After a lot of research and comparing different refurbished MacBooks, I finally decided to buy a 13-inch MacBook Pro M1 (16GB RAM / 512GB SSD) from Back Market, and I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations. The buying process was incredibly straightforward. The website was easy to navigate, the product description matched what I received, and the checkout process was quick and hassle-free. One of the biggest surprises was the delivery speed. The laptop arrived the very next day, which I honestly wasn't expecting. Since I rely on my computer for remote work, getting it that quickly made a huge difference. As for the MacBook itself, I selected the Excellent cosmetic grade, and it absolutely lived up to that description. I genuinely struggled to find any visible signs that it was a refurbished device. The chassis was immaculate, the display looked flawless, the keyboard and trackpad felt brand new, and every port worked perfectly. The battery was another pleasant surprise. It arrived with 83% battery health and only 295 charge cycles, which I think is perfectly reasonable for a refurbished machine of this age. macOS reports the battery condition as Normal, and in everyday use it has easily lasted through my work sessions. Before committing to using it as my daily work machine, I thoroughly tested everything: ✅ Display ✅ Keyboard ✅ Speakers ✅ Webcam ✅ Touch Bar ✅ All USB-C ports ✅ Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Everything worked exactly as it should. Performance has been outstanding. I use this MacBook for remote meetings, productivity, writing, Obsidian, VS Code, light development work, and creative applications like Affinity Designer and DaVinci Resolve, and it handles everything effortlessly. Coming from a failing 2016 Intel MacBook Pro, the difference is honestly night and day. The M1 chip still feels incredibly fast, and paired with 16GB of RAM, I never feel constrained even when multitasking across multiple applications. Looking back, choosing a refurbished Mac instead of repairing my old machine was absolutely the right decision. Repairing my previous MacBook would have cost almost as much as buying this one, yet I would still have been using a much older Intel laptop. Instead, I now have a machine that feels modern, fast, reliable, and should comfortably serve me for years. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with both the laptop and the entire purchasing experience. If my experience is anything to go by, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Back Market again. Rating: 5/5 ⭐ A smooth buying experience, incredibly fast shipping, a laptop that arrived in excellent condition, and performance that has completely exceeded my expectations. For anyone considering a refurbished MacBook, this was money very well spent.

After initially ordering the exact same laptop from a third party seller on Amazon and having to return it because the camera wasn’t working, I decided to do a deeper dive into the refurbished electronics market. From all the research I did, it became clear that rather than buying refurbished devices from random third party Amazon sellers, Back Market seemed to have far better checks and systems in place specifically for refurbished products. I placed an order and it arrived on time. I’ve been using the laptop for a few days now and so far I haven’t found any issues. The only downside was the battery health sitting at 80%, but I suppose that comes with choosing a device rated as “Good”. Hopefully this one serves me as well as my previous 2016 MacBook Pro, which I bought used in 2019 and only just replaced in 2026. That laptop still works perfectly fine. I never had to replace or repair anything on it. The only real issue was that the processor had started struggling with the heavy creative apps I regularly use, and the fan would scream anytime I pushed it too hard. I’ll probably pass it on to my nephew. I’m hoping this new one gives me at least another five years without problems. The M1 chip is genuinely a huge upgrade. I honestly feel like I’ve been living under a rock. The seamless connection with my iPhone 15 Pro is incredible.

Ordered yesterday and got it today by the next morning! I was a bit skeptical as i’de never bought refurbished tech but it comes amazing and perfectly securely packaged, including a charger. The battery efficiency is 97% which is practically nearly brand new so thats perfect and there’s absolutely no scratches. Gonna insert what storage says as its 16gb but im unsure about what this means for the ssd as i got the 512GB ssd one. Time will tell for how long it lasts but seems absolutely perfect!

This is my first refurbished purchase and I can happily say I have 0 regrets. What is considered “fair” condition is leaps and bounds beyond what I expected. I did read reviews by condition ahead of purchase which gave me the confidence- the laptop is almost mint condition. No significant signs of wear; the shell has 1 tiny little dent which is not noticeable even with regular use. Screen is immaculate. Keyboard and pad too. Laptop is running super smooth, big upgrade for me with a not so huge price tag. Cannot fault it. The amount of bang for buck is insane. Highly recommend BackMarket. Will be using to get a new phone next month!!

Was a bit nervous buying something so expensive without seeing it in person, but I read a lot of the reviews first and played it safe by getting ‘good’ condition rather than ‘fair’. The condition is excellent, there’s one minor scratch to the outside case which doesn’t bother me at all. I also got the battery cover, but I needn’t have bothered as the battery health was 97% and only 71 cycles!! For an extra £49 it gave me peace of mind as I don’t usually spend this much on something I haven’t seen. Shipping was fast and updates were good. It was packaged securely. Overall I’m very happy and it runs a lot quicker than my MacBook from 2010 😂

It's a beautiful laptop, it looks pristine, and was very easy to set up with time machine. I checked the battery cycles - just 6, so it really was almost brand new. I'm glad I paid a little extra for "excellent". Communication and delivery were perfect, I couldn't be happier.
