The MacBook (ordered 'fair') is way better than I expected! There are no scratches worth mentioning. It also arrived well-packaged. The display and surface were nice and clean, buttons and touchpad are working so far. The battery seems good so far as well. I'm super happy with the purchase and would definitely order again!

Dropped my old reliable MacBook Pro when my laptop bag slipped off my shoulder onto a tiled floor. Buying a refurbished one worked out a better deal than getting the old one fixed. I put my old ssd drive into the refurb and very happy. Only downside was that the seller sent the wrong charger which obviously wouldn’t fit. They sent me a non apple replacement which works at least so all good in the end.

Very satisfied with my MacBook Pro Retina. Bought the ‘good’ version but it may as well have been excellent condition. Quick and simple to buy and deliver

God I really want to give this 5 Stars but I can’t. The laptop is worth it. Laptop was in such good condition I was shocked and it works perfectly (the fan can get a little noisy but hey it’s a 10 year old laptop what you gonna do) but in terms of the laptop , perfect and as described ! The reason I can’t give it 5 is because the charger it came with is faulty. It makes an audible electric buzzing sound and gets stupidly hot. Bit of research says it shouldn’t be used so currently In a lull where I can’t use the laptop because I need to go and buy a new charger. Update - 5 Stars all round. upon raising the issue, OTAL sent out a replacement and it arrived a day later. very good customer service!

I am so impressed with this MacBook! It came within 15 hours of ordering and was in perfect condition even though I selected 'Good' condition. The screen and outside of the MacBook are in mint condition with a few faint surface scratches on the bottom of the laptop. There was minimal wear on the silicone feet which I replaced after a few weeks when I was sure I would be keeping it. Opening the back to put on the new feet also allowed me to see that the inside was also brand new and perfectly expert cleaned as advertised - with not even a spec of dust! This is the first MacBook I have ever owned and I can confidently say I will never go back to windows. Dispite the age of the laptop, which I was a little worried about, it works at exactly the same speed as my 2022 iPad and there is nothing I cannot do with it despite it being 10 years old at this time. The glowing apple on the back is an added bonus! I have always dreamed of having my own MacBook and never would have been able to afford one without BackMarket, and would be worried about the condition if I bought one elsewhere. When the laptop first arrived the lower case O wouldn't work but after a quick google searched I realised it was because of an accessibility setting (so watch out for that, its not broken!) - and it has been perfect since. I have already shown off my new laptop to friends and family and highly recommended to my friends!!!! I will not think twice about ordering from BackMarket again. 10/10. I am taking care of this laptop with daily surface cleaning, new rubber feet, silicone dust plugs and a hard plastic case to ensure that it lasts me hopefully another 10 years and prevent any wear and tear. So far I have been unable to put it down!!! THANK YOU BACK MARKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The laptop is very good, no scuffs or marks that I can see but it arrives already set up with an account meaning it needs factory resetting to fully set it up properly as your own device. Other than that it’s good.
