I am highly satisfied with my MacBook Air and will most certainly return for the purchase of other items! Product was refurbished, but you could not tell it at all. No dings, no scratches, works great, long battery life and came with a new charger and cube! A+++

I’m very happy with this refurbished MacBook Air. I ordered it in “good” condition, but it arrived looking much better than expected—honestly closer to excellent. There were minimal to no visible signs of wear, and everything works perfectly. The packaging was secure and well done, so it arrived safely without any issues during shipping. Setup was smooth, and performance has been exactly what I hoped for. Overall, this was a great value and a very positive refurbished purchase experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy refurbished again based on this experience

So I ordered this because I originally needed a new laptop and I'm very impressed. I just wanted to have something to work on that was more updated and new. I loveeeeeee my laptop. It came in really good condition , no scratches , no marks , no problems at all. I would def recommend getting this if you're looking for a laptop to do business on. I'm a restaurant manager so this comes in clutch for my meetings , emails , and other work. :)

I ordered a refurbished MacBook from Amazon but it wasn’t working so I returned it. I then found BackMarket and decided to take a chance and order another one from here…and I’m definitely glad I did. The buying and shipping process was quick and easy. My MacBook looked basically brand new and I had no trouble setting it up. The only “issue” I have is that the battery doesn’t last super long, but it works for what I need it for, that’s the reason for the 4/5 star. Overall I’m highly satisfied with my purchase.

Honestly, I wasn’t hopeful at all, but it arrived in amazing condition. When I ordered the fair version, I had already prepared myself for scratches on the screen or damage on the outside. Instead, there were no scratches or damage whatsoever. I was genuinely surprised.
