Saw a shop in Cleveland still charging $150 for a Windows reinstall

Walked past a local repair place yesterday and their price list was on the window. One side says it's a fair price for labor and a clean OS load. The other says it's a ripoff when you can buy a new SSD for less and do it yourself in an hour. What's the actual value of that service these days?

But what if someone's too scared to open their own laptop?

Come on, it's a laptop, not a bomb. If you're honestly too scared to open it, maybe you shouldn't own one. That level of fear isn't normal for basic stuff. People need to try things before deciding they can't do it. It's just a hinge and a screen.

My gym charges $80 just to show someone how to use a treadmill.
