Acer has policy that conflicts with Amazon recertified policy. The unit I procured had a bad SATA connector for the HDD expansion. When I contacted them to see about a replacement Acer said it "voided the warranty" to have to use this connector, despite the fact that is supposed to be a future of the item.Don't purchase the recert, its a scam. Acer product support is pretty pathetic aswell.Otherwise, yeah I suppose it works, if 128gig and 4gig ram is enough for you.
