I have not powered the computer up yet. The packaging is above average. I do not foresee any issues with the unit on startup based on the packing alone. The unit appears as if it were manufactured yesterday instead of being refurbished. I have no reservations about ordering in future from CLS Technology. I am very pleased with the service I have received from them to date. I recommend them without reservation for computer needs. I had a concern before delivery that was handled through Amazon concerning shipping. Amazon relayed my concern and CLS promptly handled it.
