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...👍

Very pleased with my refurbished ThinkPad. It arrived super quickly (next day) and in good working order. Condition is great, does not look/feel like brand new but better than 'fair'. It's a 'proper' laptop and doesn't feel super fancy or modern but does the job for what I need at a great price.

It has been about two weeks since its arrival and overall it seems to be doing its job. I had selected 'very good' condition and actually found some worn edges with no polish. The battery also seems to occasionally drain faster than a new one, but the PC is running smoothly apart from that.

I received the device in perfect condition, in impeccable protective packaging. The battery lasts for several hours of intensive office use (teams, video, Excel, Internet browsing). For relaxation, Dwarffortress also works very well :) I'm delighted with my first Backmarket purchase!
