Bought this as a replacement for a well out of date Toshiba. Very impressed with the Lenovo. So lightweight and fast by comparison. The condition is excellent and if you told me it was new old stock never used I'd believe it.

It is sellers/refurbishers like this that make me buy from back market. I am delighted with my purchase. The delivery was super quick, the laptop was packaged very well to be kept safe and the laptop itself was in great condition with everything working as it should, good battery life remaining and it started up like a brand new laptop ready to be setup. Do not hesitate to buy from this seller. Thank you very much.

bought the ThinkPad in “good quality” condition, not even excellent, and honestly I’m really impressed. It practically looks new , there’s only a tiny scratch on the front, but overall it’s perfect. I’ve just turned it on and I’m doing the updates now, but so far the quality has exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much because for the price, this is an amazing computer and definitely great value for money.

Described as fair condition yet apart from some mild scuffs and marks on the actual lid, the screen and keyboard are perfect. Not found anything wrong so far. It's fast and does everything I need it to do. Also was listed as having a 1366 × 768 resolution screen but I didn't notice that until after I purchased it so I was prepared to return it as soon as it arrived. But to my surprise, it was in fact a 1920 x 1080 screen so that also worked out well.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Stars – Outstanding Experience! This is my second purchase from Back Market, but my first-ever review—and it’s well deserved! Back Market and this particular trader were absolutely amazing. I ordered a laptop with 8 GB RAM, and to my surprise, it was upgraded to 16 GB at no extra cost! That completely made my day—16 GB was exactly what I needed, but I couldn’t afford the upgrade at the time. This kind of thoughtful service is rare. After a few weeks of use, I can confidently say the laptop is in excellent condition. The battery feels like new, and everything works perfectly. I’m beyond happy with my purchase and will definitely keep coming back if this quality and service continue. I highly recommend Back Market and this trader to anyone looking for reliable, affordable, and trustworthy refurbished tech.
