“Excellent” is a stretch. I would call what I purchased “Good”.Cosmetic issues:- keyboard had multiple keys with paint chipped off/white- small dings on frame near screen-Space gray has very noticeable rubbed out/faded paint (looks white) on the chassis from someone’s palms resting there, seems to be a known issue for space gray/gold that doesn’t occur in the silver (I regret not getting silver!)Cosmetic imperfections aside, it is the perfect machine for the price I paid. Battery life is solid. It ticks every box for me, and the current model with identical specs and some bonus useless features would retail for 5x the price I paid. A solid deal. I’m happy.
