It is less critical for Apple computers to have virus protection but as they become more popular it is something that should be considered.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section icon=”fas|question-circle” title=”Would I be better with a laptop than desktop?”][vc_column_text]The simple answer to this question is if you don’t need to move the computer around then a desktop is almost always a better choice, more powerful, easier to upgrade and repair and more convenient with larger keyboard and screen.

Laptops are great if you want to move around the office or house and maybe travel frequently, they are always a comprise on performance compared to a desktop though.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section icon=”fas|question-circle” title=”What should I clean my computer or laptop screen with?” tab_id=”” el_id=”1558863561841-111d0537-c664″][vc_column_text]If in doubt it is safe to simply use a soft damp cloth and gently wipe the screen, then dry afterwards. If you have some rubbing alcohol or alcohol wipes these also work very well.

For the most part you will also be fine to use normal window cleaning products but we advise caution. Some screens have anti-reflective coatings which can be degraded, if in doubt ask us before cleaning.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][us_separator size=”large”][vc_column_text]
