When reading the reviews I was not sure what to expect.  First off the specs are Exactly as defined.  The appearance in grade A but with two small scratches on the top cover and a slight ding on one of the corners.  These are very minor and they have no impact on the unit.  I have done all the updates, installed all my software and office.  It’s a performer and slides right into my docking station to drive a dual 49 inch monitor set.  I am so very happy with it.  Took it on the road and the battery lasted as long as expected.  I would say that you make not get the same experience as me, but if you do you will be very happy.  Have told my friends to buy one of these several times - for the money it can’t be beat!
