Switching to Refurbished Gadgets & Making Them Last - Colin Baker

Colin Baker is a tech specialist who often frequents morning TV shows giving gadget advice, but I found him when I went into his shop Back From The Future in need of a refurbished laptop. The advice he had on keeping my laptop in good condition made me think he'd be a good guest on the podcast! You can pop into one of his shops in Dublin, check out his website, or stay up to date with him on Instagram @gadgetguycolin.
