    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+++

    This is my 5th device purchased from Back Market and what a terrific refurbisher! This MacBook Air is a good machine. However, it was marked "excellent condition," but it was not as flawless previous devices I've purchased from BM. There were minor scratches on the screen, minor scratches on the lid, and about 6 of the keys are well worn and very shiny due to use. Assuredly, not in excellent condition by Back Market standards. However, with the purchase of a plastic cover and a thin keyboard cover, the problem is not visible.

    I was skeptical about buying refurbished items as I had a bad experience a few years ago(not from back market though), but I have to say everything works great! I got excellent condition and it literally came as if it’s new out of the box. The charger was a bit dirty so I had to wipe it down, and the only thing bad about the computer is it dies rather quickly and it can be slow to load at times. Other than that I love it! Would recommend.

    Love this thing, a little slow but it is an intel mac. Download “mac’s fan control” it’s a must have with this it’s so perfect. I got mine in good condition it was a little sticky i guess and a tad bit dusty but a microfiber cloth fixed it. There are some scratches on the apple logo on the back. But everything works good. Fast shipping, good price!

    When I received the MacBook I was very impressed. It looked brand new. The only thing that gave it away was the packaging lol. You can’t tell it was refurbished and my valentine thought I spent over a grand.
