The experience has been great. Quick service. While I understand this is a refurbished product, there are a few flaws such as a crack near the top seam, the first of two USB-C ports is non functional, and one of my key caps is detached from the key. However, for the price, perfection can’t be expected. It works for what I need!

I was initially super nervous about ordering since I've had no experience with refurbished tech, but my order arrived early and was in top-tier shape. I ordered "good" quality, but the product was like new, except for a little dust under the screen. Would buy again!

My son is very happy cannot express how he feels with the laptop, you can see it in his face. He looked at it when he got home and said wow dad this looks brand new for a refurbish MacBook Air. The only negative of it, it is a little sticky on the top of the screen other than that it’s perfect for a fair MacBook. Will continue to purchase more from back market…

A FEW tiny, barely noticeable scratches on the outer surface. But the screen was in perfect condition and it runs extremely well! They even offered to help me set it up! So pleased with this refurbisher and Back Market!

I have never bought a laptop before, much less a refurbished one, so I was very nervous about ordering but I have been very very happy with my purchase!! I bought my 2019 MacBook air in excellent condition and it is perfect! There are two very tiny dents on the edge but that is not an issue for me at all! I love it and I will order again in the future and recommend Back Market to my friends and family!
