I received this a couple days after ordering.  The case was pristine.  The only thing that gave any indication of not being a brand new machine was one label was slightly lifted on one small corner. It came with a real MS Win 10 license.  Install and boot-up was easy. The SSD makes this machine fast. I use it to run business software, so it not being a the latest and greatest CPU was not a problem; it has plenty of cycles for what I do.  I also want to call out the packaging.  It was packed way better than even Dell packs new machines. It was completely wrapped in a a custom-fit blister pack.  Given that the outer box looked like it had been recovered from a aircraft wreck by the time the shippers had punted it around, I was pleased to see that PC survived with no damage. I would buy this again.
