The Lenovo laptop was delivered earlier than expected, in excellent condition for a refurbished computer and was very easy to set up. It is used lightly, mainly with social media so it is most satisfactory especially for the price.

This new laptop is exactly what I needed, and I got it for a fraction of the competitors' prices. I guess it has been refurbished, but I would never know if they didn't tell me. Top-notch service and competitive prices will keep me coming back.

Very happy with my refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T480S. I haven't had a computer in years, and is taking some getting used to. But overall it works great, is in pretty good condition, good price, and shipping was fast. I've bought a few android phones and now a laptop from backmarket and have had a great experience every time. I will continue to buy from backmarket, every time the wife or kids break a phone.

Fantastic! After some negative experience with another vendor (Regadget LLC) who sent me an "excellent" notebook with different (less performant) specs and vinyl glued over the actual less than "excellent" condition, I now received a truly excellent notebook that is worth its description. Actually it looks, feels and behaves like new! Whenever I am buying another piece of hardware on backmarket, I'll make sure to buy from BuyRefurbished!

Physically, the laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad T495) is like new. However, it does freeze up at times (it can't handle much happening at once) and and has to be shut down to fix. The battery lasts about 2 hours depending on what I'm doing. This is my first laptop, so I don't know what is normal, but it seems decent for what I wanted for casual studying.

I needed a laptop but was on a tight budget, so I took a chance on this refurbished Lenovo, and I am glad that I did. All in, with a 2-year warranty, I paid less than $300.00 for what is essentially a brand-new laptop. Cosmetically, there is no indication that this machine has been used, and it works flawlessly. Also, it shipped shockingly quick. I ordered just prior to Christmas, with no expectation that it would arrive prior to the holiday, and it arrived within 2-days. Definitely a great first experience with BackMarket!

Quick summary: • Delivered faster than estimated • Packaged securely • Laptop overall was as expected (Purchased as: 'Excellent' from, 'BuyRefurbished') Notable additions: For a refurbished item, this was great. I've never thought positively of fixed things, nor ever bought an item that was expensive that is fixed. Back Market has me thinking now. Only has a small area at the bottom that is scratched and the cover around the logo on the back screen of it is lifting a bit. All physical—internally, seems fine. Ending: I'd highly recommend not spending so much on a brand new item, Back Market is very suitable. Everything is new when it's new to you.

ThinkPad is working quite well- would not think it was reconditioned - very responsive fast internet and easy set up - shipping was on time and tracking easy- would recommend the product for a travel computer and the company for delivery

i was skeptical about the laptop before i bought it because i’ve never bought refurbished tech before, but i can genuinely say i love this laptop. it has high speeds, it’s not super heavy for its size, the LED keyboard displays helps in the dark, and it’s very customizable. i’d recommend it to anyone! it’s great for school or casual use!

I really like the deal I got out of the laptop for it's price the only con I'm having is the battery life. I believe it to be a Lenovo problem as I've seen many complaints online about it. The battery drains quite fast for a laptop promising to have over 12 hours of battery life. Overall, the laptop came in quite quickly and in good condition.

We have some really awesome deals on Lenovo laptops, and since all of our Lenovo laptops are refurbished by professionals, they’re just as durable and trustworthy as new devices but come at only a fraction of the cost. That’s a good thing, especially if you’re trying to get a laptop on a budget. Don’t fully trust our quality? Everything on our website, including these deals on Lenovo laptops, come with a 1-year warranty and 30-day money back guarantee. And did we mention that all our products in the US come with free shipping? We offer the best deal on a Lenovo ThinkPad.
Yes… Lenovos are good laptops, but if you don’t trust us on that, feel free to try one out! We offer a 30-day money back guarantee on all our products! But in all seriousness, there’s a reason why Lenovos are the go-to business laptop of choice, and it’s because of their durability. Lenovo laptops are really well built, and that means you’re getting a refurbished laptop that will keep performing for many years to come.
If you’re looking to buy an affordable Lenovo laptop, we’d suggest buying a refurbished X1 Carbon. This is an awesome laptop because it’s thin, powerful, and sturdy. It’s a direct competitor to Dell’s XPS series, and it’s easier to find a good deal on a used X1 Carbon. Just don’t get one that’s older than 5 years if you still want it to feel super quick. Refurbished Lenovo laptops are known for being some of the sturdiest laptops on the market, and the refurbished X1 Carbon is one of our favorites.
If you want a refurbished hybrid laptop that can also be used as a tablet, consider getting a refurbished Lenovo Yoga series device. These have a keyboard that can bend back behind the screen.
But maybe these two suggested models aren’t what you’re looking for. And that’s totally fine. There are a ton of different refurbished ThinkPad models that are really great laptops, just make sure you don’t buy one that’s more than 5 years old if you plan to be using it heavily every day.
We’re not going to say that refurbished Lenovo laptops are the best laptops for everyone, but if you’re looking for a laptop that’s dependable yet affordable, then this may be the best laptop brand for you. And that’s great news for students, parents, and business professionals on a budget.
Lenovos are generally known for having better build quality than Acer computers, but may be slightly more expensive. If you want to find the best deal on a laptop, look at a few brands and compare the specs you see in different models.
We believe we’re the best place to buy a cheap Lenovo laptop because of the fact that we have the best deals on refurbished laptops. Just remember not to get a laptop that’s too cheap, if you find a cheap ThinkPad that’s more than 5 years old, chances are that it may already be starting to feel a little sluggish and may be noticeably slower than a newer ThinkPad.
If you want to find a ThinkPad for sale and are willing to get a device that has been used and refurbished, then you’re in luck. We have some of the best deals on ThinkPads by Lenovo.
