    I loved how simple it was to buy the laptop itself, It’s an amazing way to buy a laptop refurbished it is almost identical to the real thing.

    Wow! Been looking at the website for a few months but finally decided to buy a new MacBook Wednesday evening. Absolute beauty of a gold Air 13” model arrived Friday lunchtime. Condition listed as good, but looks immaculate to me (the sticker residue comes off with a few firm rubs with sellotape). Now looking at a new watch. Crazy to pay full price on products with such a high turnover as Apple ❤️❤️❤️

    I am in love with this laptop although it’s a bit slow sometimes it still perfectly works. I brought this in fair conditions and you really can only see small damages but it’s perfect. The sound is amazing and the screen is perfect. Thank you

    It arrived in 2 days. It came with half battery, a bit dirty and at the beginning was a bit slow. When I have many apps/tabs open the Mac starts to get hot and noisy. I got the good condition and the Mac has a few scratches but nothing big. Also the charger isn't Apple Original, it looks cheap. In general I truly reccomend buying it and I am satisfied.

    Initial laptop arrived faulty and without power cable so had to be returned, seller and Blackmarket were great with response time and replacement was sent out a week later. The only thing I would say is that the replacement laptop came with a changer that is not an apple certified charger, it was not an issue for me as I have a spare charger I can use however was a little annoying.
