    There were a wide range of products to choose from at a price that we were happy with. Pleased that there was the additional insurance ... just in case! If we look really closely, we can see that the keys had been used but other than that the MacBook Air was in really good condition. Brilliant too that you are delivering to the Isle of Man.

    Lets be honest, as a student getting by on a decade old laptop for several years, this MacBook is such an upgrade from the windows 10. Runs and operates as it should smooth and clean I love it and so happy I bought this. Gonna help so much with my studies and future endeavours, I can't wait I'm just so happy

    Great experience, cannot fault it. I was nervous about ordering because I’ve never used Back Market and worried about problems/returns etc but my laptop arrived in perfect condition, it was just as described, I could track it at every single stage of its delivery (and that was helpful as it arrived 2 days before the estimated delivery date). Its easy to order from the website. I can’t comment on customer service because I haven’t needed to use them. I did a factory reset when the laptop arrived and reinstalled the operating system. So far, so good.

    Just like new! I also appreciate the speed and depth of support I received when I asked if this would be suitable for screen sharing from iPads..an essential element in developing a new business that will earn lots of money! But even when we're rich and could afford new iPhones and MacBooks, why will we bother. We will stay fans of Back Market

    I honestly don’t know why you’d ever buy new when you can buy a high quality, well functioning laptop from Back Market. I’m super happy with my Mac, it does everything I need and you wouldn’t know it’s secondhand. Better for my purse and for the planet!

MacBook Air Retina 13.3-inch (2020) - Core i5 - 8GB - SSD 256 GB QWERTY

The Apple MacBook Air "Core i5" 1.1 13-Inch (Retina, Scissor Keyboard, 2020) model features a 10-nm 10th Generation "Ice Lake" 1.1 GHz Intel "Core i5" processor (1030NG7) with four independent processor "cores" on a single chip, a 6 MB shared level 3 cache, 8 GB of onboard 3733 MHz LPDDR4X SDRAM, 512 GB of onboard PCIe-based flash storage, and an "integrated" Intel Iris Plus graphics processor that shares system memory. Both the RAM and the SSD could be upgraded at the time of initial system purchase, but not subsequently.

This all is tucked in a thin wedge-shaped aluminum case with an integrated 720p "FaceTime HD" webcam, Touch ID, a new backlit "Magic Keyboard" with a "redesigned scissor mechanism", a large "Force Touch" trackpad, and a high-resolution 13.3" LED-backlit 2560x1600 (227 ppi) "Retina" display with True Tone technology.

The aluminum case was available in three color options -- gold (pictured, left), silver, and a darker "Space Gray" (but not other colors) and weighs 2.8 pounds (1.29 kg). Apple estimates battery life at 11-12 hours depending on the task performed.

Connectivity includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5, two Thunderbolt 3 ports (USB-C connector), and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Compared to its predecessor, the "2020" MacBook Air lineup looks practically the same and has the same "True Tone" display, but has a newer, significantly faster processor and architecture, more capable graphics, a new -- more reliable -- "Scissor Switch" keyboard, more default storage, and a lower starting price tag.
