We supply the best setup Apple Mac

equipment in Melbourne, new or reconditioned

 

Unique Design Systems has sold Apple Mac products since 1997 but we are best know for helping mac users or companies with repairs and onsite technical support, specialising in Pro setups. UDS has been customising the Mac for many years, even before OS X, as there are several things that are not setup by Apple out of the box, some for licensing issues, but you will be happy we did. Having been an Apple Authorised Reseller for over 18 years unlit Apple stipulated to retain this status we had to have a retail shop, which we could afford for 4 years while we had a business partner. So we have reverted back to an office/workshop that you can still bring your Macs too but you need to make an Appointment first, thank you. 

 

UDS supplies NEW and reconditioned Macs, Apple Mac spare parts and upgrades that can provide the most competitive way to fix or keep your older Mac running faster. Contact us for new mac sales or to discuss a reconditioned Mac or how to make your current mac like new!!
 
Taking your Mac to a shopping centre or department store, like an Apple Store, is not only an inconvience but also a waste of time as Apple DO NOT REPAIR motherboards, they call them vintage. Out of warranty repairs are usually twice the cost of what we charge. $$$
 
Before you make your mac purchase call us to get qualified advise or request an onsite/online/Bring to Us visit.  Easy Parking !!!!
 
We install and maintain Mac studios or labs of 30+ iMacs including servers. We currently look after a number of Mac Studios and are constantly finding solutions to improve your computer use.
