I was a little worried at first because I've never purchased a used computer online and only did it after a friend recommended the seller.  The machine arrived with much packaging and in great condition.  There is vinyl adhesive sheeting covering the entire case which is barely noticeable.  I assume there are nicks and scratches underneath but I'm not about to uncover it to find out.  The machine itself is super fast, has a lot of disk space and all the features that were promised.  A mouse was left out of the shipment but after an email to the seller he quickly apologized and sent one over.  Overall I am very pleased with this product and glad I picked this larger model.
