Refurbished laptop computer came without the original box and does not have any instructions or manuals with it. The power cord came wrapped up being held with packing tape. Not the best packing job but my purchase came in perfect/nearly perfect condition. It was in a sealed USPS bubble envelope, with around 3-4 wraps of bubble wrap. The box was filled with packing peanuts on top as well as on the bottom of the computer. I knew I was getting a refurbished computer and kind-of knew what to expect. Just wish it would have come a little bit more original as the factory would have boxed it. At least the manual would be great. Also, it does come with the manufactirers warranty. Other than that, I am pleased with it overall.With the performance or what the laptop is best for......School/College Work mainly. You can play some games on it, but I wouldn't recommend anything online, like Call of Duty or Fortnight. It is fairly fast and does have a great picture. Very pleased with the picture and touchscreen.
