Total Tech Support When You Need Help

Post-holiday support for your tech gifts

If you love tech as much as I do, but don't consider yourself a computer whiz, you are not alone. Like many consumers, there are plenty of us (present company included) who enjoy the benefits of using tech products every day, but just aren't that confident when it comes to setting up, installing, maintaining, or repairing all our smart gear. That's where the Geek Squad at Best Buy and their Total Tech Support services can help you and me to set up and start enjoying those tech holiday gifts that are so central to the connected lifestyles we live.

What is Best Buy Total Tech Support?

Total Tech Support from Best Buy is a membership service focused on supporting all the tech products in your home whenever they were bought and whether they were purchased at Best Buy or anywhere else.

There are many in-home services to take advantage of affordably priced at $49.99. They also offer 20% repair savings and Geek Squad Protection and AppleCare Products protection plans. The best part is that support is there when you need it, easy to use, and is available in-store during regular operating hours as well as 24/7 via phone or online chat.

IT Support on Demand When You Need It

As a self-employed business owner working at home, I don't have the luxury of having an IT expert on site to troubleshoot for me when my computer crashes or deal with technical difficulties that are beyond what I'm able to understand or fix myself. So it's reassuring to know that a host of computing tech support services are available which I can tap into so I can focus instead on meeting my constant deadlines.

Just imagine. It's like having a virtual tech support person on staff whenever you need help with things such as basic data transfer, data backup, computer setup, computer tune up, and virus removal. A one year internet security software subscription is also part of this comprehensive Total Tech Support membership package.

This is also great for every day modern family living. I just bought my first DSLR camera at Best Buy and could really use some assistance with it. There are also many other ways Total Tech Support can support you with everything from home Wi-Fi or voice assistant setup to installation of your new big screen television and so much more -- all services just $49.99 each with Total Tech Support membership.

Total Tech Support For the Way You Live

• 24/7 tech support no matter when/where products were purchased
• In-home services are just $49.99
• Savings of 20% on Geek Squad Protection and AppleCare Products

CES Unveiled 2019 New Consumer Tech

Family Friendly Tech Well Represented This Year

Having been to dozens of CES and its predecessor conferences since the early 1980s, I'm really missing covering CES 2019 in Las Vegas as an influencer IRL this year because of a schedule conflict. However, I'm glad to still reporting major happenings from the show remotely. That way, those of you who are as crazy about cutting edge consumer electronics as I am, won't miss any of this year's conference excitement. 

Check out all the cool gadgets and technologies which were shown at the press only CES Unveiled 2019 preview event last night attended by more than 1,500 media pros. There's definitely a huge deluge of buzz about what's new already!

Then, stay tuned as MBE continues to bring you the latest thrilling news and emerging trends January 8-11 from the world's largest consumer tech conference: CES 2019. We'll have updates for you from show floor exhibitors and from the daily media press conferences. I also hope to be sharing news bits from some of my fellow tech influencers who are in Las Vegas now, covering the show.

I really wish I was in town now, not only to geek out and hang with some of my good friends who I usually only get to see a few times per year. I also miss watching the Bellagio Dancing Fountains, a beautiful continuous outdoor water dance show set to music and light every night at The Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Watch this short video I shot a few years back during the conference to see how pretty this is.
