Hardware is fine, but like all refurbished computers I've bought, this one potentially had a corrupt operating systems. Back when I worked in desktop publishing, vendors used a method to install OS's fast by using a method call ghosting. The computers we used that were ghosted always messed up, just like this computer, but I don't now how they installed the OS on this computer, but it's garbage. Files are corrupting everywhere. I'm not a Windows systems expert, I don't enjoy fixing corrupt Windows issues, this is why most publishers use MAC's. I didn't like the way I had to registrar this computer with Microsoft right out of the box.  In my opinion, the hardware is  fine, but if you want a solid computer, spend more and buy your own copy of an OS, or run something other than Windows.  Window's OS is still sorry for graphics and video editing, you will spend hours fixing corrupt files and loose time from crashes. The Window's hierarchy of files and bloated registry where never intended for creative purposes, unless you have excellent skills in fixing Windows related problems. Fixing Windows corrupt files is not my bag! IF you buy one of these refurbished Windows boxes, remember, you get about what you will pay?
