I bought this refurbished Macbook Air on Christmas Eve two years ago and it is still working. I'm so happy with this purchase. I give a 4/5 rating due to the cosmetic scratches that don't affect performance but are an eyesore no question.

I bought this Macbook Air for my daughter in university. After a brief adjustment period of going from PC world to a Mac, she is very happy with it. It has been refurbished to as close as new as possible. It is clean and does not show it's age (2017). It more than suits her needs for school. It came as described and the price was great. A very good used Mac!

Great idea to purchase this refurbished MacBook Air from Back Market. In my eyes pristine. Works perfect and performs the tasks that I purchased it for. Absolutely no reason to buy a new one unless the exact specs you need can only be found new. Refurbished is the way to go. Thanks BackMarket.

My early 2015 11” MacBook Air has been my all time favorite laptop but after eight years of full time use its keyboard finally gave out. Fortunately, for the same price I’d pay to have it repaired, I was able to buy a nearly identical model here with twice the original’s 4GB RAM, in such pristine condition I feel like I just bought a brand new unit at 1/4th the price a new unit originally cost. Kudos to you and the refurbishers you work with.

Another great purchase from Back Market :). I’ve ordered multiple iPads from Back Market previously; this was my first laptop purchase. As expected, the MacBook Air was delivered extremely quickly — within 1 day of purchase (actually faster than expected!). Safely packaged. MacBook Air came in the original Apple box (though the Apple box did have a big white sticker label — which made it clear it wasn’t brand new). MacBook Air was in great condition as promised. No issues setting it up. Back Market has repeatedly delivered great products to me. As someone who loves to buy products refurbished to save some money, Back Market is a site I look forward to continue using!

Frequently Asked Questions about the MacBook Air M1


What is the M1 chip, and how does it differ from previous MacBook processors?

The M1 chip is a custom-designed processor made by Apple, specifically for use in their Mac computers. It is the first processor to use ARM-based architecture, which is different from the Intel-based processors used in previous MacBook models. The M1 chip offers improved performance, energy efficiency, and battery life compared to previous processors, as well as allowing for features such as instant wake from sleep. The M1 is only topped by Apple's second generation chip, the M2 processor.


What is the battery life on the MacBook Air M1?

The MacBook Air M1 offers impressive battery life, with Apple claiming up to 18 hours of web browsing or up to 15 hours of video playback on a single charge. This is due in part to the energy efficiency of the M1 chip, as well as other optimizations made by Apple.


Can the MacBook Air M1 run professional-grade software?

Yes, the MacBook Air M1 is capable of running professional-grade software such as Adobe Photoshop and Final Cut Pro. The M1 chip offers improved performance compared to previous MacBook models, and software developers are continuing to optimize their apps to take advantage of the new architecture.


Can the MacBook Air M1 run Windows or other operating systems?

The MacBook Air M1 is not able to run Windows or other operating systems natively, as they are not designed to work with the ARM-based architecture of the M1 chip. However, it is possible to use virtualization software such as Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion to run Windows or other operating systems on the MacBook Air M1, albeit with some limitations. Additionally, some software may not be compatible with the M1 chip, so it is important to check compatibility before making a purchase.


Deciding on your next MacBook purchase

If you've already decided that you're going to purchase a MacBook with the impressive M1 chip, then you might need some help deciding between the MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro. In general, you'll want to choose the model that best suits you, but our guide can better help you decide.
