I would order from back market again, I just one problem with my order. When I received my order it was actually sooner than I expected which I appreciated alot. I opened the laptop and it booted up fine no issues at all. Then after a few moments of using the laptop I was hit with a horrible and intense rubbery smell. The smell was so strong I had to get up and leave the computer. This smell continued for about 3-4 hours and then faded. I can no longer smell the rubber and the laptop works fine. Do understand that when buying refurbished items the item may smell like this because of the chemicals used to replace parts like the battery. Although if you are put off by smells like this, especially rubber I don't think you'll have a great initial experience. Overall I do recommend buying this laptop though if you want it for gaming I wouldn't recommend as the graphics card kinda of sucks.

The laptop is compact, it works well, it is fast, although its condition is "very good" and not in perfect condition, it looks like it was. It doesn't really have any scratches, it has worked without any problems. The only thing is that the battery doesn't last that long, but that's understandable for a second hand computer.

Bought this as a replacement for a well out of date Toshiba. Very impressed with the Lenovo. So lightweight and fast by comparison. The condition is excellent and if you told me it was new old stock never used I'd believe it.

The device is in perfect condition, very responsive, and starts up and unlocks very quickly. So far I have nothing to complain about. It has good battery life and I've used it for several hours in a row without too many problems (professional use). Even though it discharged quickly on my first use, I think this was due to the number of updates that were running at the time. The delivery was very fast, delivered within the same week, well packaged and protected with a charger.

I bought it in very good condition and frankly I'm very happy with it so far. The battery holds come. in 2 h 30 of use I passed from 100 % to 65 %. Many updates so must take xon account. It is fluid and everything works well. I didn't know that it was a touch screen, so I'm very happy with it.

I purchased a refurbished ThinkPad from BEST4TECH through Back Market and overall I’m very satisfied with the experience. The laptop arrived on time and was well packaged. The condition was listed as “Good,” and it matched the description — there are a few minor cosmetic marks, but nothing that affects performance. Everything works as expected, and the device feels solid and reliable. Specs were exactly as advertised, I did have a small issue initially with the audio, but it turned out to be a simple driver fix — not a hardware problem. What I appreciated most is that I received the correct model this time, and it feels like a proper upgrade compared to other listings I had issues with before.(with a different seller)
