Overall, I’m satisfied with my MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch (2017) – Core i7 – 16GB RAM – 512GB SSD – QWERTY (English). The performance is strong for everyday tasks, multitasking, and even some heavier creative work. The Retina display is still impressive — sharp, bright, and great for both work and streaming. That said, there are a couple of minor drawbacks. The battery life isn’t as long as I’d hoped, especially during more demanding tasks. The laptop can also get a bit warm and the fans become noticeable under heavy use. While the keyboard is generally comfortable, it does take some getting used to. Despite these small issues, the overall build quality feels premium and the device runs smoothly. Considering it’s a refurbished model and a more environmentally friendly choice, I think it offers good value for the price. In general, I’m happy with the purchase, with just a few minor compromises to keep in mind

I purchased this MacBook to use during my music production degree and it came earlier than expected. I went for “good” quality and bar a few tiny scratches it runs perfectly. Really happy with the outcome and amazing quality for the price. :)

This is my second time using Back Market. Despite having issues with PayPal the first time, which wasn't their fault, they were very helpful, friendly and polite. I have again been really impressed with Bak Market's service. I was able to buy a really well look after MacBook Pro, which works really well. I bought it at around 4pm and it turned up the next morning. That's exceptional delivery. It was well wrapped and instructions inside. I've been really impressed and will definitely be using them again for my future gadget needs.

I ordered this MacBook listed in fair condition, but when it arrived it actually looked good to excellent. There’s only a small dent on the side and one barely noticeable scratch. Everything works perfectly and it was very clean. Because of that, I’m giving it 5 stars.
