Eurocom "Tune Up" program will make your laptop feel like new again regardless of brand

According to Intel, the average (non-gamer) consumer will purchase a new PC every 5 or 6 years. It's common for aging computers to feel slower over time due to a number of factors including an increase in installed applications, background activity, outdated security patches, or clogged up fans. Eurocom wants to address this by offering owners the option to send in laptops for a quick fix and tuning up.

Called the Eurocom Tune Up program, the reseller will accept any working laptop for cleaning, updating, scanning, and more depending on the service level requested. Eurocom will even reapply thermal paste for the CPU and GPU and oil the hinges if needed. The concept is analogous to a car tune-up where owners would bring in their vehicles to an auto shop for regular checkups.

The program should be especially useful for laptop owners who may not have the time or knowledge to efficiently update every piece of software, scan for potential malware, or clean the fans and heat sink. Interestingly enough, the program will likely appeal more to casual or mainstream PC users instead of the professionals or enthusiast gamers that Eurocom products tend to attract.
