Making Your Technology Serve YOU.
Are you tired of spending hundreds of dollars on new devices that seem slow to begin with, and quickly get even slower, almost impossible to use? Inundated with pop-up notifications, ads and unexplained icons, seemingly always engaged in a fight with your technology? Do you instinctively go to make a snack or get a drink when you turn on your computer just because of how long it takes to boot everything? If any of these experiences and more apply to you, we specialize in simplifying and streamlining devices so they do the things you bought them for and don’t drag you through the mud for it.
I’m Brendan, founder of Geeks Cheaper (previously The Cheaper Geek), established in 2007. My goal was to offer superior, cost-effective tech services that big brands and retailers seemed to overlook in their zeal to, well, sell more computers. With formal education in computer repair and web design, I jumped into the industry early in adulthood but was disappointed with its tendency to leave issues unresolved, leading people to incessantly upgrade or replace PCs.
Fast forward to 2023, and despite the efforts of myself and the honest geeks out there doing their best to control it, the situation, unfortunately, has worsened. Innovations in silicon technology approach their nano-scale limit, and amidst inflation, supply issues, and chip shortages, we no longer see the once-anticipated price-per-performance growth. Devices today are inundated with bloatware, unnecessary notifications, and endless updates, making a new computer potentially slower for its price than ones from years past. Educating the public is vital to prevent them from being exploited by major tech corporations.
Unless there’s a significant shift in device manufacturing, it’s logical to repair, refurbish, and enhance existing hardware. Don’t be deceived by superficial upgrades like new designs or stickers. We encourage customers to sidestep the pitfalls modern tech giants set – to utilize our knowledge and services to make your devices work for YOU.
Additionally, we offer specialized technical services in AI image generation, LLMs, digital marketing, website development, applets, video production, audio engineering, and more – along with tutoring so that you can gain the skills to use the tech in the ways you always wanted. We are living in a golden age of creativity where the limits to manifesting your dreams are easily broken and thousands of tools are literally a click away. Let us help you open these doors to your future!
