I needed a laptop for work in order to store documents, process receipts and email with clients and work colleagues. I didn't have the budget for a brand new laptop and this HP device really solved the problem without breaking the bank. The hard drive has more than enough space for everything I need to store and the processing speed, while a little slow at times, is sufficient for me to get my work quickly and with little fuss. I haven't bought a refurbished laptop before, but this experience has shown me such products can be valuable and worth the risk
