First of all, very fast delivery. I have been using this macbook for a few months now and I am extremely satisfied with it. I ordered it in "fair condition", there are a few bumps on the underside of the computer but you have to look closely, from a distance it looks like new. As for the inside of the Mac: nothing to complain about. This is my first Apple computer and I can clearly see the difference with computers from other brands: the speed is unbeatable and so is the performance. No bells and whistles, fast operation. I also have an iPhone and the two devices communicate perfectly well. I was also a bit worried that this model was too old (2017) for today (2024) but for student use (lots of Excel) and personal use it works perfectly well. In short, I highly recommend Apple computers and what's more this refurbisher is very satisfactory. It took me a long time to switch to Apple for computers but I don't regret it at all and considering the new price, refurbishing is an excellent alternative for a first purchase.

The quality of this refurbishment is astounding! Next day delivery included with expected time slot (nice one DPD - excellent service) 1 cycle on the battery so it must’ve had a replacement battery. Minimal marks across it. In great condition. I’m very happy with it!

After a nightmare experience with one I bought a couple of months ago (and had to return), this time it was all good. The item arrived faster than expected (ie next day) and looks to be in as-new condition. Had a few issues setting it up but that was just down to the usual software quirks. It's now up and running and is excellent, reminding me of how much I miss these lightweight little Macbook 12s and wish Apple would launch an updated one.

The product was as expected. With a 7 year old laptop, signs of use are to be expected. I find the installation instructions absolutely outstanding. The best I've seen so far. I have the MacBook 12 running on the latest MacOS 14.4.1 with the help of OpenCore Patcher. Runs absolutely smoothly. The programmes I use are rather atypical for Mac, but still * Eclipse Papyrus * Obeo Capella * Eclipse JDK * Eclipse Theia * Microsoft VisualStudio Code * Dassault Systèmes NoMagic Cameo * Oracle JDeveloper * JetBrains IntelliJ run amazingly smoothly.

I was very satisfied! The Back Market service was excellent and the seller buytec srl was very good. For 439€ I took the i7 16/512gb version with Italian keyboard; I was perplexed about the "good" grade, fearing that I'd get a ruined Mac, as it happens with many other sellers, that I wouldn't like it and that it would make me look bad carrying it around. Instead it is almost new. Really unnoticeable signs of use, and I am very fussy and careful about aesthetics, there is only one very small and slight dent that is also hard to see and moreover on the underside of the Mac resting on the table. The battery has less than 200 cycles and is at 87%, so on this front too, all promises have been kept.

The item arrived in good condition, I've been using it for over a month now and frankly I have no problems to report. Really top notch, I wasn't expecting much but I'm pleasantly surprised.

Really happy about my purchase. Arrived in excellent condition, like new. The initial installation was pretty slow compared to new laptops but after that it's been performing perfectly. Laptop arrived much much earlier than what I was expecting which was fortunate as I cracked the screen of my main laptop the night before it arrived. Overall, really happy and would definitely buy another laptop through them. Thanks so much
