I was really apprehensive to buy a refurbished MacBook but it's safe to say I am beyond happy. I got a "good" condition 2019 MacBook Air and it's amazing. Barely any ware on it! Incredible condition. Works perfectly. If you're unsure about buying from here I say don't be! Really happy and will 100% be using back market in the future

Buying refurbished sometimes feels like a bit of a gamble, but I'm pleased with my order! Got a 2020 MacBook Pro in "good" condition and it's just as advertised - a tiny amount of wear and tear to the exterior but so far it seems to be in perfect working order with 88% battery health, all for a fraction of what it'd cost new. Only marking down by one point due to the box - while the laptop came securely packaged, it was all in cardboard with no bubblewrap or anything to protect it from water damage during transit. I admire the commitment to recyclable packaging but I feel lucky the parcel wasn't left out in the rain at any point!

I ordered the MacBook Pro 16” M1 Pro 1TB 16GB RAM in Excellent Condition, And BackMarket did NOT disappoint!! The MacBook Arrived in it’s original Apple Box, the MacBook AND the chargers all still with the original Apple packaging! The MacBook itself had absolutely no signs of previous use, it’s like someone bought it from apple and left it in the box with the exception of the instructions being removed from the box and a hole being cut in the box for an extra charger! Which isn’t an issue for me at all!! I wasn’t sure if it WAS actually used in the past so I had a look through the settings to see how many battery Charge Cycles it had previously and it only had 2!!! And one of them was me because it was on charge as i was looking! So I am absolutely delighted, Basically brand-new and all for the price of a refurbished MacBook!! Couldn’t be happier with my purchase! Well recommended!

I bought a MacBook Pro M1 16gb RAM. I was initially looking for a MacBook Air but after seeing the deals that BackMarket offered, I was pleased to find I could afford a Pro model. I found that the price was extremely good value for money. I’m not sure why, but at the time of making my order, the Excellect condition model at 512GB was cheaper than the Fair condition model at 256GB. I thought “RESULT”. I purchased the excellent condition model at 512GB storage, and was already pleased by the price and the promise of the condition. The delivery was speedy and on par with the timeframe they provided. Upon receiving the model, I was thrilled to see the condition. There are extremely minor signs of usage, but they are absolutely minute and to be expected with any refurbished item. In the package, there was a handwritten note from the MacBook company that had sent my laptop. It provided details of the product etc, and upon flipping the note over, it read “We’ve given you a 1TB model, enjoy!!”. I was absolutely over the moon to not only receive an excellent condition model, already higher memory and cheaper than expected, but the company had provided me with a 1TB model out of good w...

I am delighted with my purchase. The MacBook came in excellent condition, just as described. Well packed with accompanying accessories (Charger). I had to wait a month to rate this order and it’s been sunshine so far. However the cable that came with the MacBook was not compatible, and it wasn’t charging when it arrived. £20 investment on a new cable and it’s been happy ever after. I bought a similar MacBook from another refurbisher on BackMarket and I had to return it, however this refurbisher renewed my faith in Back Market, Overall satisfied with my purchase.

Excellent service. I’ll never buy a new Macbook again after receiving my refurbished one from Back Market. It’s in excellent condition as described. Only just got it but so far, Back Market get 10/10 from me.

Overall happy with the MacBook, my only issue is that once I had set it up I was already told the battery needed servicing. Even for just a fair quality product, I’d expect the battery to be tested and replaced when refurbishing?

My macbook 2020 13.3 - inch 16GB SSD 512 QWERTY arrived today and it was in good condition. Looked brand new with barely any scratches. Hard to tell it has been refurbished (I ordered good). Initially had challenges with mac not coming on but was able to fix that quickly following the online support instructions. Super pleased with the excellent service and smooth process. Highly recommend

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.
If you're looking for cheaper 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.
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 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.
All MacBook purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year 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.
Great news for students shopping for refurbished laptops on Back Market - we offer all college and university students £20 off on all purchases worth £250. You can unlock your student offer deals here. Or if you need help deciding on your next laptop, check out our guide on the best laptops for university.
Back Market's refurbished MacBooks are sold in perfect working condition to function just "like new". That's gonna be way better than a used or secod hand MacBook since 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.
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 since you get the same great Apple laptop at the lowest price possible, and you contribute fewer carbon emissions.
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.
