I really appreciated the super fast shipping. The MacBook Air looks practically brand new, functions well, and has a great battery life. It was listed as “fair” condition, but would consider it “good.” I’m very pleased and will come back to Back Market for any other computing needs I may have in the future. Thanks!

Thank you so much! The MacBook is in perfect condition and looks brand new. This was an incredible deal and an amazing price. As a senior college student, having my MacBook break down unexpectedly is a nightmare! I am incredibly grateful to this seller for selling the MacBook at a great and affordable price. The shipping was super fast, and I highly recommend this seller! THANK YOU AGAIN! NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES

This Mac is literally perfect for an upcoming college student. I not found a tiny scratch on the front of it, but it’s not that noticeable. The fan is also a little loud, but it comes with the territory. Other than the small things I’m talking about, it runs very smoothly. I’m literally typing this out on the phone mirroring app right now T-T. The refurbisher did a really good job with this. Thank you!

First time ever buying something refurbished and to be honest this was a 10/10 experience. Ordered Wednesday and it came Friday before I had to leave for work so I got to enjoy it a little. Has two MINOR imperfections that’s worth the $300 I paid. If you’re thinking about buying just do it. It’s definitely legit and worth every penny!

MacBook Air which was rated as “fair” has to be part of a very hard rating system. Device was in near perfect condition. There is no question that I will be using Back Market again. Highly recommended…

Great! Still a bit gobsmacked that once I downloaded Chrome everything transferred - and thoroughly happy about it. Thank you so much for the prompt shipping and good price! Have been referring BackMarket to folks - hopefully a few are in need of new devices.
