When I took this Dell laptop out of the box it appeared to be brand new. What a fabulous refurbishment job was done on it.  It was in absolutely perfect condition. I have used it on battery power alone for 3.5 - 4 hours a couple of  times and it still had around 50% charge. Impressive!  It's fast, responsive and was easy to set up. It's a little on the heavy side at 7.25 pounds and it gets warm when setting on my lap but overall, I really like this computer.
