This is a pretty good little laptop when things are functioning correctly. I knew when I was buying it that it was a renewed and not new unit and expected a few hiccups but had a few major issues. Firstly the battery had not been tested and was at 10% health and needed to be replaced. The second and more serious issue was OS failures and thermal runaway caused by physical errors on the SSD. The SSD had three large burnout spots on the bottom of the card when removed. Undoubtedly the resulting OS crash issues are why the original owner sold it back to Amazon in the first place. However better QC should have addressed these issues before it was put up for sale again. Good news is neither of these problems is insurmountable and both are fairly cheap to fix. The battery and new SSD ran me about 150$ all together and the repairs require a bare minimum of tools/talent to carry out. With the new components installed the laptop works great and is a good travel/school pc.
