The products were a good and delivery was timely. When I had an issue with one my monitors, it was very easy to arrange a replacement and return the unwanted item. Customer service was excellent and the replacement item was quickly dispatched. Very happy with the experience overall.

We have been customers of ACT for years - the team instore at Woolloongabba are always super helpful and when we've collected from Murrarie again, very friendly and efficient. We have bought many Macs and have never had a problem with them. Recommended.

The choice of laptops was awesome

The choice of laptops was wide enabling me to select precisely the configuration and power I required. Placing the order was simple and delivery followed shortly afterwards, requiring the reassuring signature on receipt. Tip top condition - all configured and ready to rock & roll.

Good not great this time.

Overall, it was good. Grade A item but battery is below 80%, so not great this time. CS is polite and helpful as I needed a correct charger to be sent to me, as the included one initially was underspec'd.
