I’m very happy with my purchase of the MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021, M1) from Omaha Blue. The laptop arrived in excellent condition. It looks almost like new, works perfectly, and the performance is outstanding. The packaging was secure, and delivery was smooth. Thank you to the seller for the professionalism and quality of service. I truly appreciate the care taken with this order. I would definitely recommend Omaha Blue and would not hesitate to buy from them again.

This MacBook Pro is in very good condition! I’m impressed. I can’t find any scratches or scuffs. Keyboard is free from debris and everything is in working order. I did not expect it to be this pristine! Thank you! This was a replacement for my another MacBook Pro that I had since 2021. Great job! 👏🏾

Outstanding! The MacBook Pro arrived quickly, which was important to me. It met my visual inspection with 5 stars. What a beautiful device. Any blemishes are so small that they are practically invisible. The OS is great as well. I was sorely in need of jumping off a 2019 iMac, which I also bought here. It just does not have the processing strength to keep up with my computing needs. This Mac is fast, has beautiful graphics, and is simply one of the best purchases I have made.. Thanks for the great selection and amazing prices.

Mine looking brand new! 366 battery cycle and 86% battery health. Shipping was quick too. Love the size too - I used to have a 16inch MacBook Pro and that was way too heavy for me. This is a much better fit. Would definitely purchase from here again.

⭐ My Personal Review – MacBook Pro 16-inch (2019) I absolutely love this MacBook Pro. It’s the 2019 16-inch model, but it was actually bought in 2021, so I ended up getting a much newer-condition MacBook than expected. I got it at a very good price, and the condition is honestly close to brand new. There are no scratches, the body looks flawless, and the battery health is still around 90%, which is excellent for an Intel MacBook. The screen quality is outstanding — sharp, bright, and color-accurate. In fact, I personally feel the display looks better than my brand-new M1 MacBook Air. Everything feels premium and solid, just like a true Pro machine. Performance-wise, it has been rock solid: No heating issues No loud fan noise Smooth multitasking excellent overall stability For my daily use, it actually feels more comfortable and powerful than my M1 MacBook Air, especially with the larger screen and better speakers. Overall, this MacBook feels almost brand new, works flawlessly, and delivers a true professional experience. Getting this level of quality, performance, and condition at a great price makes it an excellent value even today. I’m genuinely very happy with this purchase.

Received 'good' condition and I don't see any flaws. It came with an after market charger cord and usb that are mismatched but I already have plenty of chargers so no issue with it. I don't see any flaws anywhere personally. Keyboard is tested, max capacity is 86% and battery cycles around 250. I appreciate spending a little bit more for the back market warranty and would definitely recommend based on my experience. I purchased to use as a dedicated computer for a new business I'm starting up and was nostalgic for the 2020 MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar so I'm so happy to have this!

I’m a long-time BackMarket customer, and once again they’ve delivered another great buy. Before purchasing, I even ran the specs through ChatGPT to confirm value — and spec to spec, BackMarket really does offer the best bang for the buck. This MacBook Pro (pre-2020 upgrade) has wowed me with its performance. Processing speeds are excellent, no crashes to date, and the seamless integration with my Apple Watch and iPhone 16 Pro has given me the final piece I needed to become the Workflow Automator I’ve been aiming to be. The physical condition was exactly as described — so clean you’d need a magnifying glass to spot any flaws. Honest descriptions, solid components, and a machine that will hold me steady for years to come. Deeply satisfied. Will continue to purchase tech her. Thank you BackMarket, also appreciate the 1 year warranty. Kudos!
