It says that it looks 100% new but it is not the case. it came with many scraces and the screen has a bend on the lower side, however, I decided to keep it and see if it workes and it did, if you aren't obsessed by the external look this is not for you. But if you don't mind it, the computer works fine. the battery life is ok remember it is an old computer. Now the question is: should you buy it or not? I would say if the price goes dowen the $400 it is ok but I saw that now cost $500 and for this price I would say no.
