I picked up this machine because I needed a Windows 10 laptop with 8gb ram for school. I wanted a relatively small laptop with an SSD and decent battery life. This machine has fulfilled all of my expectations. It came with a Windows 10 Pro activation code which worked instantly.Battery life has been acceptable and the backlit keyboard is my favorite feature so far. Lots of usb 3.0 ports and my machine came very clean for a refurbished model. The outside lid was very slightly scratched but the keyboard and screen are mint.The Intel i5 4300 is doing much better than I thought it would. A very light laptop that I'm not scared to pack around my lab near fire and water.
