Independent Technology Consulting & Advice

Avoid Costly Mistakes. Get Unbiased, Expert Guidance.

Technology is complex, and walking into a retail store often means facing aggressive sales tactics and confusing jargon. Many people walk out with devices that are either wildly overpriced or completely unfit for their actual needs (such as slow, un-repairable budget laptops).

At PC Fix, we provide completely independent, unbiased, and patient consulting right at your kitchen table for a flat rate of £35 per session (up to 1 hour). We do not sell hardware, we do not take commissions, and we do not represent any brand. Our only goal is to save you money, protect your security, and give you peace of mind.

What We Can Help You Choose & Plan (The £35 Consulting Menu)

We use our years of professional sales and technical experience to help you research, compare, and plan your next technology purchases. We can sit down with you and advise on:

💻 Windows Laptops & Desktops:

• • Finding the perfect screen size, weight, and keyboard layout for your comfort.

  • Explaining technical specs (RAM, Processors, and Storage) in plain, simple English.

  • Ensuring you avoid cheap, slow, un-repairable machines (like those with non-replaceable eMMC storage).

📱 Tablets & iPads

• • Deciding between Apple iPads and Android tablets depending on what is easiest for you to use.

  • Finding the right storage size so you don't run out of space for family photos and videos.

🖨️ Printers & Scanners:

• • Explaining the cost-difference between Inkjet and Laser printers (saving you £100s in ongoing ink costs).

  • Selecting a highly reliable model that doesn't force you into annoying, expensive monthly ink subscriptions.

🛡️ Software & Security Choices:

• • Advising on whether you actually need to pay for antivirus software (like McAfee or Norton) or if Windows' free built-in security is enough.

  • Explaining the difference between Microsoft 365 subscriptions and free, one-off office alternatives.

To maintain our professional standards and protect our well considered pricing structure to ensure fairness for all out clients, this is a strictly advisory, sit-down service.

• No physical tools are unpacked, no computer cases are opened, and no software configurations, email setups, or technical repairs are performed during a £35 consultation.

• If, during our session, you decide you would like us to perform hands-on technical work, the session will immediately transition to our standard Callout Service rates.
