Our lights have flickered several times today and I had a call about Power cuts/fluxuations in Exeter damaging a lady's PC. Make sure you have surge protection to save your machines and Data! Be Safe!

It's not the first time Thinkpads have been used in outer space, most people would find the commute brutal. ... But Noah, he loves it!

☀️ Heatwave? Don't Forget About Your PC! 💻

I love the sunshine. However, Flash my canine customer service manager, did not like having to stay home this week!

With temperatures soaring, your computer is working harder than usual to stay cool. A little care now can help prevent overheating and unexpected breakdowns.

Here are our top tips:

✅ Keep air vents clear and free from dust.
✅ Make sure there's plenty of space around your PC for good airflow.
✅ Keep your computer out of direct sunlight.
✅ Use laptops on a hard, flat surface so the cooling vents aren't blocked.
✅ Save your work regularly, especially during hot weather.
✅ If your PC starts running unusually hot, noisy or slow, switch it off and let it cool down before using it again.

If your computer is constantly overheating, randomly shutting down or the fans sound like they're working overtime, it may be time for a professional clean or a health check.

At Mike's Laptops & Custom PCs, we're always happy to help keep your computer running at its best. If you have any concerns, just get in touch—we're here to help.

Stay cool, and keep your PC cool too! 😎🖥️

It's a rainy day so I'm not expecting many walk-ins today. When a lady and her daughter drop by just to thank me for helping them a week or 2 ago. It's always nice to be shown that your work is important to people...
And a voucher for a cafe on Exeters cathedral green is real nice too! THANK YOU Helen! 😁👍
