I usually like re-newed purchases and even prefer to buy products re-newed and save a bit of money.  This purchase was not necessarily a great one, but made do with what I paid.First, the description said "Excellent" condition and I would say it was in "Good" condition.  This can be subjective, but there were some deep scuffs on the lid.  Didn't affect performance, but because of this, I would say good condition is about all you could rate it as.Next, the battery was toast.  Charged like it was fine, but went to 0% in about 2 minutes as soon as I unplugged from power.  If it weren't for the long shipping time, I would have sent it back.  But I really needed this computer and luckily had a non-functioning model which this one was to replace that had a great functioning battery in it.  So I swapped the batteries and was up and running.Hard to complain at the price point these are sold re-newed at.  But at the same time, I've purchased a few of these over the last couple years for family and this is the first one that didn't come through as winner.
