Best buy in my whole life. Price was a fraction compared to new one, but most importantly, it looks, works and feels like a brand new one. there is not a single scratch, not even around usb or any other ports. First bought second hand one from Amazon, 6 keys on the keyboard didn't work and HDMI port also. sent it back and still waiting for refund. I'm regretting not finding Back Market 1st. If my next purchase will also be that good, I'll praise Back Market even more... And by the way, shipping from Denmark to Ireland, right after new year in 3 days, that was really appreciated after Amazon Christmas experience...👍

The device is very good, like new. The only major downside is that it doesn't have everything that was advertised. For example, it doesn't have a card reader (or I couldn't find one...?) even though it's advertised as having an SDXC card reader. On the other hand, it has a touchscreen that it wasn't supposed to have, which I'm afraid is of no use to me. It's a shame, especially as this seems to be a recurring problem, according to other reviews, and another previous purchase for which I could have made the same comments (both negative and positive). Apart from that, the condition is absolutely perfect, even though it was only supposed to be 'OK'!

Only used for a couple of days, System exceeded expectation, as sweet as New, They wrote Touch Screen “No” on arrival Touchscreen was a “Yes”, Face ID, extremely Flat device, Fingerprint sensor, Type C. Will definitely be relevant in 2030. It only arrived 2 days from the specified day of delivery which wasn’t a big issue, good packaging. Seller did a great job!

Exactly what I was looking for. In excellent condition despite being described as ‘in fair condition’; the battery seems to hold its charge and it works perfectly.
