LOVE my rose gold MacBook, at first I thought I had a problem with it but it turned out to be the charger I was using, they were so quick to help out and even though the laptop was in good working order they still sent me £25, I thought that was such a nice gesture. Purchased around a month ago now and still working beautifully :)

I’ve been a Backmarket customer for quite some time now and let’s just say, the quality is exactly as expected for an excellent space grey MacBook Air- sleek, seamless and almost impeccable. The product was packed and delivered very carefully, and the quality and performance so far is amazing, definitely will buy more products again!

I purchased 'good' in order to get the spec I wanted. Yes, when it arrived it did show 'sticker fade marks' but they were sorted with a 'carbon fibre' shell so no problems. This MacBook Air represents far better value than the awful 2015 12" Macbook it replaces, at about 1/3rd of the price! It is great to have a real keyboard again so no more tapping keys three times to get an 'a'. All in all, I'm a very satisfied customer and, based on this experience, would recommend BackMarket to anyone wanting a replacement laptop.
