Computer Champ can build you a faster and more affordable computer than those you'll find in the stores. Delivery is free. You can customise what specs you want or we can suggest something for your computer needs. Desktops/towers generally outlast laptops, have higher specs and are cheaper & quicker to repair or upgrade.

If you have an older TV that doesn't have the Netflix App, then you can buy a Roku device to solve the problem. You buy one online, create a free Roku account with a USA address, plug it in to one of your TV's HDMI ports, connect it to your home WiFi and you're good to go. They cost about $85. (They're not available in Australian stores) If you need help getting one and setting it up, give Computer Champ a call on 0430 984 522.

OK, so you have a favourite website that you watch videos on, but you want to watch it on your nice big TV, without having to connect a cable from your laptop. Answer: buy a Google Chromecast (JB Hi-Fi are currently selling them for $59). Just plug it into your TV, connect it to your wifi network and then you can "cast" movies from your computer to your TV wirelessly. No networking, copying files to a hard drive, media players or cables needed. You can actually cast apps and media from an iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet, Mac or Windows computer. If you need help setting it up, call Computer Champ on 0430 984 522.

I highly recommend replacing your conventional HDD (Hard Disk Drive) with a SSD (Solid State Drive).
A lot of high end laptops that you buy today come with a 256GB SSD. So this is fast, but it's storage is a bit too small. Also a lot of computer desktops/towers only come with a slower HDD. Here at Computer Champ, I supply laptops with a 500GB or 1TB SSD. I also supply towers with a SSD and with an optional large HDD.
(If you can afford the higher end brand Samsung, then the SSD will likely be even faster and last much longer too. A really good SSD will use features like Trim, Garbage Collection, MLC or 3D NAND).
- SSDs are noticeably faster. Your computer will start faster, your files will open faster and copying & saving files will be faster. Significantly!
- SSDs are much tougher, with no moving parts they are much less likely to fail. No more replacing broken HDDs.
- SSDs are completely quiet, produce very little heat (making a laptop cooler), do not fragment and their data cannot be erased by magnets.
- Option 1: If you want speed, but don't need much storage, get a 240GB SSD or a 500GB SSD.
- Option 2: If you want speed, but also want storage, get a 500GB or a 1TB SSD and a 4TB HDD. I would then put Windows 10 and your favourite programs on the SSD and map all your data to the HDD.
