What people are saying about Xtra-PC
“My daughter wanted a computer for herself. But I wasn’t about to spend $500 on a new one. I had an old Toshiba I hadn’t used in years, so I figured I’d give Xtra-PC a try. WOW – AMAZING!!! My old, slow Toshiba performs great again – it’s perfect for her. Your product saved me hundreds!”
Stephanie S. — West Covina, CA
“Being a tech-junky myself, I know all about Linux and could’ve spent time and money doing this myself. But for the price... you guys have put together a truly remarkable product that makes doing it myself a waste of time (and seem downright foolish). I wish I thought of this myself!”
Charlie D. — Billings, MT
The Xtra-PC story
“Small town inventor takes on tech giants with a device that’s saving people serious money”
Meet Mark Oman, the inventor and founder of Xtra-PC
Millions of computers (and people’s hard-earned money) are thrown out every year, usually due to simple problems that can be easily fixed. Mark couldn’t stand the thought of that and wanted to do something about it.
Using his background in technology, Mark set off with his son Adam on a mission to come up with a way to help people get more life out of their outdated or broken computers.
What they came up with is Xtra-PC.
- 50 million metric tons of electronics waste (e-waste) are disposed worldwide every year.
- E-waste represents 2% of America's trash in landfills, but it equals 70% of overall toxic waste.
- Only 12.5% of e-waste is currently recycled.
- Don’t trash your old computer — make it useful again!
