KNOW WHAT TECH TO GET

Joyce Mayne can help you pick the right gadget this festive season

-

Everywhere we look these days, computers are sure to be playing a vital part in pretty much every aspect of our daily lives.

From communicat­ion to security, from work to entertainm­ent, the list of incredible electronic devices on the market is virtually endless.

That’s why Joyce Mayne Computers proprietor Morgan Page is the man to see when looking to demystify this confusing high-tech world.

“These days, computers, laptops and tablets are part of most children’s school accessorie­s, but the entire Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) concept can prove a big expense for families,” Morgan said.

“That’s why we work closely with teachers and reps to provide the best education systems to suit their particular requiremen­ts.

“We can recommend the right device, because we know the products required by the schools and the best accessorie­s to complement them.”

As well as tablets being a popular choice for Christmas, Morgan said the iPhone X was going to create quite a stir.

“As the latest release from Apple you can rest assured there is going to be a lot of excitement in the market place around it. We’ve secured a number of unit but we know, without doubt, that they won’t be in store for long.”

If you’re looking for gift ideas, Morgan says there is a fantastic variety of cameras, Bluetooth speakers (at a great price), drones and fitness devices to suit every age group, not to mention practical presents like GPS devices and crash cams.

“In this day and age, home security is more important than ever before and we have the latest options available including wire-free systems that don’t need to be installed by an electricia­n. And products like the Ring system allows you to check your front door from your phone.

“In the same vein, baby and pet monitors are becoming more and more sophistica­ted — giving better picture and sound quality at very competitiv­e prices.

Virtual Reality systems are also creating a big buzz in the computer realm and Joyce Mayne has an impressive variety to choose from.

“We’re seeing a big demand for these units because they’ve got good specs and an amazing 1400 resolution – they’re going to be very popular for Christmas,” Morgan said.

And, with phones and camera going non-stop over the holiday season, Morgan is quick to remind customers that another new addition to the store is the comprehens­ive photo lab — offering quality prints at competitiv­e prices.

“We have plenty of kiosks to download and print your photos and are regularly having specials, so capturing your Christmas memories has never been easier”

With plenty of parking right outside the door, Morgan said he and the team were looking forward to helping customers make this Christmas one to remember.
