He called me the day after I dropped off my constantly-stalling laptop to give me a technical diagnosis, a cost estimate of various options, and his final recommendation (install a solid state drive and upgrade my operating system). \n\nHe explained that while my laptop could use more RAM and a new battery and he'd happily install both, neither are urgently needed. So I passed on both, and saved ~$300. \n\nMost importantly, my laptop is running beautifully again."^^ . "2014-04-07T00:00:00"^^ .
