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.

After initially ordering the exact same laptop from a third party seller on Amazon and having to return it because the camera wasn’t working, I decided to do a deeper dive into the refurbished electronics market. From all the research I did, it became clear that rather than buying refurbished devices from random third party Amazon sellers, Back Market seemed to have far better checks and systems in place specifically for refurbished products. I placed an order and it arrived on time. I’ve been using the laptop for a few days now and so far I haven’t found any issues. The only downside was the battery health sitting at 80%, but I suppose that comes with choosing a device rated as “Good”. Hopefully this one serves me as well as my previous 2016 MacBook Pro, which I bought used in 2019 and only just replaced in 2026. That laptop still works perfectly fine. I never had to replace or repair anything on it. The only real issue was that the processor had started struggling with the heavy creative apps I regularly use, and the fan would scream anytime I pushed it too hard. I’ll probably pass it on to my nephew. I’m hoping this new one gives me at least another five years without problems. The M1 chip is genuinely a huge upgrade. I honestly feel like I’ve been living under a rock. The seamless connection with my iPhone 15 Pro is incredible.

I am very pleased with this MacBook Pro M3! I purchased it from BackMarket, and honestly, it arrived in a condition that felt near enough to brand new. I was really impressed to find the battery had only 26 charge cycles, which is incredible for a refurbished device. It looks and functions perfectly! Definitely a 5-star experience.

I really like my MacBook Air. It looks new and is lightweight and works well. I’m glad I got a reconditioned one as it was affordable. I haven’t used it a lot yet but the battery seems fine. I’m happy with my purchase.

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

This is my first refurbished purchase and I can happily say I have 0 regrets. What is considered “fair” condition is leaps and bounds beyond what I expected. I did read reviews by condition ahead of purchase which gave me the confidence- the laptop is almost mint condition. No significant signs of wear; the shell has 1 tiny little dent which is not noticeable even with regular use. Screen is immaculate. Keyboard and pad too. Laptop is running super smooth, big upgrade for me with a not so huge price tag. Cannot fault it. The amount of bang for buck is insane. Highly recommend BackMarket. Will be using to get a new phone next month!!

I remember reading other reviews about refurbished macs last week and thinking these were lies and exaggerated. I got the final push from my brother and ordered it on the 12th of December at 12:53am . It was scheduled to come between the 16th - 17th. On the 13th of December by a phone call, to the DPD driver downstairs with my Macbook Pro. GUYS I PROMISE THIS IS NOT SPONSORED, I was impressed with everything, I had doubts that it was too good to be true but so far everything is perfect, the battery health is 98%. My wife was even more skeptical, but now she's looking at her HP probook differently. Honestly, I am never buying a new macbook or iPad Pro again if this is the quality to expect with excellent grade refurbs. The charger provider is a 100W USB-C replacement charger. I am having to restrain myself from buying the iPad Pro M4 2024 now. I am a graphic designer in training so I am so happy with the fact that I can afford these devices I need much easier.

Why Should I Choose a Refurbished MacBook?

A refurbished MacBook delivers the same performance as a new one, but costs significantly less. Here's what you get when you shop on Back Market UK.

Save up to 50% compared to new

A new MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) with M3 chip costs over £1,700. Refurbished models on Back Market start from around £925, depending on specs and condition. That's hundreds of pounds back in your account, with no compromise on performance.

12-month commercial warranty from the seller

Every Apple MacBook sold on Back Market comes with a minimum 12-month commercial warranty from the seller. This covers malfunctions and defects, giving you the same peace of mind you'd expect from new. The commercial warranty doesn't replace your statutory rights under UK consumer law, those still apply.

Professionally tested before it reaches you

Before a MacBook reaches you, it's passed a multi-point inspection. That includes battery health checks, screen testing, keyboard and trackpad functionality, ports, WiFi, Bluetooth, and macOS compatibility. If it doesn't meet our sellers' standards, it doesn't go on sale. What that means for you: you're getting a device that's been verified to work properly, not just wiped clean and relisted.

Better for the planet

Buying refurbished extends the life of a device that's already been made. Manufacturing a new MacBook requires mining rare earth metals, energy-intensive production, and global shipping. One refurbished MacBook avoids the carbon emissions and e-waste of producing a new one, helping reduce the environmental impact of tech consumption.

Which Refurbished MacBook Model Is Right for Me?

MacBook Air (M1, M2, M3, M4) — From £350
Light, portable, and perfect for students, everyday browsing, and light creative work. The MacBook Air M1 (2020) with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD is still an excellent buy if you want performance on a budget. The MacBook Air M2 (2022), MacBook Air M3 (2024), and MacBook Air M4 (2025) add more power and battery life, ideal if you need a bit more headroom.

MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, M2) — From £396
A step up in processing power, with better thermal management and longer battery life. The MacBook Pro 13-inch M1 (2020) and M2 (2022) models are solid middle ground if the Air feels too light but the 14-inch feels too large.

MacBook Pro 14-inch (M1 Pro/Max, M2 Pro/Max, M3 Pro/Max, M4 Pro/Max) — From £925
The workhorse. Built for video editing, music production, software development, and anything else that pushes a laptop hard. ProMotion display, better speakers, more ports. The MacBook Pro 14-inch M3 (2023) delivers pro-level performance without the 16-inch price tag.

MacBook Pro 16-inch (M1 Pro/Max, M2 Pro/Max, M3 Pro/Max, M4 Pro/Max) — From £1,240
The biggest screen, the longest battery life, the most thermal headroom. If your MacBook is your primary workstation and you rarely close the lid, the MacBook Pro 16-inch is the one.

What Should I Look for When Buying a Refurbished MacBook?

Battery health and cycle count

A battery's cycle count tells you how many full charge-discharge cycles it's been through. Apple rates MacBook batteries for around 1,000 cycles before capacity drops to 80%. What that means for you: a MacBook with 300 cycles still has roughly 70% of its battery lifespan ahead of it. Most refurbished models on Back Market have batteries well within healthy range, and sellers often replace batteries as part of the refurbishment process. Check the product listing for details.

Cosmetic condition grading

We use a transparent grading system so you know exactly what to expect:

Excellent: Minimal signs of use, nearly flawless
Very Good: Light wear, invisible at arm's length
Good: Moderate wear, fully functional
Fair: Visible scratches or dents, but doesn't affect performance

The grade affects the price, not the warranty. A Fair-condition MacBook Air M1 (2020) works just as well as an Excellent one, it just looks more lived-in. That's how you save more.

Commercial warranty coverage

All Apple MacBooks come with at least 12 months of commercial warranty from the seller. This covers defects and malfunctions. What that means for you: if your MacBook develops a fault, the seller will repair or replace it. Beyond that, UK consumer law gives you additional protection. If a product develops a fault within the first six months, it's presumed to have been there when you bought it, and the seller must fix or replace it.

Included accessories

Every refurbished MacBook includes a compatible charging cable. For environmental reasons, we don't always include a wall plug (most people already have several), but check the listing to confirm what's in the box.

macOS compatibility

Refurbished MacBooks run the latest macOS version supported by their hardware. Older models (pre-2018) may not support the very latest macOS, but they'll still run perfectly well on their supported version. What that means for you: a MacBook Pro 2017 can't run macOS Sonoma, but it runs High Sierra or Mojave flawlessly. If macOS version matters to you, check the specs before buying.

How Does Back Market Refurbish MacBooks?

Every MacBook sold on Back Market goes through a rigorous refurbishment process before it reaches you.

1. Multi-point inspection

Every MacBook is tested across multiple individual checks. That includes booting, battery diagnostics, screen calibration, keyboard response, trackpad accuracy, port functionality, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, camera, microphone, and speakers. What that means for you: the MacBook you receive has been verified to work properly in every key area.

2. Component testing and replacement

If a component doesn't meet spec, it's replaced. Common replacements include batteries, SSDs, and occasionally displays. Every replacement part is high-quality and compatible with the original design.

3. Professional cleaning

MacBooks are cleaned inside and out. Dust and debris are removed from vents and fans, keyboards are sanitized, and casings are wiped down. You get a device that feels fresh, not second-hand.

4. Quality guarantee

Once refurbishment is complete, the MacBook goes through final QA. If it doesn't pass, it doesn't ship. Every device sold on Back Market meets our quality standards, and your commercial warranty backs that up.
