It was actually just right. There was no problems with turning on or using anything on my Macbook Air 2017. The screen is perfect and it looks as though it is brand new.

I’m very pleased with my MacBook! I got it and fair condition not knowing what that meant because I’ve never ordered from the back market before or even ordered a refurbished MacBook before with getting it brand new and wow I’m very pleased. It looks practically new, a few light scratches but they’re not noticeable at all. Very fast shipping also very pleased

It’s a gamble ordering a 12” MacBook in 2025. This one was said to be in excellent condition and I gave it a shot. The computer is great shape and was able to update to MacOS Ventura and is completely functional other than the Bluetooth connection. I have not been able to troubleshoot this issue and can’t tell if it’s a hardware or software issue, or a combination of the two with a 2017 model computer. I ended up just buying some wired headphones and I’m good. Otherwise the 12” is great and I’d love to find one more as a backup in case this one does have a problem at some point. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with Back Market and my purchase.

nothing like this at this size and weight. Runs great and last a long time on battery. All of my other machines have 16 GB ram, but this one performs just fine as my ultra portable option. I use it daily and love it. I bought grade FAIR. The only indication of wear is that the E key has worn surface. everything functions great and I can not complain at all for this price

Got a 250gb M3 chip MacBook in good condition and it works great! Barely has a singular scratch on the back of it but other than that looks flawless. It is smaller than what I’m used to, switching from a 2015 MacBook Pro, 13.3 inch, but it feels great when using. Would recommend!

This is the fourth computer that I purchased from Back Market. Like the others, this came in excellent, essentially new condition. I needed a little help fro Apple to upgrade the operating system to the latest, but I was able to do so. Also, I wanted to activate Imovie and add microsoft office which was no problem. Overall, I am extremely pleased.
