I was skeptical at first to buy a refurbished system, however I’m glad I did. The overall condition of the laptop I received was pretty good, the battery life is on par with a brand new one. It’s a solid performer and is reliable, no issues thus far. Seller was meticulous in the process of refurbishing the equipment. As an endnote, I bought another one and just received it. Same thing as previously mentioned with this one too. Thanks for your support.
