honestly I was very hesitant on buying a refurbished laptop but decided to give it a try, I was eyeing a MacBook Pro 15 inch since I had previously owned a MacBook Pro 13 inch with the Touch Bar and completely fell in love with it but sadly had to sell it away. I was searching for the right MacBook Pro 15 inch for the right price and couldn't believe the price I paid what a steal! bought the laptop Sept 15th and finally arrived Sept 20th. I bought the fair condition needless to say it's in impeccable shape, everything works, no scratches at all. it really seems like I just bought straight from the apple store that's nice & clean it is. I never write long reviews for anything but I just want to say thank you for giving me my dream laptop with an affordable price and I will love every second of it!

I bought this refurbished Macbook Air on Christmas Eve two years ago and it is still working. I'm so happy with this purchase. I give a 4/5 rating due to the cosmetic scratches that don't affect performance but are an eyesore no question.

I bought this Macbook Air for my daughter in university. After a brief adjustment period of going from PC world to a Mac, she is very happy with it. It has been refurbished to as close as new as possible. It is clean and does not show it's age (2017). It more than suits her needs for school. It came as described and the price was great. A very good used Mac!

Super fast shipping! Had it at my house within 3 days. The MacBook Pro was packaged perfectly. It looks brand new and performs flawlessly. Saved about a 1/3 of the cost going with a refurbished MacBook Pro over a brand new one.

I purchased this MacBook Pro for a Veteran’s family. He is overcoming some trauma and has two teenage children, one of whom has Chikdhood Arthritis. They are precocious and driven toward the sciences. They are doing extraordinary projects using multimedia. The MacBook Pro was a perfect choice. The smile on their faces was incredible. Thank you for making these young people’s lives a celebration of life. The refurbishment made all of this possible. Well done!

Benefits of buying a refurbished MacBook

An Apple MacBook is definitely no small expense, but you can get the best deal when you shop refurbished. At Back Market, customers save 30-70% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished MacBooks. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully repaired, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or pre-owned MacBook compared to a refurbished one. Buying a renewed MacBook is also a much friendlier environmental option. Refurbished MacBooks are often second-hand devices that have been restored and updated to meet the manufacturer's standards, which means you'll be helping to reduce electronic waste and minimize your carbon footprint.

Best place to buy a refurbished Apple MacBook

You'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored MacBooks at Back Market. That's because we specialize specifically in refurbished tech and take the time to carefully vet every seller on our marketplace to ensure customers are getting reliable devices that perform like-new. We have over 1,000 refurbished MacBooks to choose from with price ranges to fit almost anyone's laptop budget. Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission(CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop MacBook deals on our platform.

MacBook warranties and return policy

All MacBook purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best MacBook for your needs at lower prices.

What to expect when buying a refurbished MacBook

If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your MacBook may have cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your MacBook and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the Apple Store. You should also be confident that your MacBook is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.

MacBook Trade In

If you already have a MacBook that you're looking to replace, consider trading it into Back Market to give you a little extra budget for your next laptop upgrade. We make the process simple for you and we'll give you a free online quote when you answer a few easy questions about your current MacBook.Trade in your MacBook
