I had a bad experience previously which put me off buying refurbished Macs. Eventually I had to give it another go as I urgently required a Mac to work last minute. Not only the laptop arrived to me the next day, it also came flawless. Third day in and I had it running for 7 hours straight for work - no issues! Thank you.

I was hoping a “fare” laptop because that is what I paid for. But surprisingly the laptop came in wonderful and impecable condition. I am very pleased with my purchase. Also came earlier that expected.

I purchased a MacBook Air 13” (2017) I chose excellent condition and i certainly wasn’t disappointed. Looking at it from outside to inside the cover it is perfect, and is working perfectly. This is the 2nd item (the 1st was an iPhone 12 which again was in excellent condition. I would highly recommend Back Market for any more future purchases.

The MacBook Air arrived promptly and is in far better condition than I could have imagined. Have had it a week, transferring everything from my last one was seamless and, touch wood, everything seems to be working perfectly. Amazing price and looks great too given its age and fair condition. May never buy a new laptop ever again!

I bought the macbook air for a gift and the new owner seems delighted with it. I think refurbished is a good ethical choice as no new machine are as good ethically as refurbished, but you do get some peace of mind compared to just second hand. I buy refurbished whenever I can because I have friends in the DRC who suffer very greatly from the trade in conflict minerals. The people there deserve to see more benefit from their natural resources.

Really great service, I ordered a refurbished MacBook Air 13 inch (2017) with 128GB of storage but I was sent one with a higher spec and 256GB of storage. Working really well so far, although slower than a new model as expected, and definitely worth the price.
