Nothing to complain about, just thought they would have more insight to improve the performance of my computer, but mostly said it was working fine. Not much help

Went great. Second time using Chris and he solved the problems within 90 minutes. Would have been done sooner but "patience" is required when dealing with computer fixes. We were often waiting on the PC to do what it needed to do as far as the fix, removing malware, installing newer versions of programs, etc. During the 'downtime' Chris was great about answering all my dumb computer questions. We'll use Chris again!
Description of Work: Chris "cleaned" a bunch of malware off my system and got Internet Explorer running again. Answered all my questions as well as those of my wife. We're very pleased with Chris' service.

I have used the man who comes out several times. I have and would refer him to other folks. The good thing about the service was that he was very knowledgeable about the computer realm. He is friendly, helpful and prompt. He even answers and returns his phone calls promptly.

Provider answered his own phone, friendly and professional. Arrived neat and clean at agreed time. Very patient with me and my very limited computer knowledge - fixed problem that I had called about and then cleaned up several "messes" I had created. A real pro.

He was prompt, gave good advice, very informative and well worth the charge. He took the computer and brought it back. He (Chris Lindley) was mindful of our economic needs. He was patient with my computer ignorance and my old age slowness. He was helpful in correcting my terminology so that my communication accurately relayed my problems. He was fast and efficient. As long as he is in business he will be my choice in the future re. computer needs. No doubt about it. norman gall, 1115 Crystal Spring, San Antonio, TX 78258.

He was very accommodating by accepting my big deal coupon months after the expiration date. After explaining what could be done for my computer, hr took the computer with him and cleaned it so that it now runs very quickly and easily. He also spent time discussing computer components with my son, as well as making recommendations for him to buy components to build his own. It was very much appreciated, even though my son eventually decided to purchase a ready-made laptop.

It all went well. Chris Lindley was punctual and very professional and returned to my home as well. He as called and e-mailed me to make sure everything was working well, and indicated that I should contact him in the future with any computer-related issues. My system now works fine and as a result of his upgrades it operates like a brand new system without all the glitches.
Description of Work: Installed new Motherboard, Processor, 4GB Memory and power supply. Installed Windows 7 Home Premium with service packs and updates. Installed Adobe Reader, Quicken, Printer, iTunes. Transferred all data and verified full operation of system. Installed and configured e-mail and various other software to include AVG antivirus.

Very good advice, recommended specific setups to maximize use of the SSD that I wanted installed. recommended what software not to use. Saved files and reinstalled critical documents. Very quick and efficient. Very happy with his work. Spent more than the offer for a tune up, but got what I actually wanted done so my system was working much more effectively.
Description of Work: Complete reinstallation of operating system on new solid state drive, including set up for operation for separation of program and document files, installation of new video card. (no parts all labor). Redid my daughter's laptop as well.

Chris was very kind and thorough. He fixed glitches, uploaded, downloaded programs, showed me how to the simplest things -- that on my previous computer I knew how to do, but NOT on Windows 8. He showed my husband how to navigate the printer - he got us back on track. His card is on my bulletin board for future reference.
Description of Work: I bought a new Windows 8 computer and could not get it run right -- Staples did not install programs properly -- or not at all. I am a complete Luddite when it comes to computers and I was in big trouble.

It went very well. He did a lot of work for us. We bought the little coupon and I thought he did a lot of work. It was of good value. The laptop was not working at all. We couldn't get it to start. It did not cost me more than the big deal purchase. We would definitely use them again in the future.

I would certainly use him again ... very knowledgeable, PATIENT, courteous and trustworthy!
Description of Work: I used the special you provided. We scheduled and he came immediately! However, my computer is so old that it cannot keep up with the newer apps, programs, etc. THAT is the only reason it cost more and the poor guy was here for three hours! So, I know he did everything he could which has helped tremendously until I can get my new computer.

I've used Appstar (Chris) for about 3 years now. Usually 2-3 times a year. If Angie's List had an A++ rating, Chris would get it! He knows his stuff and is very reasonable with his pricing. Appstar works with me at my home office: desktop, laptop, wi-fi, but he would also work well with small offices and networks.
Description of Work: Transfered programs and data from desktop computer to new laptop & showed me how to use Windows 8
