    The refurbished Apple MacBook Air M2 15-inch feels like brand new! It’s incredibly fast, lightweight, and the larger screen size is perfect for productivity. The Retina display is stunning, and there’s no sign it’s been used before. Everything works flawlessly, and the battery life is excellent. It’s a fantastic way to get premium quality at a more affordable price!

    For anyone else that was super worried to purchase from back market because of bad reviews or uncertainty of buying refurbished, here is my honest review as someone who was on a budget and looking for a MacBook for college. I too was super nervous about spending so much money on a MacBook Air without actually seeing it, but saw a ton of good reviews with this vendor and decided to trust it. I ended up buying a 2020 MacBook Air M1, 16GB Ram, with 256GB of storage in the color space grey in good condition. To my shock, the MacBook came in five days, even faster than it was expecting to come. When I opened the MacBook, it was wrapped in a heavy duty box with a thick bubble wrap to make sure it was super safe. When I opened the MacBook it looked AMAZING. There were a few small scratches on the underneath side of the Mac, but the top was absolutely flawless. I am so happy with this purchase and could honestly say that this is a great vendor that can be trusted! Even saved a few hundred bucks buying from back market instead of Apple! As far as everything else goes, the computer seems to operate perfectly, all speakers work. All buttons are in tact, and the touch pad is responsive. ...

    I love my refurbished 2020 Macbook air. It arrived in a couple of days after ordering and was just as described. I had hoped to send my old Macbook in for some money back but I bogged down in getting my data and apps transferred to the new computer. I'm old and I should have hired someone to do it for me instead of going down the rabbit hole! I plan to use BackMarket for a refurbished iphone next.

    I used Back Market to purchase a refurbished MacBook Air (M2). I figure I saved about $300 vs buying one new. I was able to find the memory and storage capacities that I wanted and initiated the purchase. Within a few days I received my Air. Excellent condition. Works great. I'm very pleased with the whole purchase process.

    This is my 5th device purchased from Back Market and what a terrific refurbisher! This MacBook Air is a good machine. However, it was marked "excellent condition," but it was not as flawless previous devices I've purchased from BM. There were minor scratches on the screen, minor scratches on the lid, and about 6 of the keys are well worn and very shiny due to use. Assuredly, not in excellent condition by Back Market standards. However, with the purchase of a plastic cover and a thin keyboard cover, the problem is not visible.

    Solid Refurbished MacBook Air - A Great Value on Back Market I recently purchased a refurbished MacBook Air Retina 13-inch (2020) from Back Market with the Core i3 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, listed in "Good" condition. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and feel like I got a great deal. The Good: * Price: This was the biggest selling point. Compared to buying a brand new MacBook Air, I saved a significant amount of money. Back Market's pricing for refurbished electronics is definitely competitive. * Performance: The i3 processor, coupled with 16GB of RAM and the speedy SSD, handles my daily tasks with ease. I use it for web browsing, email, document creation, light photo editing, and even some occasional coding. It's responsive and doesn't lag. * Condition: My MacBook Air arrived in better condition than I expected for a "Good" rating. There were a couple of very minor cosmetic blemishes, barely noticeable, and certainly nothing that impacts functionality. The screen was perfect. * Battery Life: The battery health is surprisingly good. I'm getting close to the advertised battery life for this model, which is impressive for a refurbished machi...

    This is my 4th time buying Apple refurbished tech and the products always meet my expectations. They come in a timely manner, devices are well taken care of. I'm in love with this MacBook, the only issue I had was that the number 7 key and F7 key were loose and came off, but I just went to an Apple store and got them replaced for free! (just schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar and they will have your keys replaced in 5 minutes)

    Item arrived with a charger. Purchased in Fair condition so scratches were expected. Mine had them on the apple logo and the bottom of the computer which had the most wear. Otherwise the Keyboard is perfect, Screen is Perfect, Battery health is 98%. Excellent condition all things considered and the M1 with 16GB ram is a seriously capable laptop. Extremely satisfied with my purchase. Black Market's return policy + 1 Year Warranty helps lessen the risk of buying Refurbished. Would recommend to anyone especially students.

    Under no circumstances would I have known this was a refurbished laptop unless I had known in advance. The quality, performance, and ease of use far surpasses my Macbook Pro 2020. I'll continue to purchase from BackMarket! No doubt!

    Received my MacBook a week earlier than the expected delivery. Purchased the Fair Condition and I must say that everything is excellent! Literally could've been listed as Excellent Condition! Battery Health 88%, Speaker sounds amazing, all keys intact, screen has no imperfections.. Im very happy with my purchase! Saved myself $500+ by buying refurbished. My only concern is that the packaging is minimal. It arrived in a fitted box so it's very easy to assume what is in the package. Also, the MacBook arrived freezing cold due to the weather outside. I think it should be shipped a little better protected but that has not affected the quality.

Save more on a refurbished MacBook Air

That's because all the MacBook Air laptops on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, tested and cleaned to meet Apple's standards of quality and function. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or pre-owned MacBook Air compared to a refurbished one.

You'll also be happy to know that a refurbished MacBook Air is an environmentally friendly MacBook Air. When these devices are renewed, they are kept out of our landfills and given a second life. So buying a discounted MacBook Air on Back Market means you'll be doing your part to reduce electronic waste and minimize your carbon footprint.

What to expect when buying refurbished products


If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your MacBook Air may have external 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 device and you can expect it to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the Apple Store.

You should also be confident that your MacBook Air 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 Air 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. 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 model.
