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.

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!

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'!
