Customer reviews for Refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad

I've bought a couple of refurbished Lenovo Think Pads for our field team over the past 12 months but they were from a different refurbisher, not through BackMarket. As the other company didn't have any in stock when I needed another one, and having purchased 3 refurbished mobiles from Back Market before and been delighted, I thought I'd give one a go. The laptop works perfectly and is quick, suggesting that much of the bloat associated with new equipment has been removed. The case is a bit 'shiny', unlike the matt finish I've received before so I suspect this has been done to try to make the laptop look as good as it could, and someone went a bit overboard with the dashboard polish! Personally, I'd have preferred a slightly scratched matt finish but this is a minor gripe. I'm in the process of loading some diagnostic software and this is a time consuming and tricky process but the laptop seems to be handling it ith ease, so if it performs as well in the field once it reaches its new owner, I'll be a happy shopper.

Very nice :3 Came in described condition however the battery runs fast but i wont put that down to the refurbishers and lenovo instead, would defo recommend! (Decorated it a bit too)

Exactly as described—working great—fully able to edit the machine to my needs also (for windows users: just update your drivers and the additional Lenovo updates and it’ll run smoothly). Installed a Linux distro on the laptop and I’m having loads of fun already. Great Thinkpad, five stars. Very fast service too!

My son is absolutely thrilled with his purchase with some Christmas and Birthday money he received. He wanted a laptop that he could compose music on and programme on Scratch with like he does at school and this is ideal. I think his laptop is better than ours!

I must say I was amazed by how clean the computer was. It was like brand new . The set up was good and ready to go . The delivery was fast than expected and there was no structural damage at all . I am very pleased with the service . Keep it up back market . Definitely will recommend to my friends and loved ones .

i had some difficult driver issues to do with the intel graphics and the dedicated gpu inside, but once i managed to solve them, it worked perfectly. the drivers were very out of date on the device i got, however with a bit of hope and the span of about 12 hours, i managed to wrap my head around it. i would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a good laptop but is able to do some work to get it working

The laptop is amazing except the fact the keys have been painted over and what’s underneath doesn’t match what was painted on, it’s a shame, because the laptop literally works so well and looked so nice

I'm so happy. The thinkpad came with the 'new device' smell XD Was well packaged and tho the device itself was a bit scuffed on the case I've had no problems with using it. Was a bit of a pain getting windows how I like it, but since I got that sorted out its been a joy to work on.

first couple of days there was a mouse glitch that i didn't understand (couldnt click on lists/drop down menus; had to use tab key and enter) but that's gone away now thankfully. otherwise great product, looks new and good battery life
