, iPod and iPad. It is particularly helpful with email, contacts and calendar info, but also includes 20 GB or online storage space. Since the application belongs to Apple, it's no surprise to find that your Mac store, Apple support website and many Mac support professionals recommend it - but is it really worth $99 per year? Now that Google Sync is able to accomplish the same thing on Droid phones, PCs, and any other laptop – as well as Macintosh computers and devices – MobileMe may be losing ground among longtime subscribers. On the other hand, Apple stands to gain revenue from SmartPhone buyers who like the flexibility of using their cherished Gmail and Google applications on a new iPhone. Now, thanks to Google Sync, iPhone users who want to access their Gmail and Google Calendar no longer need to go through iTunes or a third-party software application; they can sync up their Google contacts or calendar entries quickly and easily. So why do so many of the support specialists at the Mac store still insist on MobileMe over Google Sync? Much of it has to do with habit, but there is still the benefit that comes from MobileMe’s integration with all the other products for sale at the Mac store. Sure, you can still use Google to sync data between most devices, but for someone who is already accustomed to MobileMe, Google Sync may seem a bit cumbersome. And let’s face it; we all know how much Mac users enjoy the purity of using “all things Apple”. Looking for the best Mac support service in West LA, Los Angeles, Santa Monica or Hollywood?
