There is a smudge (bruise) and a dead pixel on the boot screen that is virtually to completely invisible once it's on the login screen. If you're picky about things like that, be aware, but that goes for any refurbished laptop. Otherwise, I'm not a gamer, but it updated to Windows 11, which was usable after a few tweaks, and it's done well since. Hoping for something that will stay usable for years to come.Mine has an Ethernet port, which is important, but no fingerprint reader, which is mildly annoying but not a big deal. It's a 2019 per the sticker.
