I'm really pleased with this MacBook Air. It was advertised as refurbished in excellent condition, and it arrived exactly as described. Cosmetically, it looks fantastic with no visible wear. It genuinely looks brand new. The battery health is 95%, which exceeded my expectations for a refurbished device and gives me confidence it has plenty of life left. Performance has been excellent too and the M1 chip is fast and responsive for everyday tasks. I'd happily recommend it to anyone considering a refurbished MacBook.

I’m honestly really happy with my purchase. I ordered a MacBook Air (M1) in “excellent” condition and I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially at this price, but I was pleasantly surprised. The laptop arrived quickly, was clean, and looks practically brand new. There are no visible scratches or signs of wear at all. The biggest bonus for me was the battery health — it’s at 100%, which I definitely wasn’t expecting from a refurbished device. It runs smoothly, and everything works exactly as it should. I also appreciated how easy the setup was. It felt like setting up a new laptop, just without the original Apple packaging. Overall, I feel like I got amazing value for money. I was initially hesitant, but this experience has definitely changed my perspective on buying refurbished tech. Would 100% recommend.

I really like my MacBook Air. It looks new and is lightweight and works well. I’m glad I got a reconditioned one as it was affordable. I haven’t used it a lot yet but the battery seems fine. I’m happy with my purchase.

This MacBook Air is like new, there are no visible marks and battery condition is still at the highest level. Super pleased with it. Also amazed that it shipped on a Sunday afternoon when I placed the order and I had it 24 hours later.

Received my Apple MacBook Air today (M1, 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD) and am absolutely delighted with my purchase. I required a laptop or system to setup a home music studio (I'm a songwriter) and researched this for some time. I also researched outlets to purchase refurbished units and backmarket seemed to be the place to deal with. The price was great, the item is in such good condition you couldn't distinguish it from new, and it runs great. I'm just having to wait to setup my apple ID as I spoke to apple and they have some issues right now. But other than that, so happy with this thing I can't put it down and within the next 2 months or so I will have purchased all of the required items on a rather large list. Any time I require a similar item, I will be using backmarket and I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends or colleagues. Superb products, superb service and the way they deal with customers makes you feel valued and rather like your part of some elite club lol. Thankyou guys - the first song I get published by a known artist I will contact you with details and I will note how you made it possible. Kind regards JT

Really impressed with my MacBook Air 13-inch. Wasn't sure what to expect from one in fair condition but it arrived quicker than expected and in great condition with only one or two slight cosmetic blemishes. Happy customer!

Few war wounds on the corners, but as expected for a fair device so no complaints! Works perfectly, non apple charger provided which also works as expected. Battery 82% - all good for the spec I picked!
