    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 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.

    The entire process has been amazing! I managed the refurbishment process for a major computer company so I know the incredible value you can get with a company like this. They’re doing a great job reducing the e-waste, giving customers exceptional value, and providing a great customer experience! I had an issue with my charger, which frequently happens with those types of products. My customer service representative was friendly and professional while solving my issue. This is a great company and if they had an open job in my field, I would join them :)

    I bought this laptop in "Excellent" condition. I assume it was refurbished due to a broken screen. Whoever installed the new screen definitely smudged the glass from the inside lol. It is incredibly annoying, since I won't be able to get them off without replacing the screen entirely. I think it could've been more securely shipped as well. But other than that, the laptop seems to be in good working condition. There's only one noticeable ding, which doesn't bother me. Overall, I am happy with my purchase & think it was definitely worth the price.

    It’s good in all honesty it is fast and reliable. Only thing is indent on the top if the MacBook but I got it at a fair price so it’s whatever. Anyways I would totally recommend for anyone trying to buy a refurbished MacBook this is the one. 92% battery life and the battery charge keeps my MacBook on all day so it’s reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions about the MacBook Air M1


What is the M1 chip, and how does it differ from previous MacBook processors?

The M1 chip is a custom-designed processor made by Apple, specifically for use in their Mac computers. It is the first processor to use ARM-based architecture, which is different from the Intel-based processors used in previous MacBook models. The M1 chip offers improved performance, energy efficiency, and battery life compared to previous processors, as well as allowing for features such as instant wake from sleep. The M1 is only topped by Apple's second generation chip, the M2 processor.


What is the battery life on the MacBook Air M1?

The MacBook Air M1 offers impressive battery life, with Apple claiming up to 18 hours of web browsing or up to 15 hours of video playback on a single charge. This is due in part to the energy efficiency of the M1 chip, as well as other optimizations made by Apple.


Can the MacBook Air M1 run professional-grade software?

Yes, the MacBook Air M1 is capable of running professional-grade software such as Adobe Photoshop and Final Cut Pro. The M1 chip offers improved performance compared to previous MacBook models, and software developers are continuing to optimize their apps to take advantage of the new architecture.


Can the MacBook Air M1 run Windows or other operating systems?

The MacBook Air M1 is not able to run Windows or other operating systems natively, as they are not designed to work with the ARM-based architecture of the M1 chip. However, it is possible to use virtualization software such as Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion to run Windows or other operating systems on the MacBook Air M1, albeit with some limitations. Additionally, some software may not be compatible with the M1 chip, so it is important to check compatibility before making a purchase.


Deciding on your next MacBook purchase

If you've already decided that you're going to purchase a MacBook with the impressive M1 chip, then you might need some help deciding between the MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro. In general, you'll want to choose the model that best suits you, but our guide can better help you decide.
