Verified purchaseThis 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!

Verified purchaseI recently purchased a MacBook Pro Retina 13-inch (2020) - Core i5 - 8GB RAM - 256GB SSD from Back Market, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! Quality & Condition: The laptop arrived in like-new condition, exceeding my expectations for a refurbished laptop. There were no dents or scratches to be found, and the screen was flawless. It felt like a new laptop! Performance: The i5 processor and 8GB RAM handle multitasking with ease, and the 256GB SSD delivers fast boot-ups and app loading times. For work, streaming, or casual browsing, this MacBook performs a treat. Delivery & Packaging: Shipping was prompt and reliable, and packaging was secure to prevent any damage. I appreciate the care to deliver the device safely. Customer Service: Back Market service was great! Ordering was fine, and they communicated very well throughout. Overall: I was a little hesitant purchasing a refurbished MacBook, but don't be! This was a great purchase, and I would highly recommend Back Market for quality refurbished tech at a great price. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars – Would Buy Again!

Verified purchaseI have bought several laptops, desktops and tablets from Back Market. This one was for my partner. She's and using it now and is well pleased with it. Of all the back Market products so far only one failed and it was replaced with a better, newer one which I am currently typing this on. I will (as they say) be back, probably for a reconditioned iWatch.

Verified purchaseI was blown away by the condition of my new macbook! Not a scratch on it and works like a dream! I've always bought my tech refurbished, but I've never known a quality like this. I traded in my old macbook and the service was quick and easy to navigate. Highly recommend and will definitely be using Back Market again!

Verified purchaseWhen I initially opened the box I was slightly disappointed at the condition (I ordered excellent) but quickly realised it is 4 years old & refurbished after all- brand new quality comes at brand new prices. There are some marks on the screen (maybe from where there’s been stickers) but everything works as it should, it’s rapid, & mainly has no problem keeping up with my work load - Recording bands etc Absolutely love this machine & would recommend Backmarket to anyone!

Verified purchaseFor a refurb it's pretty decent, I was apprehensive to buy one. But it work as it should, got delivered promptly. The battery life is decent too. And to buy a refurbished anything we are recycling our tech and helping the planet.

Verified purchaseI ordered a MacBook Pro just a few days ago, and it has already arrived. The condition has exceeded my expectations as I selected the configuration “Good” and it has no marks/scratches. I’m genuinely very happy. For my version was was the Core i9 I would strongly advise you stay with macOS Ventura/Monterey as it will be more compatible with the intel chips.
