I was looking at a new computer but don’t use it often. My granddaughter put me on to Backmarker. I got a a fantastic computer for a fraction of the price of a new one. It works fantastically. Very happy customer!!

Its been like a month and a half or more I have been using this as my main device as a uni student and so far its been unexpectedly great for 6 year old machine. I mainly bought the Intel i7 one so that I could use bootcamp and play games on it on my share time, I didn't thought its gonna be that good but its unexpectedly been great so far, some older games like 2010 or later (bioshock remaster) I could play it in 1600p native and smooth (60fps) while the latest ones like farcry5 could play on 1200p 40fps. Nonetheless I use macOS for uni stuff and windows for at home gaming (it needs to be plugged in otherwise on battery performs not good and drains in an hour and a half). Touch Bar all right, as a gimmick "cool" other then that no use, some of the functions are good on Touch Bar like spell correct and running or making new tabs on safari but other then that no use at all. Intel i7 2.3ghz heats up really fast but I don't mind, just don't try to hold it from the bottom by one hand :)

I'm pretty impressed after a couple of weeks of use. 'Some wear and tear' was only one single letter on the keyboard that has the surface scratched, plus some light surface marks on the outside. The laptop is quick, super functional and it's hard to notice that it's a refurb, other than those aesthetics, so far.

As much as I prefer my 2012 MacBook, for the price I can't fault the quality of this newer MacBook. The customer service was also second to none. When it comes time to update my phone, or any other devices, I will definitely be using Back Market. Thankyou!
