So what is the general consensus about this company ? unfortunately there aren't many reviews online, however his prices are really good.
 
I have and I think he is legitimate, this thread wasn't handled well but that's not my concern. Still I'm skeptical
 
I have previously enquired with the company about a laptop, to which the seller told me he has last one available. I was skeptical to buy at the time for a lot of reasons stated here, but made contact with the company again at a later stage and was informed the unit has been sold and no new stock is coming in the near future, suggesting a similar alternative... Just thinking, if he wasn't legit why would he need to reject a potential buyer, especially with EFT payment option.

I think he is legit, the business at least. Not only with this company, but I wonder how many people inspect the product they buy. Laptops you'll have to open it up and see what is inside. Also check warranty. I don't buy any computer product with less than 3 years warranty.
If you are gonna buy a 30K notebook and you only get 1 warranty, you are being screwed in my opinion. If it is the brand that only give 1 year warranty then I will avoid them. I think with Dell you can extend warranty to 3 years.

Correct. With HP you can do the same as well. A laptop without a 3 year warranty is a bad purchase.

Sometimes you can have problems with extensions if the laptop was via an unofficial channel - not saying you can’t extend but the extension would have to be done in the market/region it was originally sold.
 
I looked at them because a friend had bought some Office 365/Win10 keys from him at approcimately 20% of the price - I've seen a few offers like that - not sure how they swing it but the keys seem to work. As far as the laptops go I'm not sure - seems quite cheap but no feedback on that side.

You can buy Windows 10 OEM Keys for R500 and less.
 
I've seen that - don't know how it works because an OEM DVD is aver 2k and the MS price is more for the retail version.
 
Well I need a new office so will try it next week and give feedback if it works.

I like FlashGear, most of his hardware is great, got a really cheap 1TB 850 Evo from him, but rather go for e.g.
https://carbonite.co.za/index.php?threads/r299-each-windows-10-pro-license-keys-x-25.196471/page-14
or
https://carbonite.co.za/index.php?threads/100x-microsoft-windows-10-pro-keys.173043/
as they're less than half the price and, based on the rating, they are trustworthy.
Do note again, these are OEM keys, if you change your hardware or completely fresh install instead of the W10 reset option, there's a good chance the key is gone. OEM keys give no support.
