This won't be an extensive review, however I wanted to point out a couple things that may help others that purchase this laptop.The laptop came well equipped with an Intel i5 CPU (did not check model or generation), 8GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive.  I bought this for my 11 year old daughter for internet browsing/gaming and school work so it will be more than enough for what she needs.When a laptop is sold as "Certified Refurbished" I expect to receive it in like-new condition.  I don't mind a ding here or scratch there as that should be expected on a 5+ year old laptop, but it should also be clean and all consumables should be replaced with new parts.I gave this laptop a 3-star rating for the following reasons:- When I removed the bottom cover the fan was caked with dust and I had to clean it.- My daughter complained the laptop battery dies within 10 minutes after she unplugs the power cable.  I inspected the battery and it is original with a manufactured date of 2012.  The battery should have been replaced with a new one before it was sold.- Windows reported it was not genuine and could not be activated.  No instructions came with the laptop and it was only when I inspected the battery that I found the refurb sticker on the bottom that contained the new Windows key.  I changed the Windows key to what was printed on the label and activation succeeded.  I am familiar with the process but others may not be and have a difficult time trying to activate windows.  A simple instruction sheet will help in those situations.I would also like to add that Amazon support was very helpful.  Amazon could not replace the battery since only aftermarket options are available and sold only by third party re-sellers, however they issued me a promotional certificate in the amount of what it will take to buy a replacement battery to use against my next Amazon purchase.
