It works as expected. It was a steep learning curve with USB-C since my 'old' laptop is MacBook Pro 2011 (also bought refurbished!. It connects to everthing I want it to and in comparison, everything works so much faster.

My Honest Review of My Recent Order from Back Market I recently placed an order through Back Market and wanted to share my experience with anyone considering buying refurbished tech from them. I ordered a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inches (2018) and was pleasantly surprised overall. The device arrived earlier than expected and was well-packaged, with no signs of damage during shipping. In terms of condition, I chose the Good option as there was a deal, and I’d say it lived up to expectations. I didn’t find any scratches or dents. Functionally, the device worked right out of the box. I ran a few tests, and everything from the battery health to the screen responsiveness and camera seemed solid. I really appreciated the eco-conscious approach and the fact that I saved a good amount compared to buying the same brand-new device. It also came with a 12-month warranty, which gave me peace of mind. That said, the device is heating up very quickly, and I am unsure if that’s supposed to happen. The heat reaches a point where keeping the device on my lap is unbearable. I reached out to BM and followed recommendations which was helpful. Final Verdict: I’d consider using Back Market again. If you’re comfortable with refurbished devices and want to save money while being a bit kinder to the planet, Back Market is a strong option. Just make sure to read the seller reviews and double-check the warranty details.

MacBook is fantastic haven't encountered any issues with the computer itself yet, and can't imagine I will. Sadly the charger didn't work but after replacing it myself - I'm still extremely happy with the MacBook and can recommend Macteam, or Black Market!!

So far all good. I was very impressed with my laptop. It looked brand new, I could only find 1 chip that you could only make out if you did a thorough inspection. Its unlikely that i will buy new from Apple again, I will continue to get products from Back Market.
