A slow or broken laptop doesn't automatically mean it's time for a new one. Many issues that feel terminal are quick, affordable fixes. Here's how to decide.

Usually Worth Repairing

  • Slow performance. An SSD upgrade and a tune-up can make an older laptop feel brand new for a fraction of replacement cost.
  • Cracked screen or bad hinge. Common, fixable, and far cheaper than a new machine.
  • Weak battery. A simple swap restores all-day life.
  • Won't boot. Often a storage or software issue — recoverable in many cases.

Lean Toward Replacing

If the machine is many years old, the motherboard has failed, and parts are scarce or costly, replacement may make more sense. Even then, we can recover your files and transfer your data to a new device.
