Testimonials

I have bought two refurbished Macbooks from Appel. Keith is friendly and helpful and will go out of his way to solve problems, his pricing is very fair and this level of personal service is hard to find anywhere. Refurbished Black Mac Book supplied Stuart, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

I was delighted that Keith could examine and diagnose my ailing PowerBook G4’s sickness. He breathed at least another year’s life into it. PowerBook G4 12” cleaned & set up backup Chloe, Ludlow, Shropshire

The hard drive in my recording studio iMac went bang midway through recording an album with potentially disastrous consequences. Keith at Appel came to the rescue quickly and provided a great service at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended! 21.5″ iMac recovered all data from faulty HD and installed new Matthew, Wolverhampton, West Midlands

Keith offers a great service – a reliable, knowledgeable and sensibly priced solution. MacBook replaced hard disk drive and attempted data recovery. George, Clun, Shropshire

15″ MacBook Pro Unibody i7 upgrade RAM & replace failing HD. Permanent errors on hard drive but managed to repair temporarily and recover all data. 2 x 4G RAM fitted, new drive & data recovery completed. NB we have software to test integrity of drives in more detail than Apple’s Disk Utility. Sometimes a pass in Disk Utility does not mean the disk is OK as experienced by this client. Symptoms are slow performance and poor data transfer speeds.

I was very grateful that you checked over my laptop at short notice. You provided a prompt and courteous service and should the need arise I would not hesitate to contact you again. MacBook Pro 17″ fixed overheating and repaired PC partition to access data

Robert, Watford, Herts

Fabulous service! iMac 20″ data recovery & replace hard disk Robert, Dudley, West Midlands

Forgot to let you know I got the Macbook back last week and it all seems to be working fine. Thanks

17″ MacBook Pro repaired logic board Andrew, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear

I’m very happy, many thanks. Supplied refurbished MacBook Unibody Karen, Leicester, Leicestershire

My iMac developed a problem with coloured banding on the screen. Quickly discovered that it was the logic board coupled with the video card. Not only was that fixed very promptly but Keith cleaned up software which was not compatible and also installed an anti Malware program and removed Adware/Malware. Disabled an app which was hogging resources at boot up. Now I have a much sleeker operating system. Very highly recommended. Keith, Llangollen

Acer Aspire PC, yes we can get PCs reliably repaired too, broken cables internally from a previous bodge job. New cable fitted and internals cleaned up including solder work.

I had my iMac 27″ repaired at Appel and it was very professional but also very friendly and straight forward . Keith just took it with no quibbles and got it repaired in a very short time considering how bad it was. I nearly put it down to scrap it was that bad but as I said Keith fixed it no prob and its been running better than it ever did. I can’t recommend his repair service enough!!!
