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.

The Apple MacBook Air M5 is a clamshell laptop with a 13.6" (34.5 cm) Retina display at 2560 × 1664 resolution, powered by the Apple M5 processor and an integrated Apple GPU.

The laptop is finished in beige and supports modern wireless connectivity suitable for mobile work and everyday productivity.

Advantages

The M5 system-on-chip delivers strong single‑threaded and multi‑threaded performance while keeping power consumption low, enabling responsive performance for common tasks and development workflows.

Suitable for

  • Everyday productivity: documents, email, spreadsheets and web browsing

  • Photo and video viewing, basic editing and media playback
  • Mobile work and remote meetings with long battery convenience

How to use

Power on the MacBook Air M5 using the built‑in power key and complete the initial macOS setup to sign in with your Apple ID and configure iCloud, Apple Intelligence and Continuity features. Use Finder and Spotlight to locate files and applications quickly. Connect to Wi‑Fi 7 networks for fast wireless data transfer and pair peripherals via Bluetooth. For software development, install Xcode or other development tools from the App Store or developer websites. When editing media, store active projects on the internal SSD for best performance and use external storage or cloud services for long‑term archiving.

Recommendations

To maintain optimal performance, keep macOS Tahoe and installed applications up to date, enable regular backups with Time Machine or iCloud Drive, and avoid running heavy sustained workloads on battery alone. For extended mobility, use energy‑efficient settings in System Settings and rely on Wi‑Fi for network tasks when possible. When performing intensive tasks like video export or large builds, consider temporary connection to power and an external drive to reduce wear on the internal SSD.
