The right tool for the right job. Without unnecessary costs.
Every business owner has at some point bought a laptop because the salesperson said it was a good one. Or purchased software that nobody ends up using. At Menten IT you receive independent advice no preferred supplier and no hidden agenda.
We provide independent IT advice to businesses in Willebroek, Mechelen, Boom, Puurs, Lier, Antwerp and the surrounding area.
Does this sound familiar?
Three short scenarios that occur at almost every SME.
The expensive laptop that does too much
Your accountant has a laptop worth €1,800 that they use for Excel and email. Half the specs are never used. You overpaid by €800.
The cheap laptop that does too little
Your graphic designer works on an entry-level model that freezes with every large file. Lost time every day, frustration and ultimately a costly replacement.
Software nobody uses
You pay monthly for tools your employees have not opened for months. Nobody has ever taken the time to evaluate what is actually needed.
Menten IT helps you make the right choices before you buy.
What we do for you
Independent, tailored advice.
Tailored hardware advice
We map out what every employee does on a daily basis and which hardware suits that. You pay for what is needed, not for what looks impressive.
Laptops and desktops
Which brand, which processor, how much RAM we translate technical specs into understandable recommendations. Including comparison of models and prices.
Workspace setup and peripherals
A well-equipped workspace starts with the right layout. We advise on monitors, docking stations, keyboards and headsets that suit your way of working.
Second opinion on an IT quote
Have you received a quote from an IT supplier and are unsure whether it is fair? We review the quote critically and give you an honest picture: what is realistically priced, what is missing and where the pitfalls are.
Which laptop for which role?
A simple guideline per profile.
| Profile | What is needed | What is not needed |
|---|---|---|
| Administration & accounting | Good SSD, 16GB RAM, long battery life | Powerful GPU, gaming specs |
| Field service & sales | Light and compact, robust, 4G option | Large screen, powerful processor |
| Graphic & creative | Powerful GPU, colour-accurate screen, 32GB RAM | Compactness, long battery |
| Business owner & management | Reliable, fast, good security | Maximum specs |
| Reception & front desk | Fixed desktop or all-in-one, large screen | Mobility |
| Technical & IT | Powerful processor, plenty of RAM, SSD | Few exceptions |
This is a general guideline. During the advice session we look at your specific situation.
How an advice process works
Step by step, without obligations.
1-hour consultation
We ask questions about your team, your way of working and your budget. Who does what? What problems are you experiencing now? What do you want to avoid?
Concrete advice on paper
We draw up an overview of your current situation and concrete advice with recommended devices, specifications and price ranges. Including a comparison of at least two options per profile.
Without obligation
We go through the report together. You ask questions, we explain. No obligation to buy or do anything.
Optional, hourly rate only
Would you like us to assist with the purchase or configure the devices? That is possible. You only pay the hourly rate for configuration and guidance.
Buying the right hardware starts with asking the right questions.
We help you ask those questions before you make a decision, not after. Free introductory meeting of 1 hour, without obligations.
