Very pleasantly surprised - for a laptop rated 'fair' I really struggled to find any issues at all on it aside from a very small, almost unnoticeable, scuff on the underside of one corner. Screen in perfect condition and it fires up and works spot on. Exactly want I was after and a great saving on a buying a new laptop. Delivery was super-quick (next day despite saying 3-5 working days) which is always appreciated. Thanks.

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.

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.

I've tried a few other makers but I went back to HP. I spent a few days with both my current and new computer running to get it set up in a more relaxed manner. I used to change to my refurb's as soon as they arrived but that adds a bit of pressure as I missed out on everyday uses like my news digests. So now I set up a new refurb over a few days with updates and fave programs, and then I can put my current laptop away as another spare. I'm glad to be back to HP and this one runs like a racing car.

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).
