Hi everyone. Just a quick note to let you know that we are available to provide you with support during the current Level 3 COVID period.

We have someone in the office to receive incoming repair jobs which need to be left at the table at the front door.

The rest of the team is working from home and can assist you with support over the phone or remotely. Just phone us on 09 8380030

Because working from home is considered an essential activity we can also source most of the computer hardware and software you might need and can arrange contactless delivery of this to you direct from our suppliers if required.

Please let us know if there is anything you need help with!

Stay safe and thank you for your continued support - The Team at Vivid Computers

Vivid Computers today launched a brand new website for UHY Haines Norton - Auckland Ltd Chartered Accountants.

Our work for UHYHN included a full assessment of their old site's Seach Engine Optimisation performance thanks to our partners at Website Optimisers. In a competitive business like accounting and tax you need to be scientific about your approach to getting the best possible rankings on Google and we're excited to see the results of this work pay off in the coming months for UHYHN.

Check it out at https://www.uhyhn.co.nz and let us know what you think. If your small or medium sized business or not-for-profit organisation needs help with your website let us know!

Vivid is pleased to have today launched two new websites for our client Distinction Furniture. Distinction has been a long term client of Vivid and are well known as suppliers of very good quality, New Zealand made furniture to schools. Their new site at http://www.distinction.net.nz is focussed on school furniture. They have also launched a site for office furniture at http://www.distinctionfurniture.co.nz
We'd have no hesitation in recommending Distinction and their products, they're a great company to deal with.

Interesting to compare what we were using technology wise a couple of decades ago... Today a customer brought in a Toshiba 310CDT laptop from 1998. This beast would have been a very nice model back in the day. It features a Pentium 200MMX processor, 32MB of RAM, 2GB of hard disk space, CDROM drive, 1.44Mb floppy drive, 12.1" screen running at 800x600 resolution and Windows 95.

In these pictures you can see it side by side with a brand new HP Spectre Pro X360 G2 which features an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM (256 times as much as the 18 year old Toshiba), a lightning quick 256GB solid state hard disk (128 times as much as the Toshiba), a high resolution 1920x1080 touchscreen and Windows 10 Professional.

You'll be pleased to know we managed to extract the customer's files from the Toshiba and reunite them with some old memories.

If you've got any old clunkers like this in your cupboard you'd like files extracted from or just securely wiped before you dispose of them we can assist. Likewise if you are keen for a technology upgrade to something like the sleek HP Spectre call us now!

Tell us about your first or early computer below in the comments section and the most interesting story will receive a $50.00 Vivid Computers gift voucher!

We are now able to do Ipad / Ipad2 / Ipad3 screen replacements - so if you've dropped your Ipad and broken it don't despair, give us a call. Quite often it is just the glass panel and digitizer unit that breaks and these can be replaced. If the damage is more severe, we can deal with your insurance company on the repair/replacement of your machine.
