Computers & Electronics

Some of the help offered is free and some you pay for – but a Google Wallet account is all you need for safe and easy payments.
And if you don’t like the experience, Google offers a money back guarantee.

Most of the helpouts in this category are free – and the time they are available is clearly visible on the screen.
