New Computers
New notebooks, all-in-one desktops and gaming or professional desktops
Please call Island Computers to discuss your options for purchasing a new desktop computer. Notebooks come in various shapes and sizes, as do desktops. All-in-one desktops have become more common and their build quality is excellent, as is their price - most of the time.

New Computer Buyer's Guide
Computers have worse depreciation than cars. It's a heated race to be the best and products sometimes become superseded in less than a year so knowing what to choose is very important.
Solid State Drives (NVMe or SSD). The Windows boot times for an NVMe drive are amazing and can be as little as 2 seconds! They are truly awesome!! NVME SSDs are even faster than a SATA SSD and are the number one recommendation for your OS install drive.
Custom Desktops and Gaming Computers
Custom built desktops are built through our partner provider Scorptec Computers and are available upon request, especially for gaming, professional photography, video editing and graphic design.Please refer to my buyers guide on my Facebook business page as I update this regularly. Linked below.

New Notebooks / Laptops
We make it no secret that we recommend purchasing new notebooks, aka laptops, from Harvey Norman, JB Hi-fi, The Good Guys, Officeworks or anyone else that has the best offer right now.
Island Computers can purchase computers for customers, however it is always recommended that the customer purchase their own computer so the purchase is made on their credit card and the warranty will then be in their name.
Complications can arise if a warranty is required for hardware when it is not in the owner's name, especially when the customer requests Isl;and Computers manage the warranty return or repair.
Island Computers is a registered reseller for Scorptec Computers
Scorptec Computers have a long and illustrious history of building custom desktops for the Australian market. Their dedication to superior builds is unmatched, in our opinion, and the ability for them to swap out parts, if necessary, prior to shipping the computer to us or the customer cannot be understated.

We have also found their warranty practises to be unmatched so there's peace of mind to be found here too.
Second-hand / refurbished computers.
Island Computers do not sell or loan out second-hand (refurbished) computers. Yes we do get some computers that can potentially be refurbished but we are never willing to sell them to a customer if we don't think they will last very long or something else is likely to fail in said machine. Island Computers would never do anything dishonest such as selling second-hand computers that should have been sent to e-waste.
