First and foremost, it's not the most convenient option from my perspective because the brand itself isn't very reputed after changing its name from Toshiba and many other internal elements. So, there could be reliability issues. Along with that, it's a refurbished laptop. Specs-wise, I won't say it's bad. But there are a few specs that should've been touched on specifically on the Back Market website, for instance, connectivity, which is precisely pointed out: bluetooth version, wi-fi version. If your device has the latest version of connectivity, it'll transfer data quite smoothly, rather than lagging. The processor speed is just 1.30 GHz. The higher the clock speed or processor speed, the better it is.
Also, ask yourself whether it would be wise to get a refurbished laptop for 400 quid instead of a new one with the same specifications. I'm telling you about these aspects because noticing them is a must before buying a laptop.
To answer your second question, if you've got a MacBook, it'll allow you to do seamless integration within Apple devices. Otherwise, it could be hectic to use various devices at the same time.
