Well I bought it as a backup and it certainly functions as that. In fact its a good deal if you only want a backup computer.Problems: Packaging was horrible and it was basically falling out of the cheap box and there were not less than three kinds of cheap foam and plastic.  The thing basically came in parts and lots of tiny ones for the connections were outright missing. No big deal as it still fit together and worked but the refurbishing was shoddy at best.The biggest problem was that it came preloaded with maleware. No sooner did I have it up and running Windows Defender ran that I received a warning that I had a "severe'" malware.  Again, good refurbishing includes making sure the thing isn't loaded with junk.Buy? Yes, but only with caution and only as a backup
