I'm really pleased with this MacBook Air. It was advertised as refurbished in excellent condition, and it arrived exactly as described. Cosmetically, it looks fantastic with no visible wear. It genuinely looks brand new. The battery health is 95%, which exceeded my expectations for a refurbished device and gives me confidence it has plenty of life left. Performance has been excellent too and the M1 chip is fast and responsive for everyday tasks. I'd happily recommend it to anyone considering a refurbished MacBook.

I’m honestly really happy with my purchase. I ordered a MacBook Air (M1) in “excellent” condition and I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially at this price, but I was pleasantly surprised. The laptop arrived quickly, was clean, and looks practically brand new. There are no visible scratches or signs of wear at all. The biggest bonus for me was the battery health — it’s at 100%, which I definitely wasn’t expecting from a refurbished device. It runs smoothly, and everything works exactly as it should. I also appreciated how easy the setup was. It felt like setting up a new laptop, just without the original Apple packaging. Overall, I feel like I got amazing value for money. I was initially hesitant, but this experience has definitely changed my perspective on buying refurbished tech. Would 100% recommend.

This MacBook Air is like new, there are no visible marks and battery condition is still at the highest level. Super pleased with it. Also amazed that it shipped on a Sunday afternoon when I placed the order and I had it 24 hours later.

Love my refurbished MacBook Air. The speed that it was delivered and the high quality of the computer turned an sh*tty situation (two awful people, seen on CCTV, stole my bag with my laptop in it) into a much better one. The price was great too, If I ever have something stolen from me again, which I hope doesn't happen or I'm looking to upgrade an existing device I'll look at BackMarket (good pun btw) again.

Received my Apple MacBook Air today (M1, 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD) and am absolutely delighted with my purchase. I required a laptop or system to setup a home music studio (I'm a songwriter) and researched this for some time. I also researched outlets to purchase refurbished units and backmarket seemed to be the place to deal with. The price was great, the item is in such good condition you couldn't distinguish it from new, and it runs great. I'm just having to wait to setup my apple ID as I spoke to apple and they have some issues right now. But other than that, so happy with this thing I can't put it down and within the next 2 months or so I will have purchased all of the required items on a rather large list. Any time I require a similar item, I will be using backmarket and I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends or colleagues. Superb products, superb service and the way they deal with customers makes you feel valued and rather like your part of some elite club lol. Thankyou guys - the first song I get published by a known artist I will contact you with details and I will note how you made it possible. Kind regards JT

Really happy with the MacBook Air, condition like new and all working well and as expected. would thoroughly recommend using Back Market . my only issue was that the plug provided was not a UK 3 pin so they provided an adapter which was a really poor fit to the plug and could be easily wiggled about. so I had to buy a UK adapter plug for peace of mind.

Why Buy a Refurbished MacBook Air?

A refurbished MacBook Air gets you a lightweight, premium laptop at a fraction of the new price. You can save up to 50% compared to Apple's retail pricing, which means more money for, well, anything else. Not sure if the Air is right for you? Check out our MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro comparison.

Every MacBook Air we sell is tested by experts to make sure everything works properly. The battery is checked, the display is inspected, and the whole device is cleaned up and ready to go. You get a 1-year warranty included, so you're covered if anything goes wrong.

Choosing refurbished keeps a perfectly good laptop out of landfill and reduces demand for new manufacturing. A single refurbished MacBook saves ~85-110kg of CO2 emissions compared to buying new, the equivalent of driving 500 miles. One less device manufactured means fewer materials mined, less energy used, and a smaller carbon footprint. It's the smarter choice for your wallet and the planet.

Which MacBook Air Model is Right for You?

Choosing between M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 can feel overwhelming. Our how to choose a MacBook Air guide breaks down the differences in detail, but here's a quick overview:

MacBook Air M1

The MacBook Air M1 has an 8-core CPU and handles everyday tasks like web browsing, email, and document editing without breaking a sweat. It's perfect for students, remote workers, or anyone who wants a reliable laptop that just works. Battery life stretches up to 18 hours, so you can leave the charger at home.

MacBook Air M2

The MacBook Air M2 brings enhanced performance for creatives and multitaskers. The upgraded processor handles photo editing, video calls, and multiple browser tabs simultaneously. The redesigned chassis is even slimmer, and the Liquid Retina display delivers sharper colours. If you need more power without stepping up to a Pro, the M2 is your sweet spot.

MacBook Air M3

The MacBook Air M3 delivers exceptional performance with superior graphics and efficiency. It's built for demanding work like 4K video editing, coding, and running multiple creative apps at once. The M3's efficiency also means better battery life, even when you're pushing it hard. This is a great choice if you want powerful tech at a refurbished price.

MacBook Air M4

The MacBook Air M4 delivers powerful, next-generation performance with AI-enhanced capabilities and pro-level processing. It's designed for users who need serious speed and efficiency for high-resolution content editing or intensive software. The M4 chip handles it all while maintaining excellent battery life. You get advanced Apple silicon at a much lower cost by choosing refurbished. Read our MacBook Air M4 review for the full breakdown.

MacBook Air M5

The MacBook Air M5 is Apple's latest model, featuring cutting-edge AI capabilities and the most efficient Apple silicon yet. It's built for users who want the newest technology with enhanced performance for demanding creative work, development, and future-proofing. The M5 chip offers the best performance-per-watt ratio in the MacBook Air lineup. Available refurbished at significant savings over new.

What Makes Our Refurbished MacBook Airs Different?

Every refurbished MacBook Air we sell is graded by condition: Premium, Excellent, Good, or Fair. Premium looks and functions like new with original parts and at least 90% battery health. Excellent looks nearly new. Good has minor signs of use. Fair works perfectly but has visible cosmetic marks. All four grades function identically, so you can choose based on your budget and how much you care about scratches. Want to know more? Our refurbished MacBook guide covers everything about buying refurbished.

Each laptop is tested and certified by professional refurbishers. They check the battery health, screen quality, keyboard, trackpad, ports, and internals. If something's not right, it gets replaced. You receive a 1-year warranty covering hardware faults, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee if you change your mind.

We also offer free delivery across the UK. Your MacBook Air arrives ready to use, with a compatible charging cable included. No hidden fees, no surprises, just a great laptop at a great price.
