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!
