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!

For what I paid for, this device is outstanding. Arrived with 85% battery health which isn’t bad for a machine more than 4 years old. Additionally, the way Apple made these devices it feels worth way more than what I paid for it. I needed a replacement for my 13” m1 with a cracked screen that I could only use hooked up to an external monitor. This has been the perfect replacement without having to go brand new. I will probably continue the refurbished route because the value is undeniable, no complaints here.

I’m extremely happy with this MacBook Pro. It arrived in excellent condition and looked almost brand new, with no noticeable signs of wear. The setup process was quick and easy, and the performance has been smooth and reliable for everything I use it for. The battery life is great, the screen looks fantastic, and the device matched the description perfectly. Overall, this was a great value and an excellent experience. I would definitely purchase from Back Market again.

So far I've had an exceptional experience with Back Market and Omaha Blue. Like other reviewers, I was somewhat hesitant to purchase a refurbished machine, but the no-hassle return policy, included 1-year warranty, and reputation of Omaha Blue nudged me to give it a shot. I got the exact spec machine that I was looking for. Due to my budget, I opted for Fair condition. Many other reviewers had indicated that their "Fair" devices arrived in great shape. This was my experience as well. Couple of very minor scratches, otherwise exterior looks largely like new. Screen is immaculate. Keyboard is in fantastic shape - minimal shine on some of the keys (completely acceptable for a 2021 device). Battery at 90% with only 346 cycles. Just for good measure, I ran all system diagnostics and everything came up green. I've been using this machine for roughly three weeks and so far, it has performed flawlessly. Will definitely return to Back Market and Omaha Blue for future MacBook purchases.

Honestly I was a little hesitant ordering a referbished mac book pro off here. Only because I just had a not so good experience trying to order one through Amazon. I am more then pleased with my Mac book pro. It has a small amount of wear and tear but over all looks like brand new. Battery has 93% which is amazing for a 2021 computer. I found out that they replaced the screen on the computer and that must of been the reason for the refurbished. They used Apple parts for it. I would say order from here I had a great experience.

Fantastic purchase. The MacBook Pro arrived in excellent condition and exceeded my expectations. It is fast, quiet, and powerful.

The new MacBook Pro is a big upgrade from my old 2016 13" one. It came promptly and setup was mostly a breeze. Old issues from iCloud keychain being tied up with an old laptop for authentication was a pain, but I was finally able to disentangle that. No issues from the new hardware there, just known issues relating to Apple systems. It feels snappy with all the apps I use so far, and I think I've worked out most of the new quirks from more recent macOS version. Looks and feels great. Thanks!

Incredible machine. The MacBook Pro M1 Pro still proves why Apple changed the game with these chips. Fast, silent, efficient, and with a stunning display. It feels like a serious work tool, not just a laptop. After using it, you understand why so many people still recommend this model even years later.
