Who Do You Want Working On Your Computer?


If you look around the number of "Computer Techs" both professional and not, you will find they start number the same as people who work on cars. The difference between the all these computer techs it price, skill level and philosophy of work.

Geek Squad will charge you between $50 to $300 to work on your computer. Rent-a-Nerd gives you a flat rate of $39 per hour. Independents computer techs are charging from $25 to $125 per hour. A good portion of the time their price will reflect their skill level.

The younger computer techs are ones that grew up with computers in their bedroom. They would fix their own computer when it broke. The older computer techs have seen the change and development of computers and technology over the years.

The geeks (as I call them) customize and set up any computer the way they think it should work. Then their is those just fix the basic problem and nothing more. The third class, I like to call is the Teacher. They not only repair, but help the computer user better understand and use their computer.
