Don’t take our word, see what your fellow reporters and captioners say about Geek-a-Byte's Signature Setup.
This was the quickest and easiest laptop purchase of my career. Tom and his team of technicians setup my new Dell laptop so perfectly that I was able to take a job the day after delivery!

I've purchased at least 20 laptops over my entire career, and with this last one I decided to let Tom at Geek-a-Byte set things up for me. Best. Decision. Ever. I wish I found him 20 years ago!

At first, I was a bit worried and questioned why I should spend so much and let someone else setup my system. All I can say is that all my troubles quickly faded away, and I couldn't be happier.

Typical turn-around time for new laptop sales is roughly 7 to 10 business days, however, most orders are shipped well before then. After your purchase we will make arrangements to retrieve critical files from your existing system. Once complete, we will begin to meticulously configure your laptop, add your files, and ship to your home or office.
We're always evaluating current technology and the latest systems from top laptop manufactures in the world, but we don't sell just anything. We choose systems that are built using quality components, but just as important to us, manufacturers that provide the best support. Currently we specialize in selling & supporting Lenovo and Dell laptops.
Providing you with a turn-key system requires that we transfer certain files from your old system to your new system. This process involves installing your CAT Software, and then adding your user setting files, main dictionaries, block files, spelling dictionaries, and phone books. If you need more files transferred we'll be happy to help with that, too.
This answer begins with first determining what kind of problem you are having. If your problem is related to your CAT Software, always start by calling their support department. Any hardware issues should be routed to the laptop manufacturer. If you are unsure of who to call, simply give us a call and we will happily assist you.
