I was a little nervous ordering a “Fair” condition refurbished MacBook Air, but this purchase exceeded my expectations. I purchased a 2025 MacBook Air M4 with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD for $876, and when it arrived it looked almost flawless. The screen, keyboard, trackpad, and exterior were all in excellent condition with only the slightest signs of use. Honestly, I would not have guessed this was graded as “Fair.” The battery was another pleasant surprise. The laptop arrived with only 32 battery cycles, 100% maximum battery capacity, and a normal battery condition. It feels very close to a brand-new machine. Most importantly, the specifications matched exactly what was advertised: 2025 MacBook Air, Apple M4 chip, and 16GB of memory. Setup was easy, performance is incredibly fast, and the upgrade from my 2015 MacBook Air has been dramatic. Based on my experience, I would absolutely buy from Back Market again. Great value, accurate description, and a product that exceeded my expectations.

I LOVE ITTTTTT i originally ordered a 2022 macbook pro in ‘excellent’ condition off amazon. huge mistake. not only was it was scratched really bad, but the listing was incorrect. i received a macbook with half the storage than i ordered. i decided to try out backmarket for the first time instead and i will be telling everyone to come here for refurbished, used/older products. this macbook is in perfect condition. PERFECT. not a single scratch, the battery capacity is at 100% and the charging cycles when i received it was at 10. it was used and charged a total of 10 times. what an insane deal. i was shocked when i saw how perfect this thing is. i ordered it in excellent condition and it delivered just as that. it came in the original box with the original charger and charging brick. shipping was fast, placed the order on thursday and it delivered monday. if it wasn’t for the weekend it would of came in 2 days via fedex. customer service responded to be as soon as possible regarding shipping and they even followed up with me to make sure i received the product. if you’re on the fence about ordering from this website do it. you will not regret it.

Super Excellet. 😊 This was my very first time buying from this company, and I’ll admit I was a little skeptical at first about going the refurbished route. I was upgrading from my old mid-2014 13-inch MacBook Pro, so I decided to go with the 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip, 32GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. I wanted to be 100% sincere in my feedback, so I gave it a good month of heavy use before writing this. Honestly, the quality is outstanding! It arrived on time, well-packaged, and looked pristine—I found zero scratches on it. Even though it had 333 battery cycles, the battery health is great, and it performs like a brand-new machine. I am really enjoying this upgrade and truly appreciate the quality I received!

I ordered a 'premium' condition Macbook Pro, and the whole experience was indeed *premium*. The machine arrived on time and in good shape and turned out to be an Apple refurbished computer with only 7 cycles on the battery and an active AppleCare+ subscription. As far as I can tell it is effectively brand new and all wearable parts never used at all. I couldn't be happier!

This MacBook was great it was exactly what I wanted and the reason why I bought it to begin with. I traded my old MacBook Pro for this MacBook Air because my pro would make a lot of noice when I would do anything it would sound like it was flying away which is why I decided to start college with a new MacBook. This MacBook Air has not disappointed me yet, it’s quick and reliable and well as quiet which is exactly what I’m looking for in a college setting.

Why buy a refurbished or used MacBook?

A refurbished MacBook is a used Mac that's been professionally inspected, repaired, cleaned, and tested to meet strict quality standards. That's the key difference between buying refurbished and picking up a random used MacBook Air or MacBook Pro from an unverified listing with no protections.

On Back Market, every refurbished MacBook goes through a full diagnostic check by certified professionals. Parts that don't pass are replaced. Software is wiped and reset. You get a machine that works, at a price that makes sense.

The environmental case is solid, too. Buying a refurbished laptop instead of a new one avoids an estimated 149 kg of CO2 per device, based on Back Market's methodology. That's the carbon cost of manufacturing, skipped entirely.

Cheap MacBooks: how much can you save?

Refurbished MacBooks on Back Market start at $122 and go up to $2,000+, depending on the model and condition. Here's a quick breakdown:

Budget (under $400): Used MacBook Air 2015–2019 models. Perfect for everyday tasks, web browsing, and documents.
Mid-range ($400–$800): Refurbished MacBook Air M1 from $361, MacBook Pro M2 from $632. Fully capable for creative and professional work.
High-end ($800+): MacBook Air M3, MacBook Pro M3, and M4 series for users who want the latest Apple silicon at a fraction of the new price.

Every tier delivers savings of 30–$70% off compared to buying new. You set the budget, we've got the certified used Mac laptop to match.

What to expect from a used Mac laptop

Back Market grades every used MacBook on cosmetic condition, not performance. Whatever the grade, every device is 100% functional. Here's what each condition means:

Fair: Visible signs of wear. Works perfectly. Best value for budget-conscious buyers.
Good: Minor scratches not visible when the screen is on. The most popular choice.
Excellent: Near-flawless condition, with only the faintest signs of a previous life.
Premium: As close to new as refurbished gets, with top cosmetic and battery standards.

Every condition grade comes with the same 1-year commercial warranty and 30-day return window.

Order online: refurbished MacBooks delivered across the US

Back Market is the best place to buy a certified refurbished or used MacBook in the US. We specialize exclusively in refurbished tech, and every seller on our marketplace goes through a strict vetting process before listing a single device.

Order online and get your refurbished MacBook delivered anywhere in the US with free standard shipping. No need to track down used Macs locally or gamble on an unverified listing. Back Market ships nationwide, and every order is protected by a 1-year commercial warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
