If your computer has ever come to a crawl you probably didn't have enough memory. A lack of memory is the leading cause of systems becoming unbearably slow. So stock up now when memory is dirt cheap and avoid those expensive upgrades.

Don't just get a bigger drive. Get a faster drive. Experience twice the speed with a new solid state drive. Newer SSD technology can give you that boost you always wanted cutting start times in half and increasing the speed of programs.

Avoid future expenses with an extended warranty.

Get a printer that works for you! We have a variety of models from inexpensive inkjet printers, cost effective B&W lasers, all-in-one office printers, and even high end color laser printers.

Have us upgrade your Penguin with a Matte screen today and enjoy your laptop without the glare. Most laptops on the market ship with a gloss screen. While they look good in stores, they're terrible in well lit areas due to the reflective surfaces.

For those on the go protect your investment with a laptop bag. All our bags contain a padded pocket to ensure the safety of your laptop. Check the catalog for pictures.
