*Spring Special Offers and Our Pricelist:

As you may have already noticed if you've been visiting our website with any regularity, we have not been keeping our pricelist up to date as often as we'd like. One major reason for this is that as soon as we've posted our latest pricelist, some of the prices have changed, as this is normal in the world of computer components!. That aside, we will post the latest special offers on here in future (our main page), and any items that you see LISTED in our pricelist, feel free to call or email us for the latest price on that particular item.

We are also clearing stock of older Laptop RAM so if you have a Laptop over 1 year old, we more than likely have the RAM in stock to allow you to upgrade it, and we’re disposing of it at heavy discounts (i.e. well below cost), so contact us if you are interested in upgrading your RAM, and thereby extending the life of your laptop.

Re: Backup Solutions.

As you may have already learnt to your cost, Laptops are much more venerable to data loss than desktops, as they are likely to get knocked around during their life, making them susceptible to hard disk crashes and consequent data loss. XL Computers have a solution to this problem, by providing an automatic backup solution on a regular basis, at an interval that suits you (i.e. if you are a heavy user of your laptop and update your info every day, we recommend a daily backup as a minimum).

Typical Laptops Catered for include:

Acer, Dell, Toshiba, Fujitsu Siemens, Sony, IBM

As well as the less popular Brands, such as:

Packard Bell, Asus / ECS / MSI

 

WEB DOMAIN AND HOSTING SERVICE: As part of our new Service, we are pleased to introduce our new Web Domain and Hosting Service. Check out our new site by clicking on the name for XLCOMPUTERS HOSTING / DOMAINS for more information.

COMPUTER DISPOSAL SERVICE: You may have seen our recent advertising campaign in the press, advertising a computer disposal service. We've started providing this service, because we offer our customers several key advantages in providing this service.  Number 1 it's FREE to customers of XL Computers. We now factor in a disposal charge into the original price of the Computer, such that we can then offer to take it back for free once you're upgrading. If you don't have an XL Computer, not to worry we also provide a free service on those PC's also, as long as there is any salvageable items within the computer that may be worth retrieving. Otherwise there is a standard Disposal fee of €40/computer. If you have a number of computers to get rid of, let us know and we can work out a deal on a per case basis. Please note that the computers are dis-assembled and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. This is important to us, as we are an eco aware company.

It is extraordinary that in this day and age, many Individuals (and Companies) dispose of their paper litter very carefully by shredding it, yet when it comes to their computers, often they are prepared to have them scrapped with little thought of the importance destroying the data on them, and often deciding to delete the computers files before disposal, not realizing that this just isn't enough when it comes to protecting your information privacy, as we can amply demonstrate. Even formatting the hard drive prior to disposal is no guarantee of removal. Hence it is important to bring the Computer to an expert to have the data removed safely, so you can rest assured that all of your information is SAFELY and DEFINITELY disposed of. Call us and we can give you some free advise on this issue.

Our Specials. Ex Demo PC's available from €99 !!!
(Typical spec: 1GHz CPU/256MB RAM/ 20GB Hard Drive/15" Monitor/Internet ready/Office package)
