Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.
Know our brand? Leave an honest review, send us a screenshot, and pick a free gift — shipped free of charge within 1–2 business days.
Pay the courier with no extra fees.

Apple MacBook Air M5 13.6" (34.5 cm) in Silver is a clamshell laptop built around the Apple M5 system-on-chip, a 13.6-inch Retina display at 2560 x 1664 resolution, 16 GB of unified memory and a 1 TB solid-state drive. The machine runs macOS Tahoe and integrates an Apple GPU, offering a lightweight and portable design (1.23 kg) for everyday productivity, multimedia playback, software development and mobile work.

Advantages

The Apple M5 processor delivers high single- and multi-core performance with efficient power consumption, enabling responsive multitasking and fast application launch times. The high-resolution Retina display provides sharp text and accurate colors for editing, reading and creative tasks. Unified memory architecture and a 1 TB SSD enable fast file access and smooth operation with large projects. Built-in wireless technologies and continuity with other Apple devices simplify file transfer and device handoff.

Suitable for

  • Everyday office productivity (documents, spreadsheets, email)
  • Multimedia consumption and light content creation (photo editing, video playback)
  • Software development, coding and web development
  • Mobile work and frequent travel due to low weight and long battery life
  • Students and professionals needing a compact macOS laptop

Key specifications

  • Display: 13.6" (34.5 cm) Retina, 2560 x 1664 pixels
  • Processor: Apple M5 (10 cores)
  • Memory: 16 GB unified memory
  • Storage: 1 TB SSD
  • Graphics: Integrated Apple GPU (10 cores)
  • Wireless: Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be), Bluetooth 6.0

How to use

Unbox the MacBook Air and connect the included power adapter to charge the battery before first use. Configure macOS Tahoe by following the on-screen setup assistant to sign in with your Apple ID, enable Wi‑Fi and set up iCloud and Continuity features if you use other Apple devices. Use the System Settings app to adjust display brightness, trackpad gestures and energy settings to balance performance and battery life. Install applications from the Mac App Store or approved developers and migrate files using Migration Assistant or iCloud Drive.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep macOS Tahoe and installed apps up to date, maintain at least 10–20% free SSD space for swap and temporary files, and enable automatic backups with Time Machine or iCloud. When traveling, use the low‑power settings for extended battery life and close unused apps to reduce background activity.
