    I'm always nervous about buying new tech. It's a big investment and the choices can be daunting to a non-geek. But my much more knowledgeable sons recommended Back Market and they were right. I'm typing this on a very elegantly refurbished MacBook Air 13 inch (2022) Midnight that looks like new. With son's help I've moved data from the old MacBook Air (2013). There's some tidying up to do as a few files are in the wrong place (and Apple have made Photos unnecessarily complicated). But the laptop is a pleasure to use and I'm enjoying the luxury of a battery that keeps charge The computer arrived quickly, well protected in an Apple box which was cleverly contained inside a scruffy old sports shoebox (so no-one ran off with it). Thank you Back Market.

    My Macbook Air 13-inch came quicker than expected and is in better condition than I expected. Apart from the lack of Apple packaging, there are no identifiers that this is a refurbished device. I am over the moon. Thanks Back Market for a brilliant service.

    As I was expecting (hello! Black Market is the best :D) I'm incredibly happy with my MacBook Air A2337. It's exactly what I was hoping for and what I needed. I bought it "good" and, as my previous experience with my Samsung A34, unless you look closely and may see a tiny scratch or some minor sign of wear (for instance, the keyboard), I would think it's actually "excellent". I was so excited as, although I'm not a fan of Apple's elitism and arrogance in general, I'm a sucker for design and a Mac has no rival in terms of some quirks and little details that are just awesome (quite literally). And how lightweight, compact it is, there's nothing like it. It's exactly what I needed: a device that it's practical to take to the library or to a cafe and that I don't have to plug in all the time (like my other laptop) and great to take on my trips! The size of the screen is also just perfect. The crispiness make the reduced size (compare to my main laptop) unnoticeable. Also, the TOUCHPAD! OMG I've never experience anything like it. I absolutely HATE using touchpads but this one is just incredible. I'm in no rush at all to get a mouse. The battery lasts for many hours, especially for academ...

    This MacBook Pro was in really good condition. `There were a couple of tiny scratches but that is being very picky as they were barely visible . I am thrilled with my purchase. I did have reservations regarding purchasing a reconditioned laptop but, so far, have not been disappointed. I ordered the MacBook on Friday and received it on the following Tuesday. I was kept informed every step of the way. Would definitely recommend this company and, indeed, have done so already!

    I recently purchased a MacBook Air M2 from Back Market, and I have no words to express how amazing it is! This is my first time buying a refurbished product, and honestly, I was a bit scared about its condition. But when it arrived and I checked it, it looked brand new! The battery health is 100%, and the charging cycle was only three times, which is incredible. There’s not a single scratch, not even on the screen or keyboard. If Back Market had shipped it in the original MacBook box, no one would believe it’s refurbished! I’m really happy and satisfied with my purchase. Instead of spending a lot of money on a brand-new MacBook, buying refurbished is a much better option. I truly appreciate the quality and service. Highly recommended!

    Fantastic Experience and Quality Product I recently purchased a used MacBook Air from Backmarket, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The laptop arrived promptly and was securely packaged, ensuring it was in perfect condition upon arrival. The MacBook Air itself exceeded my expectations. Despite being pre-owned, it looks and performs like new. The screen is crisp, the keyboard feels great to type on, and the battery life is excellent—exactly as described on the website. Backmarket’s detailed product description, fair pricing, and eco-conscious approach to refurbished tech made the process feel trustworthy and seamless. I’m thrilled with my purchase and would highly recommend Backmarket to anyone looking for reliable, affordable refurbished tech. It’s a win for your wallet and the planet!

    Really great service, I ordered a refurbished MacBook Air 13 inch (2017) with 128GB of storage but I was sent one with a higher spec and 256GB of storage. Working really well so far, although slower than a new model as expected, and definitely worth the price.

Quality & Condition: The laptop arrived in like-new condition, exceeding my expectations for a refurbished laptop. There were no dents or scratches to be found, and the screen was flawless. It felt like a new laptop! Performance: The i5 processor and 8GB RAM handle multitasking with ease, and the 256GB SSD delivers fast boot-ups and app loading times.

I appreciate the care to deliver the device safely. Customer Service: Back Market service was great! Ordering was fine, and they communicated very well throughout.

Benefits of buying a refurbished MacBook


At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished MacBook 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 MacBook compared to a refurbished one.

Buying a reconditioned MacBook is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished MacBook 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 MacBooks out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.

 

How to choose your MacBook

 

Where to find an inexpensive refurbished MacBook?


If you're looking for less expensive MacBook options and don't want to pay full price, you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored MacBook models at Back Market. That's because we specialise specifically in refurbished tech and take the time to carefully vet every seller on our marketplace to ensure customers are getting reliable devices that perform like-new. We have several refurbed MacBook in price ranges to fit almost anyone's budget.

Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop MacBook deals on our platform.

 

What to expect when buying a refurbished MacBook?


If you're a first-time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your MacBook 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 MacBook 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 MacBook is backed by a 12-month minimum 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.

 

MacBook warranty and return policy with Back Market


All MacBook purchases on Back Market come with free delivery, a 12-month minimum warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best MacBook for your needs at lower prices.

Second hand MacBook vs Refurbished MacBook?

 

Back Market's refurbished MacBooks are sold in perfect working condition to function just 'like new'. That's going to be way better than a used or second-hand MacBook, because our refurbished Apple MacBooks have been thoroughly tested before being sold. Plus everything sold on Back Market comes with a minimum 12-month warranty to give you extra peace of mind.

 

Refurbished MacBook Pro vs MacBook vs MacBook Air

 

MacBooks are a series of Apple laptops that include the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, as well as the original and Retina MacBooks. The original MacBooks and then the 'new' Retina MacBooks were discontinued, but the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air each get updated almost every year by the Californian company. Moreover, they're best suited for different kinds of users. MacBook Pro is the best option for those who want a bigger display, the best performance and the nicest screen possible. But we recommend the MacBook Air to anyone who would prefer better battery life, easier portability and a lower price. In any case, buying a refurbished MacBook is certainly always the best decision, because you get the same great Apple laptop at the lowest price possible, and you contribute fewer carbon emissions.

 

Is an Apple laptop (Apple MacBook) worth it?

 

Currently starting at £999 for a base-model M1 MacBook Air, and going all the way up to £5,899 for a full-specs 14" MacBook Pro (2020), buying an Apple laptop new is not cheap. Obviously then you have to ask yourself: is it worth the price? We think MacBooks are good for those that want a high-quality build, reliable MacOS operating system and industry-leading battery life. It's true that some users may need to consider a Windows PC because Macs aren't compatible with every game or application. But if you are a student or doing creative work, MacBooks can definitely be worth the price. Of course, you can only get the very best value if you avoid buying new, and instead buy your next laptop refurbished on Back Market. Get the same M1 MacBook Air starting at £880, and a 14" MacBook Pro (2020) for as low as £1,899.
