The laptop worked great with no notable issues (a few very minor nicks but you have to look hard to find them and are ok for a refurbished laptop). I was very happy with the laptop. It was very powerful for a good price!A small note for people who buy this model of laptop: The app Turbo Boost Switcher (it does have a paid version) can be very helpful for reducing fan noise.The fans in this model can be very loud since the laptop goes into overclock mode (and thus heats up) at any opportunity, even when you don't need maximum cpu power (such as when you aren't creating apps or doing very intense high cpu gaming). Turbo Boost Switcher allows you to disable overclock mode unless you need it (and thus makes the fans much quieter when you don't need overclocking). I personally found it helpful.
