Hardware & Devices

Choosing the best device for your needs can be a challenge. If you stop and think about it, the constant improvements in desktop computers, laptops, tablets and phones is amazing. Every year, we are able to do more and get more bang for our buck in smaller and lighter devices.  However, the incredible pace of change can make it hard to keep up with what the best option is for you when you are in the market for a new device. Plus, as hardware adds more and more capabilities, you have more factors to weigh in your decision making. Your choices just keep increasing with devices such as smart watches and glasses on the way.

GeekCoaches can help you sort through all your device options and make the best choice for you.  We can help ensure you don’t buy something more than you need, or spend more than you must.  If you are thinking of switching platforms like from Blackberry device to an iPhone, we can help you weigh the pros and the cons.  Together, we can put an end to your buyer’s remorse.

Most people take few steps to protect their data until after experiencing a catastrophic loss.  GeekCoaches helps you avoid losing the contents of your computer should disaster strike. Hard-drive failures, lost or dropped devices, break-ins/theft, fires, major storms, electrical surges and viruses can destroy your treasured memories such as digital photos, financial records and work documents.

GeekCoaches can show you how to automatically backup your data on a daily basis, both on-site and online (in case something happens to your home).  We can also help you ensure your devices are protected with proper password strategies, remote data wiping/locking, find-my-device apps, firewalls, anti-spam tools and anti-virus software.  Furthermore, we can often show you how to implement these strategies with free software, and how to avoid significantly slowing down your systems or procedures.  Don’t wait until it is too late.

Over the years, the number of television channels on cable tv has grown significantly.  Unfortunately, the cost of cable television has also gone up.  Internet-based, video streaming services can save you hundreds of dollars allowing you to join those cutting cable or trimming their bills.  The various hardware devices and streaming services can be overwhelming though.  Furthermore, getting access to all the content you love, can initially be quite complicated.

GeekCoaches can show you what it takes to save money and be a cord-cutter.  As an added bonus, you can watch your favourite shows and movies when you want, where you want.   You will discover amazing new content and never miss your favourite shows again.
