What are refurbished computers and laptops?
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.
Benefits of buying a refurbished computer or laptop
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.

What to expect when buying a refurbished computer or laptop?
If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your computer or laptop may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your computer or laptop and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the store.
You should also be confident that your computer or laptop is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.
