I took a risk on a refurbished machine—I have a big 15.6in laptop but I needed something both more portable and quite powerful for my new job, and this fit the bill exactly. I’ve found that it’s extremely fast and quiet, with good speakers and fully functional keys and buttons! Even more surprising was the battery life: I’ve been able to use it all day without being plugged in, not something I expected from a used computer. It uses a usbc charger, which is great.There were a few cosmetic issues with the case, and for some reason when I received it the entire keyboard was unpleasantly sticky. Fortunately I was able to clean the keyboard with no issue and the tiny scratches and dents were easily concealed with stickers.Update: the battery is even better than I expected!!! I left this little guy in my bag for three days without using it, and it only used up 3% of the battery!!!!
