First thing I noticed was a slight rattle coming from inside the laptop. Opened up to reveal the mounting screw to the hard drive sled was not in its home and the small screw was swimming around inside. (Good thing I didn't power it up immediately.)  One I put the screw back in, the computer booted as it should to Windows 10. I will be swapping out the HDD for a SSD later today and installing Linux so, I am not to concerned about the current HDD but, it should have come secured. Not cool refurb guy, not cool. Second, it wasnt "dirty" but, it does have some signs of wear. Granted, I expected this so, I am not disappointed. If you are looking for a cheap PC for some linux bashing or perhaps a road warrior that you dont mind getting knocked around in a bag, this is your fella. If you are expecting a blazing fast, top of the line PC, you are going to wnt to move along and find something else. All in all, I am somewhat pleased however once I get this thing up and purring, I will revise my review. First impressions are "meh".
