Ordered a Dell Latitude 5520 for my wife and Back Market knocked it out of the park from start to finish. Every step happened exactly when and how they said it would - no surprises, no delays, just smooth sailing. The laptop showed up in premium condition and my wife has been showing it off ever since, bragging to everyone about how fast it runs. We are absolutely coming back to Back Market for our next purchase - highly recommend!

Had my computer for a week now and I LOVE it! Shipping was extremely fast, I received my order 2 days after purchasing. I purchased this to use for work and I have not been disappointed. I used chatGPT to help decide which was the best computer for my needs and it also let me submit the link and confirmed that this was a a good fit for the price. There aren’t any scratches/blemishes anywhere, this is really a brand new computer. This is my 2nd purchase off Back Market, first was back in 2023, and have not had any issues.

I’ll be the first to admit I was incredibly nervous about ordering a refurbished laptop. Buying tech online can feel like a gamble, and I spent quite a bit of time debating whether or not to pull the trigger. After seeing the 5-star rating and the warranty included, I finally decided to go for it, and I am so incredibly happy that I did! The listing rated the condition as "Good," but honestly, if you told me this was a brand-new machine straight out of the box, I would believe you. It is absolutely flawless no scratches, no scuffs, and it runs like a dream. The Ryzen 7 Pro and 32GB of RAM make it a powerhouse for all my management tasks and spreadsheets. Having that warranty really eased my anxiety and gave me the peace of mind I needed to make the purchase. To whoever refurbished and prepped this device for me: thank you so much! You are awesome and clearly take pride in your work. If you're on the fence about buying, just do it. This exceeded every expectation I had!

It looks and works like new. I had one of these through my employer for the past couple of years and I worked it hard. Earlier this month the agency updated our equipment, so it has been replaced with a new EliteBook model as the agency rolled out new equipment and updated everything to Windows 11 Enterprise with Windows 10 support ending earlier this month. However, I was in need of a quality Windows 11 capable machine for home. I figured I could score a decent example of the 840 G8 on the aftermarket, and voila! I did just that through Back Market for about 1/5 the price it cost when it was new. These things new are very expensive, and unlike my employer, I do not need the latest and greatest, just something that is still supported and works well for basic office tasks. I really like the form factor and the speakers, and believe it or not, even the 16:9 ratio screen size. Being familiar with the machine through my employer made the choice easy because I know how it works and what it can do. We also have the HP G5 docks at work, and they too work great for those desktop comforts, including dual monitor support, keyboard, mouse, power, and more, all through one Thunderbolt 4 USB-C connection to the dock. So I scored a used one on eBay for half of what they cost new and it adds those desktop comforts at home with easy connectivity and similarity to my work office set up, albeit with second-hand equipment. It makes it easy to switch out my 840 G8 with my new work laptop when I am working from home, and it simply works. The only thing I did was upgrade the RAM from 16 GB to 32 GB, as upgradability is the name of the game with this laptop. A solid choice for a great looking and performing laptop at a fraction of the cost of a new one. For those thinking about it, please keep in mind it is not a gaming laptop as it only has the integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics with 1.5 GB of VRAM. It can play some basic games but that was not the intent of the machine. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my Back Market purchase through IT Replay, the refurbisher who sold me the laptop. Great work from IT Replay on the high-quality laptop and equally impressive shipping/packaging, and great work from Back Market for the platform to make the purchase quick and easy. Thank you all!
