I come to your home, discuss your needs in person, and provide a printed list of 2–3 recommended options with clear prices.

$220 + cost of equipment
A complete "handle it for me" package: We discuss your needs, budget, and preferences. I research and provide a short list of recommended options with prices. You choose what you want; nothing is purchased without your approval. I arrange the purchase (or help you order in your name), then set up the computer with updates and basic software before it reaches your home. I deliver it, connect it to your internet and printer, and make sure everything is working.
Ideal for anyone who wants a new computer that "just works" without the stress of shopping and setup.
