This is one of those items that isn't stellar, isn't really bad, and you seem to more or less get what you pay for.I just use it for casual stuff like surfing the web during down time and looking things up. About two days after I got it I replaced the hard drive with a 1Tb SSD which resolved any performance issues, but I'm of the opinion that any machine running Windows 10 should have a solid state drive anyway.Physically, the machine looks like an older laptop that had been used but taken reasonably good care of. It's not perfect, and it has a few very minor dings here and there, but nothing that would affect performance or functionality.The only serious caveat is that it only has a DVD drive and not a DVD-RW, but that's not too big of a deal. I thought it was listed as having a burner drive in the listing but checked later and it wasn't. Optical disks are pretty much a dead medium at this point anyway, so it's unlikely that it will be a factor.
