The item I purchased was advertised as 'renewed', I realize that; but it also said in 'excellent' condition.  Not what I received at all! Cover /outside of laptop was scratched and worn and many keys on the keyboard were very worn (very noticeable) and it didn't open and shut correctly; Numerous things wrong.  I have no idea how anyone can say it was in 'excellent' condition, when it looked like it was very worn, to the point of almost abuse.  I usually don't buy 'renewed' items, but some are a good value and work out fine.  Make sure you check this out before ordering.  There isn't a risk really, as I knew this, that amazon covers it and you can easily return it; but it was a hassle to do but I returned it right away for a refund.  Would not buy a 'renewed' computer again, no matter what the description says; I just don't trust it and will stick with the new items when it comes to electronics such as computers!
