I ordered my Lenovo in a fair condition and was amazed to receive and immaculate device that looked brand new. It was easy to set up and is working as expected. This is the second laptop I’ve bought from you and I will definitely not hesitate to recommend you to my friends.

Bought this as a replacement for a well out of date Toshiba.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.

yes on the whole it is a good little laptop. Unfortunately I am frustrated there is no \ key on this keyboard. I am writing this review on my old laptop. You can imagine how frustrating it is not having a \ or the | keys available. Other than that it is a nice product.

I purchased a refurbished ThinkPad from BEST4TECH through Back Market and overall I’m very satisfied with the experience. The laptop arrived on time and was well packaged. The condition was listed as “Good,” and it matched the description — there are a few minor cosmetic marks, but nothing that affects performance. Everything works as expected, and the device feels solid and reliable. Specs were exactly as advertised, I did have a small issue initially with the audio, but it turned out to be a simple driver fix — not a hardware problem. What I appreciated most is that I received the correct model this time, and it feels like a proper upgrade compared to other listings I had issues with before.(with a different seller)

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.
