Practical guides and straight answers from the CoreLink team.
The 3-2-1 rule means: 3 copies of your data, on 2 different types of storage, with 1 copy off-site — so no single failure leaves you without data.

READ MORE →Ransomware is malicious software that locks your files and demands payment to restore them — the best protection is up-to-date backup that isn't accessible from the same computer.
READ MORE →It can be worth it for basic needs on a limited budget, but only from a reputable source with a warranty — otherwise the risk of failure can cancel out the savings.
READ MORE →A laptop fits if you need flexibility/mobility; a desktop gives better performance for the same price if work always happens from the same office.
READ MORE →For typical office work (email, browser, Office), 16GB RAM and an SSD cover you comfortably; for more demanding tasks (design, video) you need a stronger processor and more RAM.
READ MORE →For customers with active coverage, connection usually happens within minutes of reporting the issue — far faster than waiting for an on-site visit.
READ MORE →Anything software-related (settings, installs, viruses, network) is usually fixed remotely; physical hardware problems (broken screen, keyboard) need an on-site visit.
READ MORE →A technician connects to your computer through encrypted software, only with your explicit approval for each session — you can end the connection whenever you want.
READ MORE →macOS has strong built-in protection, but it's not invulnerable — for business use handling sensitive data, an extra layer of protection is still a sensible choice.
READ MORE →macOS has a built-in tool ("About This Mac" → Storage → Manage) that shows exactly what's taking up space and suggests automatic cleanup — usually the first step before buying a new device.
READ MORE →The most common causes are too many open browser tabs, background apps, or simply a battery that's naturally worn down after years of use — all checkable in your settings.
