    Brilliant update for daughter’s MacBook Pro.

    Posted by Charles Teton on 10th Jan 2023

    Brilliant update for daughter’s MacBook Pro. Apple SSD died, got next day and with help from support all went well. Has OS installed already so just entered her ID and all her files transferred from the Cloud. Will buy from again. Thanks, C

    Flexx LX300 upgrade

    Posted by Martin Whiteman on 14th Sep 2021

    I purchase Flexx's LX300 SSD to upgrade the storage in my 2015 15" Macbook Pro from 500Gb to 1Tb. The SSD came very well packaged with all the tools needed. Removal of the old SSD and installation of the new one was very simple and took around 15 minutes. The new SSD performs exactly the same as the original Apple one, but with double the space.
