Arrived in excellent packaging and in perfect condition apart from minor scratches around power input socket. Windows 11 installed perfectly but I removed it and installed MXLinux 25 which loaded quickly and ran perfectly.

Really pleased with the laptop I purchased. In great condition, better than described on the website. Build quality is great and laptop seems to run pretty well (only had one issue with fans running a bit loud, but that only seems to be if I'm running a video call or something similar).

The laptop sent wasn't the one advertised. It did seem like a great laptop but the pictures depicted and what was sent were very clearly not the same, even to the point of purchasing an i7 but was sent i5. Returning the laptop was simple to do and the customer service from Back market was polite and quick.
