I was very pleased with this MacBook Pro! Quick Shipping. Everything checks out as it should. I think my son will enjoy this laptop when he starts college. Normally, I buy refurbished in “excellent” condition , this time I bough in “very good” condition and I must say it exceeded expectations. Third purchase with back market and there definitely will be a fourth! Highly recommend.
Condition
Light signs of wear. The body may have light micro-scratches. For items with screens, the screen will have no scratches.

Computer as described I see no visible signs of damage or scratches the only thing which maybe is just a design flaw of the MacBook itself but the o sometimes doesn’t register from what I’ve seen so far haven’t had any problems with any of the other ones but if there is I’ll try and update the review.

My Macbook showed up in perfect condition! The only issue is sometimes when typing the cursor will move back to the beginning of the word I am typing. Other than that ,everything works perfectly. I bought another laptop for my brother as a gift and can’t wait for him to test it out. Will definitely be buying from this site again!

The Macbook at first glance is in perfect condition, everything works as far as buttons and basic functions while using the computer. For the first few months of me having this mac trying to figure out everything was good. The only issue that i noticed over time was the battery. It charges quite fast but it dies fast too. Cant really do multiple things at once or it will overheat also the adapter that it came with barely works for me. Other than that I love the mac and the features i just wish i could use it more often and not have to charge every other hour.

This was an amazing purchase but the one thing that I did not enjoy was the fact I got a MacBook Pro with buttons instead of the touchbar. I use my device everyday!
