    Received my Apple MacBook Air today (M1, 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD) and am absolutely delighted with my purchase. I required a laptop or system to setup a home music studio (I'm a songwriter) and researched this for some time. I also researched outlets to purchase refurbished units and backmarket seemed to be the place to deal with. The price was great, the item is in such good condition you couldn't distinguish it from new, and it runs great. I'm just having to wait to setup my apple ID as I spoke to apple and they have some issues right now. But other than that, so happy with this thing I can't put it down and within the next 2 months or so I will have purchased all of the required items on a rather large list. Any time I require a similar item, I will be using backmarket and I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends or colleagues. Superb products, superb service and the way they deal with customers makes you feel valued and rather like your part of some elite club lol. Thankyou guys - the first song I get published by a known artist I will contact you with details and I will note how you made it possible. Kind regards JT

    Absolutely amazing purchase Not one scratch on the Macbook pro and I had selected just a good model but overall excellent performance and arrived within a day. Packaging neat overall was as good as a brand new laptop possibly the best refurbished product I have purchased to date and a massive upgrade from Macbook air. I would highly recommend back market as I consider myself to becoming a long term customer.

    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.

    I recently purchased a MacBook Air M2 from Back Market, and I have no words to express how amazing it is! This is my first time buying a refurbished product, and honestly, I was a bit scared about its condition. But when it arrived and I checked it, it looked brand new! The battery health is 100%, and the charging cycle was only three times, which is incredible. There’s not a single scratch, not even on the screen or keyboard. If Back Market had shipped it in the original MacBook box, no one would believe it’s refurbished! I’m really happy and satisfied with my purchase. Instead of spending a lot of money on a brand-new MacBook, buying refurbished is a much better option. I truly appreciate the quality and service. Highly recommended!

    I recently bought MacBook Pro Retina 13-inch (2020) - Core i5 - 16GB SSD 512 from Back market and omg it’s not only looks like a brand new Macbook but it also arrived within an upgraded version of Core i7. I bought it in Excellent condition and it was beyond my expectations. This isn’t the first time I bought a gadget from the Back market and I have to say they have never disappointed us. I’d strongly recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much guys. And I’m looking forward to purchasing my next item. I absolutely love my MacBook. Can’t thank you enough guys!

    I’m so pleased with my MacBook it’s absolutely perfect for me as I’m starting out writing a book about a very personal journey I’ve been on all my life. I have a Mac at home but needed the flexibility and freedom of going anywhere (normally my favourite coffee shops) to write. I’m super pleased with my MacBook it’s in perfect condition and other than a little mark on the cover it looks brand new. It worked right from the go and once I’d sorted out my AppleID it was like I’d never been away. I guess my only concern was how good the battery would be but it’s absolutely fine I’ve used it out and about and the battery has kept me going for a couple of hours (there’s only so much coffe a girl can drink😂) with plenty left in the tank. It’s awesome. I’ve been so impressed with Back Market, the service and speed of delivery were amazing Thank You Stephanie.

    Laptop arrived in 3 days and although I paid for a 'fair' condition laptop, it's perfect. No wear, no scratches, looks and runs like new. Very pleased with my purchase and I'll definitely buy from Backmarket again. Many thanks!

    The device arrived promptly and was in better condition than fair, which is the condition I purchased. There were a few small scratches on the bottom on the laptop but this is insignificant as I never see them. The laptop works exactly as I would expect. I am so pleased!

    Came 2 days early, I chose the fair condition but it was essentially immaculate other than a single scratch on the lid and work keys, but that is to be expected with Macs. Battery health is great screen is scratch free and runs amazing. Very pleased, surpassed my expectations

    All good as I use it for my music and cabaret shows but when it's plugged in the mains I get a slight interference over my PA system. I may have to get another mains unit as this one may be faulty. But overall I am very pleased
