I just got it. DAMNNN. This baby is wicked gorgeous. The absolute coolest gadget. All I needed was something simple for business. It’s PERFECT 🤩 Thank You! I love design and technology but I bought it purely for vanity. Beauty Parlor. Of course after buying is when I watched reviews for this year were like “RUN!” So far it’s great. I just use it for simple tasks and music. It feels brand new. It looks extremely expensive. I love the keyboard. I had an ipad that was treated like a toy and broke. This doesn’t get touched and it fits perfectly in my ecosystem. I will definitely be back this experience was 🤩 awesome.

The macbook itself is perfect. everything runs smoothly it works and i see no damages or anything it looks so brand new. one thing is that the charger is broke :/ it has a bad cut in it so o have to hold the charger to my macbook a certain way for it to charge which does get annoying a lot.

I purchased a MacBook 12 inch 2015. The device had a bad battery and hinge. After opening the box I immediately requested a refund and shipped it off, the refund came quickly. And used that money to buy a better MacBook. Over the years I’ve used back market and have had no issues until this point, but they were quick to help and make everything right, which is why I will still do business with back market!
