Common questions
Can't I just search for a computer myself?
Absolutely. Our value is in applying real repair experience to compare performance, reliability, repair options, upgrade paths, and prices so you can make a better-informed decision.
Will the recommended computer last for years?
We prioritize models with good long-term value and serviceability where possible, but no brand or model is guaranteed to last a particular number of years.
Do you guarantee the lowest price?
No. We compare prices from reputable stores and share the best available prices we find when we research your request. Prices and availability may change.
Do I buy the computer from MZRIGS?
No. You purchase directly from the retailer you choose. The $20 is for personalized research and advice.
Do I pay when I submit the form?
No. Your request is free. If MZRIGS can help, we send you a Square payment link and begin the research after payment.
