I was looking for an upgrade to my previous laptop (I’ve been told it’s a notebook at best). I needed an i5 processor for the games I like to play. My 2 friends with better knowledge of computers have told me that the price I got this for is a steal for the specs it has and it should serve me well for many years. The only damage I’ve noticed is very superficial (a scratch here, a nick on the screen there). The cord seems in good condition and I haven’t had any glaring problems or errors show up. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.
