Solid Refurbished MacBook Air - A Great Value on Back Market I recently purchased a refurbished MacBook Air Retina 13-inch (2020) from Back Market with the Core i3 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, listed in "Good" condition. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and feel like I got a great deal. The Good: * Price: This was the biggest selling point. Compared to buying a brand new MacBook Air, I saved a significant amount of money. Back Market's pricing for refurbished electronics is definitely competitive. * Performance: The i3 processor, coupled with 16GB of RAM and the speedy SSD, handles my daily tasks with ease. I use it for web browsing, email, document creation, light photo editing, and even some occasional coding. It's responsive and doesn't lag. * Condition: My MacBook Air arrived in better condition than I expected for a "Good" rating. There were a couple of very minor cosmetic blemishes, barely noticeable, and certainly nothing that impacts functionality. The screen was perfect. * Battery Life: The battery health is surprisingly good. I'm getting close to the advertised battery life for this model, which is impressive for a refurbished machi...

Thank you so much! The MacBook is in perfect condition and looks brand new. This was an incredible deal and an amazing price.

I wasn’t sure how to feel about a refurbished laptop; I head great reviews from friends and the internet, so I figured ✅. My bank locked my card, bc I don’t frequently spend hundreds of dollars in 1 transaction— they said BackMarket is reputable. ✅✅. I opened up my laptop today, 05/27. Love it!! Exactly as described, if not better. No issues yet.

Ordering and delivery were great. I was definitely hesitant ordering refurbished, but overall it’s been a good experience. Took a gamble with getting a “good” condition and so far I’ve only found a couple of things. The right click button doesn’t seem to work and the speakers only seem to work on the left side. It works Overall it is a great deal and wonderful way to get a good product. Will likely buy again

I'm not a fan of refurbished items, but my 14 year old MacBookAir needed a new battery. I spoke with a tech repair man who advised me to go to Back Market and buy a refurbished Mac. He advised that this company has never let him down. I'm an elderly lady and not tech savy at all. Their company made it easy to understand RAM's and the like. I know nothing about the workings of the hardware in a computer. This company, Back Market made it very easy for me to understand and to quickly purchase what I needed. The computer was shipped quickly and it was like brand new. It has been wonderful to work on. Thank you Back Market. I will use them again.
