Verified purchaseWoooo - I LOVE Backmarket! New Dell Inspiron worked out of the box - loaded with Windows 11 - seamless - the order arrived almost immediately - and for £250 it’s a great laptop for personal use - emails, net surfing and streaming videos😹😹👍🎉🎉 And for a device in fair condition it looks great / screen and keyboard are mint - one tiny flaw on outer case but for the price it’s what’s inside that counts and that’s guaranteed refurbished and that’s working just fine😹

Verified purchaseA Fantastic Find: My Experience with a Refurbished MacBook Pro from BackMarket I recently purchased a refurbished MacBook Pro, and I must say, I am absolutely thrilled with my decision! As someone who is always looking for value without compromising on quality, this refurbished model has exceeded all my expectations. From the moment it arrived, the laptop looked and felt brand new. There was very slight signs of use on the casing but the screen & keyboard are immaculate. The packaging was secure, ensuring it arrived in perfect condition. Performance-wise, this laptop is a powerhouse. It boots up incredibly fast, handles multiple applications simultaneously without a hitch, and runs all my essential software smoothly. Whether I'm working on demanding tasks, streaming high-definition content, or just browsing the web, the responsiveness is impressive. It's clear that the refurbishment process involved thorough testing and quality control. One of the biggest advantages, of course, is the cost savings. I was able to get a high-spec laptop that would have been significantly more expensive brand new, all while contributing to a more sustainable consumption model. It's always a a win-win ...

Verified purchaseMy Honest Review of My Recent Order from Back Market I recently placed an order through Back Market and wanted to share my experience with anyone considering buying refurbished tech from them. I ordered a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inches (2018) and was pleasantly surprised overall. The device arrived earlier than expected and was well-packaged, with no signs of damage during shipping. In terms of condition, I chose the Good option as there was a deal, and I’d say it lived up to expectations. I didn’t find any scratches or dents. Functionally, the device worked right out of the box. I ran a few tests, and everything from the battery health to the screen responsiveness and camera seemed solid. I really appreciated the eco-conscious approach and the fact that I saved a good amount compared to buying the same brand-new device. It also came with a 12-month warranty, which gave me peace of mind. That said, the device is heating up very quickly, and I am unsure if that’s supposed to happen. The heat reaches a point where keeping the device on my lap is unbearable. I reached out to BM and followed recommendations which was helpful. Final Verdict: I’d consider using Back Market again. I...

Verified purchaseOooo-wee, but I *l*o*v*e* this machine. Bought it because it cost less than the MacBook Air I was first looking at. To start with, not only did it arrive early and fully charged, it's in mint condition, despite my buying "fair". Absolutely stunning and works like a dream. Kudos to the refurbisher who has done a BRILLIANT job. As for the MacBook Pro itself, I don't know why the touch bar gets a bad press, I find it unobtrusive and most helpful when I need it. My best purchase from Back Market so far and thrilled with it, thank you.

Refurbished computers and laptops are second hand devices that have been restored to their original condition and performance by professionals. At Back Market, we handpick each and every one of the sellers on our platform to make sure you're getting the best refurbished devices available. The refurbishment process typically involves rigorous testing, cleaning, and repairs, so that the laptop meets the same standards as a brand new device. So when you buy refurbished you're basically getting a new laptop at a discounted price.
At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished computer or laptop models. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand computer or laptop compared to a refurbished one.
Buying a reconditioned computer or laptop is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished computer or laptop is often a second hand device that has been restored and updated to meet manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old computer or laptops out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.
