    I was switching from windows to Mac so decided to buy refurbished since the Apple prices are extortionate. I am not worried about the look so went for the fair condition. It's been a few weeks, so far the MacBook pro is performing really well. there are obvious signs of use on it but nothing major. The specs I went for had 256GB hard drive but the MacBook actually has double the storage. Overall a good experience.

    I'm always nervous about buying new tech. It's a big investment and the choices can be daunting to a non-geek. But my much more knowledgeable sons recommended Back Market and they were right. I'm typing this on a very elegantly refurbished MacBook Air 13 inch (2022) Midnight that looks like new. With son's help I've moved data from the old MacBook Air (2013). There's some tidying up to do as a few files are in the wrong place (and Apple have made Photos unnecessarily complicated). But the laptop is a pleasure to use and I'm enjoying the luxury of a battery that keeps charge The computer arrived quickly, well protected in an Apple box which was cleverly contained inside a scruffy old sports shoebox (so no-one ran off with it). Thank you Back Market.

    I recieved my MacBook pro in as new condition. I am delighted with the vast amount of money I have saved with not buying new from the high street. A wonderful experience from picking the model that suited me to receiving my order. I would recommend anybody to look at reconditioned Macbook,s from this company before buying new.

    Oooo-wee, but I *l*o*v*e* this machine. Bought it because it cost less than the MacBook Air I was first looking at. To start with, not only did it arrive early and fully charged, it's in mint condition, despite my buying "fair". Absolutely stunning and works like a dream. Kudos to the refurbisher who has done a BRILLIANT job. As for the MacBook Pro itself, I don't know why the touch bar gets a bad press, I find it unobtrusive and most helpful when I need it. My best purchase from Back Market so far and thrilled with it, thank you.

    Easy to order. Very quick delivery, arrived less than 24 hours after I ordered it. Item was a refurbished Macbook Air. Arrived in excellent condition and was very well packaged. Mac looks practically new. Set it up as soon as it arrived. Needed it for uni degree - Logic Pro is only compatible with certain versions Macbook. This is my third purchase as last two were not compatible (nothing to do with Back Market). Very happy I finally got the correct version. No problems whatsoever. Would definitely buy from Back Market again.

    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.

    My Macbook Air 13-inch came quicker than expected and is in better condition than I expected. Apart from the lack of Apple packaging, there are no identifiers that this is a refurbished device. I am over the moon. Thanks Back Market for a brilliant service.

    As I was expecting (hello! Black Market is the best :D) I'm incredibly happy with my MacBook Air A2337. It's exactly what I was hoping for and what I needed. I bought it "good" and, as my previous experience with my Samsung A34, unless you look closely and may see a tiny scratch or some minor sign of wear (for instance, the keyboard), I would think it's actually "excellent". I was so excited as, although I'm not a fan of Apple's elitism and arrogance in general, I'm a sucker for design and a Mac has no rival in terms of some quirks and little details that are just awesome (quite literally). And how lightweight, compact it is, there's nothing like it. It's exactly what I needed: a device that it's practical to take to the library or to a cafe and that I don't have to plug in all the time (like my other laptop) and great to take on my trips! The size of the screen is also just perfect. The crispiness make the reduced size (compare to my main laptop) unnoticeable. Also, the TOUCHPAD! OMG I've never experience anything like it. I absolutely HATE using touchpads but this one is just incredible. I'm in no rush at all to get a mouse. The battery lasts for many hours, especially for academ...

    This MacBook Pro was in really good condition. `There were a couple of tiny scratches but that is being very picky as they were barely visible . I am thrilled with my purchase. I did have reservations regarding purchasing a reconditioned laptop but, so far, have not been disappointed. I ordered the MacBook on Friday and received it on the following Tuesday. I was kept informed every step of the way. Would definitely recommend this company and, indeed, have done so already!
