Phase 4 Computers

02/06/2026

What a lovely surprise to receive this handwritten note from our local MP today.

We’re incredibly proud to have been shortlisted as finalists in four categories at the National Tech Awards 2026, and it’s fantastic to have that achievement recognised here in Harrogate.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way — our customers, team, partners, friends and family. Your support means the world.

Now we’ll keep our fingers crossed for the finals!

We're back online! That was a scary few minutes, but as He-Man says I have the power!!!

We’re currently experiencing a power cut in High Harrogate, which is affecting our phones and some services.
We’ll be back online as soon as possible and will respond to any messages as soon as we’re able to.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Not every virus makes itself obvious.

Sometimes it starts with a computer that suddenly feels slow.
Or a browser that keeps changing.
Or pop-ups appearing from nowhere.
Or strange programs you don’t remember installing.

If something feels off, it’s better to get it checked sooner rather than later — especially if you use the computer for banking, email, documents, or business.

🎉 We’re finalists!

We’re genuinely over the moon to say that Phase 4 Computers has been chosen as a finalist in four categories at the national Tech Awards 2026, hosted by Tech for Techs.

We’re finalists for:

🏆 Tech For Techs Community Expert – Rich Towers-Forth
🏆 Best Use Of Social Media
🏆 Best Online Store
🏆 Best Shop Front

Honestly, thank you.

Being nominated in the first place meant the world to us, but to then be picked as finalists is something really special.

These are national industry awards, with computer shops, repair businesses, IT companies, and tech retailers from across the UK involved, so to have Phase 4 recognised among thousands of businesses out there is a massive honour.

A huge thank you to our customers, local supporters, suppliers, friends, family, and everyone who took the time to vote for us. Every vote, share, recommendation, review, and kind word really does make a difference.

We’re proud to be flying the flag for Harrogate and for independent tech businesses.

We find out the winners on 3rd July, so we’ll be keeping everything crossed until then 🤞

Thank you for supporting Phase 4 Computers 💙

𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻? 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗳𝗳. A damaged screen doesn’t always mean a new laptop.

A cracked screen can make a laptop look completely finished — but that isn’t always the case.

Whether it’s been dropped, knocked, closed on something, or damaged in a bag, many laptop screens can be replaced without replacing the whole machine.

So before you start shopping for a new laptop, it may be worth checking if a screen replacement is the better option.

If your PC is struggling, stuttering, overheating, or holding you back, it might not mean you need to replace everything.

Sometimes the right upgrade makes all the difference. Other times, a fresh custom build is the better option.

Either way, a gaming PC should be built properly for the games you actually want to play. 🎮🕹️
