I'm always hesitant when buying a "reverbished" item. Especially electronic equipment. But I gave this one a whirl. I needed to replace the laptop I use at home.I wasn't disappointed. First, there is no junk on this computer. What a pleasure not to have to spend an hour with a new computer removing a bunch of programs I have no use for.Second, this thing is fast. Much faster than my old laptop which was an I3 machine. This thing is like lightening.I am very happy and highly recommend this computer to anyone looking for a $400 laptop.UPDATE 04-15-2020: I bought this computer in October of 2019. Yesterday, 4/14/2020 the hard drive died. The computer will not boot up. What a POS! I've got a $500 boat anchor.
