Well, 2018 it is not. This is very deceptive. It may have been refurbished in 2018, but why not call it 2019 then? Only eight days left.  Original service tag identifies it as November of 2012.  To be honest, I did not expect a 2018 machine for this kind of money, but I would have thought twice had they honestly stated the Original manufacturing date.  When I was buying it, they had “only 3 left”. To add insult to the injury, the day after I bought it they dropped the price and suddenly they had 10 more of those. Machine was not sufficiently cleaned, it is not very dirty or dusty, but just enough for me to start sneezing. It has a light burning smell.  Other than that, it is a solid business computer. I added extra RAM, put in a second CDRW (just to cover a bland empty bay cover and in case I need to make a copy of a CD/DVD, but who does it now?) and it is flying. I think, money wise, I could have done better, though,  and would have gotten a cleaner PC.
