Verified purchaseA great quality laptop, exactly as described. Much better value than buying brand new and yet it looks, behaves and feels brand new! It’s really good to know that less raw materials are being used when I buy from Backmarket. So much less wasteful to use a good refurbished second hand item. Thank you Backmarket.

Verified purchaseWhen i bought my laptop an Elitebook 2019 ryzan, i was skeptical and didn't know what to expect. But i have to say i was impressed when it arrived it was more than what i expected for a second hand laptop. I'd recommend BackMarket to anyone looking to get a refurbished laptop.

Verified purchaseIt is more than what I expected. Just a few-very small scratches but very small. If you are hesitant to buy a refurbished laptop like I was, Back Market changed my mind I am very pleased with my purchase. Thank you for the service

Verified purchaseWoooo - I LOVE Backmarket! New Dell Inspiron worked out of the box - loaded with Windows 11 - seamless - the order arrived almost immediately - and for £250 it’s a great laptop for personal use - emails, net surfing and streaming videos😹😹👍🎉🎉 And for a device in fair condition it looks great / screen and keyboard are mint - one tiny flaw on outer case but for the price it’s what’s inside that counts and that’s guaranteed refurbished and that’s working just fine😹

Verified purchaseI recently purchased a refurbished laptop from Back Market. The product was marketed as being in good condition. The laptop arrived in a couple of days and on time. Upon opening the condition was definitely at the top end of being good. The laptop was very easy to set up, helpful step by step instructions were available as soon as I logged on. I have now been using the product for a couple of weeks and am really happy with the purchase.

Verified purchaseLet's start with the negatives as I always prefer the bad news first. Item arrived a bit dirty, lots of little fluff and dust on it. Should at least have been given a wipe before sending out! Secondly it had an Core i5 sticker on it! Almost packaged it back for a return then decided to put it on and see the specs just in case it was a mistake and it was. Laptop is Core i7 just as I ordered! Quite a silly mistake! Now that's out of the way, I want to say this will definitely not be my last time buying from Back Market! I'm so pleased with my purchase. Laptop is great!!! Delivery was fast with prompt information about status and item was well packaged to prevent any damage. Laptop is preforming marvellously and I'm really pleased with it! I was quite hesitant about buying a refurbished laptop but trusted Back Market(since I've bought phones from them in the past without complaints) and no regrets so far.

Verified purchaseJust bought a Dell Latitude 5400 from Back Market. The service so far has been fantastic. I bought the laptop in fair condition (as it was the only option left for that model) and it arrived in an impeccable state. Looks like it just left the shop shelf. The speed and performance is amazing. Thank you Back Market.
