Verified purchasePleasantly surprised at the quality of this refurb. I've had bad luck with refurbs purchased elsewhere in the past but everything I've tested on this unit works fine and it looks brand new. the only way you could tell it's a refurb is somebody dropped a couple of food crumbs in the keyboard. Easily fixed. 😅 I would definitely do business here again. Thank you!

Verified purchaseThis is a great little laptop. My daughter has a disability and this laptop is very easy for her to use. Even myself as an adult started to enjoy using Chromebooks because of the ease of them. I already purchased two Chromebooks from Back Market previously. We love the ease of Chromebook’s compared to other laptops. All three Chromebooks purchased have all been in excellent shape. This new Lenovo N23 Chromebook seems to be the best one of all the 3 purchased. It has great accessibility features. Thank You! Back Market for selling such high quality refurbished electronics.

Verified purchaseI purchased two refurbished chromebooks for my classroom (got tired of the kids excuses about why they couldn’t complete their work at home) and was able to get the IT guy to set it up so that we could use them on the school wifi. It’s been working out great so far. Only thing is connecting to the wifi has been an issue lately, but I do think the cause of it are the devices. Going to bring the IT guy back in to reset or fix that issue and the computers will once again be good as new!

Verified purchaseMy experience with the Refurbished Lenovo Chromebook N222-20 has been pretty good. I have recently been having some problems with some of the numbers not working on the keyboard but all in all, I would recommend.

Verified purchaseThe look of the Chromebook is great as well as the quality of it. Back Market does a great job with the folks they work with to refurbish the products they sell. I really like the processing speed of the computer.

Verified purchaseHere is my review. I have none as of yet. I buy these devices for senior apartment complexes residents that can't afford a laptop. I do recommend Back market for refurbished electronics due to return and warranty period.

Verified purchaseEvery couple of years when I need a new Chromebook I've turned to Back market, and have recommended it many times to people. I'm a simple person with only a simple means and need only simple devices. This company hasn't let me down for 5-6 years since I started using they're services.

Verified purchaseFine condition, and it's a great choice for an EOL Chromebook to run Linux. The device itself is a thing of beauty -- it's modular, quite easy to swap components, and well thought out by the original product designer. It's just an old Chromebook, intended for a low spec school computer or institutional deployment, but it's a worthy piece of equipment.

Verified purchaseCouldn't be happier with the purchase. Great condition, especially for the value. Received quicker than estimated shipping, and able to track the package the entire way. Back market definitely gained a repeat customer
