Best Buy
"Save time, save money"
If we need something on-site or don't have time to wait for shipping, there is almost always a Best Buy store nearby. Their prices are competitive, they offer a rewards program, and their return policy is the best we have found.
While online stores are great, some things just can't be judged from a photo. For items such as game controllers, mice, or keyboards I am willing to pay the little bit extra to try it out in person at Best Buy.
Crucial Technologies
"The Memory Experts"
If a computer is running slow, one of the first places we look is the installed memory. Crucial provides the tools we need to recommend the right memory for our customers every time.
With a 100% compatibility guaranty and a free system scanner that can identify what is already in your computer and the maximum RAM it can handle, Crucial is our choice for on-site memory recommendations.
Avira Antivir
"More than security"
Avira Antivir scores consistently as one of the best antivirus suites available in detection rates, heuristics, and system resource use. (Based on comparisons by AV-Comparatives and AntivirusWare independent reviews.)
For customers that would like a fast and lightweight antivirus product that doesn't skimp on security, Avira Antivir fits the bill. With a full line of software including antispam and firewall as well as a free basic edition, Avira Antivir has something for everyone.
Cisco Home Products / Linksys
