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.

This configuration targets everyday productivity, multitasking, creative workflows and mobile professional use that require efficient processing and long battery life.

The M5 system-on-chip delivers improved CPU and GPU performance compared with previous entry-level models while the 16‑core Neural Engine accelerates machine learning tasks.

  • Multitasking with multiple apps and browser tabs
  • Photo editing, light video editing and content creation workflows
  • Remote work and mobile professionals who need a compact, long‑lasting laptop
  • Students and creators requiring a balance of performance and portability

How to use

Set up the MacBook Air by following the on‑screen macOS setup assistant to create or sign in with an Apple ID, configure network and privacy settings, and enable iCloud if desired. Use the Finder and Launchpad to access applications and the System Settings app to adjust display, battery and keyboard preferences. For transferring files, use AirDrop, iCloud Drive or an external drive. Regularly install macOS updates via Software Update to keep system security and performance current. Connect accessories such as external displays, storage or audio devices using the available ports and supported adapters.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep available storage above 10–15% of total SSD capacity, enable automatic macOS updates, and close unused applications when running heavy tasks. Use the built‑in battery health management features and charge with the included 30W charger or a compatible USB‑C power adapter. For sustained video editing or prolonged heavy workloads, consider lowering background processes and using external cooling solutions if necessary.
