September 2024. 5-* Random Lake did what I needed, at a fair price.
My PC laptop was running extremely slow, about 50 seconds to open a web page. I closed all programs, the scores of open windows and tabs, ran Disk Cleanup, CCleaner Pro, Bitdefender Optimize, and in Safe Mode re-ran those, plus Tweaking.com. I also ran the Lenovo Vantage "fix it" scans. I deleted about 20GB of "stuff" and nothing improved. I ran 4 virus and malware scans, including Bitdefender the #1 rated AV, Malwarebytes the #1 malware program, and several others -- they found nothing.
I bought the computer at Costco 2+ years ago and tried the Conceirge service -- which was useless. Having had bad tech support twice from Not-so-good Buy, I Googled for computer repair Ozaukee County.
I called Peter, who said there could be a virus, a bad upgrade version of a program since it was a recent slowdown, or who knows what, but that my system running at 75-95% RAM should be in the 30-40% range.
I dropped off my computer, he had it 2 days, uninstalled some programs (with my permission) and reinstalled, ran scans, and did some adjustments.
The good news is that whatever Peter did -- IT WORKED!!! The windows in either Firefox, Edge, or Chrome that took 50 seconds to open, now pop open in 1 second. As I write this, the computer is at 85% RAM useage, but everything works FAST.
I will be taking my computer back to have Peter install 32GB of memory, and, I'm taking my friend's desktop that is running even slower than mine was. So, yes, I give Peter 5-* for what he did, and the...
Read moreAbsolutely fantastic service! I ran into an issue on a Sunday morning and left a message for Peter with the details of my issue. Later that morning Peter called me and had a genuine concern that my system be up and running as soon as possible so he had me bring my computer to him on Sunday for service. That's right he got me up and running by the end of the day, made some improvements to my system and gave me some additional suggestions on even further improving my systems performance.

Read moreI highly recommend and give five stars to Peter and RLPC! I heard about Peter on the Nextdoor app, so when our 12-year-old computer started to act up, I thought of him. He spent over 30 minutes on the phone with me listening to how we use the computer and answered all my questions in ways I could understand. We decided to have Peter build our computer. He emailed me daily to let me know the progress. I figured he would save us over $600 if we were to buy this computer from a big box store. Peter Batha is very knowledgeable and friendly. I very much appreciated the fact that he didn’t make me feel stupid because I’m not tech savvy. He spoke to me on my level and made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend...
