Welcome

So for the last say, 5 maybe six years I have had my mom, her mates, my mates, my uncles, aunts, teachers, neighborhood cats and dogs calling me for help with their tech. issues. I don't mind, I love it, it's what I do - it's what I was born to do. It's like a quest sorting out problems that are driving others crazy. I guess you could say it makes me feel good to say I have been able to save at least one computer from being thrown out of the window or rolled down a flight of stairs. It keeps me grounded, I would also like to say humbled but being king of the tech world at my tender age (only 17) is a proper head sweller.
Anyway, I decided to put my incredible talents to good use and offer my services on a more official basis. The world is crying out for a person that they can call to say - "hey, I've just lost my entire thesis on Word and rather than take the sledge hammer to the living room wall I was wondering whether you may have any suggestions!" Now I'm not promising miracles, but I am good. AND I'm free ! (though I would never refuse a donation towards my impending college fund, NEVER, that would be wrong). So for all your technical woes - CHECK WITH ME, I might be able to help. You can email me and I'll walk you through your problems. I'll also be helping local schools, churches, community orgs. and will work by referral too. So if you know of anyone who needs a hand, tell them to check me out. Who knows, I may even come to you if you're in my area.
In addition to my services you'll find that I'm also something of a product junkie, so i'll be giving my personal opinion on a variety of gadgets, gizmos and all that stuff.

Now here's my disclaimer:
I'm a kid OKAY! I'm not an expert, though I'm pretty darn good. If you are looking for a miracle I can give you our pastor's number. My opinions don't matter, they're mine. Get your own if you disagree. Though I'm pretty sure you will agree with me 99% of the time, you will buy products upon my recommendation, and you will thank me.
And finally, don't quote me on anything. I'm a KID! I'm just trying to make the world a little less frustrating. So welcome to my blog! Visit me. Leave comments. Ask questions. Tell me your problems (no personal girly stuff please, i'll only laugh).
See ya soon.

My favorite Windows PCs Part 1

I love macs, but every so often there's a Windows PC that makes me just come out and  say "cool". In this part I'll be talking about the undisputed powerhouses of the PC world. Those PCs which only the most elite tech enthusiast would dare to use. These are an order of magnitude more powerful than the average PC user needs, this is the pinnacle of consumer computers.
Here's a few:

HP Touchsmart

Not the fastest PC available for this price but certainly one of the coolest. This desktop comes with a touchscreen built in, as well as special software to make touch-screen computing easier. Starting from $1,299.99, these aren't cheap but they give you a cool factor few other PCs can boast. Only time will tell how long that remains though.

Dell XPS

As a gamer, I find this model of PC to be particularly enticing. The brand XPS is known for delivering high performance computers, and the line has as of yet, never failed to deliver. Telling any tech enthusiast you have an XPS will surely grant you a nod of approval from any self-respecting tech enthusiast.

Alienware

If the XPS is the Rolls-Royce of computers, then this is the Hummer. Large, loud, flashy but extremely powerful. This is the absolute best computer I've seen on the market, in my opinion.

Next time I'll cover mid-range PCs, the type that most people would want to look for.

Hi Chris
A friend of mine told me about your website. I'll be going off to study in Europe in January. I don't want to take too much stuff, and definitely nothing bulky. So 2 questions: What type of laptop do you recommend I take? And is there a laptop that uses dual power so I don't have to worry about current converters? Your help will be really appreciated.

Yeah, I still blog, though yeah, I admit the current state is a bit sad. I'll work on it.
If you're wondering about your previous question, I responded in a new post. Check it out:

Basically get a netbook for a low budget, an ultra portable for frequent traveling but a normal laptop will do just fine if it is to be used as a normal desktop computer. If you need a laptop with a little oomph! under the hood but also a decent battery life, may I suggest the new Macbooks or HP latops?

About Me

What's to know? I'm 17. Born in Jacksonville, Florida. Lived in the U.K for several years. I'm supposedly really, really clever - some call it gifted. I have a younger brother (he's pretty cool but don't tell him I said so). That's it!
