Laptop arrived in like new condition. Was overall impressed with the laptop.PROS - strong CPU performance with fast boot times - back-lit keyboard helpful for late-night work (fn + -> key) - CD/DVD Drive for media use - 4 USB ports (1 left, 2 right, 1 back) - HDMI port in the backCONS: - battery life is not so good (~2 hrs. with normal usage, ~3 hrs. if web surfing and battery mode) - fan can be quite loud when in use - laptop is rather bulky and heavy (~4.5 lbs)Overall, if you're looking for a fast laptop to do work-related functions, this laptop would be great for you. The specs are great and it shows in the responsiveness when I have multiple tabs open, play movies, DVDs or even some low-end Steam games. If however, the bulkiness is an issue for you, then I'd recommend looking for newer laptop models.
