This is the 2nd laptop I've purchased…

This is the 2nd laptop I've purchased from ACT. I bought the first laptop for my son to use at high school as his Lenovo died (garbage brand. Avoid like the plague). The DELL has been superb. It's robust, quick, and has heaps of space. I now have a similar laptop for my daughter-who also begins high school soon. 5 stars.

Best purchase ever.

After buying my refurbished laptop from ACT I don't know why anyone would buy a new laptop. To look at it you would think it was brand new and the performance can't be matched. Best thing I did was to buy from ACT. Highly recommend.

Excellent Customer Service

I purchased a 'B' grade laptop expecting it to be used but usable. However, I soon discovered that various keyboard keys were either not working or needing a vigorous press to register.
I sent an email to ACT and received a quick response to negotiate repair. I elected to fit a serviceable keyboard myself and the part arrived the next day.
I now have a working laptop that does everything required of it.
Customer service was excellent and the only reason the company missed five stars was the inadvertent oversight of a unserviceable keyboard before sale.
I will be checking out ACT for my next purchase.

When you're onto a good thing stick to it!!!

When you're onto a good thing stick to it!
This is the second laptop I've purchased through ACT and I finally got one that I'm really happy with. I'm really enjoying some of the cool features it has compared to the first one that I got which I'm now passing onto my sister. I'm lovin the HPZBook and the staff who assisted me with my queries this time around, when I was looking online and rung up for some help, was great. You can never tell it's a refurbished laptop. It works great and does what I need it to do. Programs are upgrading and updating all the time so this is the only thing I now have to get use to. Lucky I'm a Geeky Girl so it won't take long. Thanks ACT - glad I was recommended to you and I won't think twice in recommending you to others.
Thanks for your prompt and efficient service in sending the goods when ordered.

An excellent price

On Friday 13th September 2024 I purchased 2 Western Digital WD5000AAKX 500GB SATA 6.0GB/s 3.5" Internal Hard Disk Drive for $38 ($19 each) so I could use it in the Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF and my Mum can use it in hers. It came on Wednesday 18th September 2024 so I was very impressed with the fast delivery.

refurbished Lenovo 12.5 laptop

Laptop was as described and is working perfectly so far. I've moved everything from the old to the new and downloaded Microsoft 365. My only issue was the wrong power cord was sent with the laptop. ACT were pleasant to deal with and after my sending a few photos agreed to replace the connection. It took about a fortnight for it to arrive so I could not use the laptop during this period. I thought this could have been quicker.

a small problem instantly rectified...

The item upon receival was found to be not totally clean of information. ACT organised a return to them, rectified and the item was expediently sent back with all issues resolved. Could not be happier with the service offered.

Value and quality

This is the second computer I have purchased from ACT and both are high quality and fast machines at a fraction of the cost of a new computer, I highly recommend buying from ACT
