How much is a laptop tune-up?

$99 for a cleanup and $119 for a Windows rebuild, both including the thermal service. The $49 diagnostic is waived when you go ahead, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.

Will a tune-up make a slow laptop fast again?

If the cause is heat, dust or software, yes. If the drive is the bottleneck, the tune-up removes the lag from heat and startup but the SSD is the actual fix, and you hear that before spending on both.

Do I need to back up first?

For a cleanup, no. For a rebuild, files are copied off and put back, and nothing is erased without your written approval. Backing up at home costs nothing and is never a bad idea.

Laptop tune-up and Windows rebuild

A tune-up is for the laptop that works but has become a chore: slow startup, heat, noise and a fan that never stops. It runs $99 to $119 depending on whether Windows is simply cleaned up or rebuilt, and it includes the thermal service most tune-ups skip.

How it runs

Clean the heat path, then the software.

Find the real cost of the slowness

Heat, a full drive, failing hardware and software bloat all feel identical from the keyboard. Each is measured before work is quoted.

Decide clean or rebuild

If Windows is sound it is cleaned and trimmed at $99. If the installation is damaged, a rebuild with your files kept is $119.

Bench test under load

Temperatures and fan behaviour are checked under load after the service, not just at idle on the desk.
