it is a really good laptop, very compact and it has really good battery life. Screen looks amazing and the speaker quality is very good. Touch pad can be a little difficult sometimes but i mostly use the track point so thats great.As for the refurbished quality, it is amazing. I cant even tell the laptop is used by looking at it. Came with a charger and everything.edit: installed a ssd in the extra slot and put Linux on it, works great! both Linux and windows work very well.
