I’ll be the first to admit I was incredibly nervous about ordering a refurbished laptop. Buying tech online can feel like a gamble, and I spent quite a bit of time debating whether or not to pull the trigger. After seeing the 5-star rating and the warranty included, I finally decided to go for it, and I am so incredibly happy that I did! The listing rated the condition as "Good," but honestly, if you told me this was a brand-new machine straight out of the box, I would believe you. It is absolutely flawless no scratches, no scuffs, and it runs like a dream. The Ryzen 7 Pro and 32GB of RAM make it a powerhouse for all my management tasks and spreadsheets. Having that warranty really eased my anxiety and gave me the peace of mind I needed to make the purchase. To whoever refurbished and prepped this device for me: thank you so much! You are awesome and clearly take pride in your work. If you're on the fence about buying, just do it. This exceeded every expectation I had!

It looks and works like new. I had one of these through my employer for the past couple of years and I worked it hard. Earlier this month the agency updated our equipment, so it has been replaced with a new EliteBook model as the agency rolled out new equipment and updated everything to Windows 11 Enterprise with Windows 10 support ending earlier this month. However, I was in need of a quality Windows 11 capable machine for home. I figured I could score a decent example of the 840 G8 on the aftermarket, and voila! I did just that through Back Market for about 1/5 the price it cost when it was new. These things new are very expensive, and unlike my employer, I do not need the latest and greatest, just something that is still supported and works well for basic office tasks. I really like the form factor and the speakers, and believe it or not, even the 16:9 ratio screen size. Being familiar with the machine through my employer made the choice easy because I know how it works and what it can do. We also have the HP G5 docks at work, and they too work great for those desktop comforts, including dual monitor support, keyboard, mouse, power, and more, all through one Thunderbolt 4 USB-C connection to the dock. So I scored a used one on eBay for half of what they cost new and it adds those desktop comforts at home with easy connectivity and similarity to my work office set up, albeit with second-hand equipment. It makes it easy to switch out my 840 G8 with my new work laptop when I am working from home, and it simply works. The only thing I did was upgrade the RAM from 16 GB to 32 GB, as upgradability is the name of the game with this laptop. A solid choice for a great looking and performing laptop at a fraction of the cost of a new one. For those thinking about it, please keep in mind it is not a gaming laptop as it only has the integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics with 1.5 GB of VRAM. It can play some basic games but that was not the intent of the machine. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my Back Market purchase through IT Replay, the refurbisher who sold me the laptop. Great work from IT Replay on the high-quality laptop and equally impressive shipping/packaging, and great work from Back Market for the platform to make the purchase quick and easy. Thank you all!

You probably could have sold this laptop as good+ condition. It just needed cleaned. There were literally no scratches or dents just black lines that seemed to have transfered from something else. Also the finish appeared sun damaged (it was just dirt!) I just used water and a microfiber and it looks like a brand new laptop. Thanks for the great deal! Maybe clean your products better?

Everything works smoothly and I like it a lot (it’s my first laptop). I think the features are pretty cool too. There are a few minor dents, but nothing crazy to the eye (as expected because I chose the good condition so im not upset about it). Also, I did run into an issue with the taskbar (my search bar and windows wasn’t able to work) and found out that the initial installation and updates hadn't finished correctly which was why it was a little off at first. If you run into this, don't force a hard restart on the whole laptop immediately, as it could make the issue worse. What worked for me was restarting the installation process, letting it finish, and then restarting the laptop to complete the setup. Overall from purchase down to the quick delivery, my first experience was very well! Thank you Tekhouz Solutions LLC!

The order process was smooth and easy as was payment. The shipping was very fast and I was kept up to date on when to expect the package. The unit was packed well but without too much waste. And the laptop was in better condition than I expected given the listing of Fair. Unit was ready to set up Windows and functioning as it should. I installed Linux instead of Windows and am very pleased with the results. I've recommend to a colleague that this is the way to order a "new" laptop. I've had an extremely positive experience.

Refurbished doesn't mean broken: these laptops are tested, repaired, and cleaned before they reach you.
Many refurbished laptops on Back Market are compatible with Windows 11, including models like the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 G3, HP EliteBook 840 G8, and Dell Latitude 5430. Some older models may ship with Windows 10, which reached the end of Microsoft support in October 2025. Always check individual listings for the OS version before purchasing.
Refurbished and used aren't the same thing. Here's what sets them apart:
Used: sold as-is by the previous owner, with no inspection or warranty
Refurbished: professionally tested, repaired if needed, cleaned, and graded before resale. This is what we do at Back Market !
For a broader look at how refurbished works, check our refurbished laptop buying guide.
Yes. Enterprise-grade models like the Dell Latitude, Lenovo ThinkPad, and HP EliteBook were originally designed for professional use and handle documents, video calls, email, and spreadsheets without issue.

It is. Manufacturing accounts for roughly 77% of a laptop's total carbon footprint — and buying refurbished means that production cost is bypassed entirely. Based on Back Market's calculations from the ADEME 2022 study, choosing a refurbished laptop generates up to 89% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to buying new, and avoids 98% of the e-waste a new laptop would create. Since 2014, Back Market has helped avoid 2.2 million tons of CO2e through refurbished device sales.

What to expect from a refurbished Windows laptop ?

Refurbished Windows laptops give you the full Windows experience at a fraction of the cost of buying new. On Back Market, you'll find over 100 models from the brands that matter most — Dell Latitude, HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad, and Microsoft Surface — starting from $238. Whether you need a compact ultrabook for travel, a business workhorse for heavy multitasking, or a reliable everyday laptop for work and study, there's a Windows option here for every use case.

Models running Windows 11 and Windows 10 are both available. Newer models like the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 G3, HP EliteBook 840 G8, and Dell Latitude 5430 come Windows 11-ready, while older generations running Windows 10 remain solid performers for everyday productivity tasks. Use the filters on the page to sort by processor type, RAM, screen size, and brand to find exactly what you need.

Every laptop sold through Back Market has been professionally inspected by a certified seller and graded for quality. Grades range from Fair to Excellent — cosmetic differences only, never a reflection of how the device performs.
