Shipping was faster than expected.  Further still, the Seller fufilled my special request-- while still delivering the package well within the expected delivery time-frame.The Laptop looks new.  No case scratches-- none at all. The keyboard also looks new, no dirt at all under the keys, I dismantled the Laptop to upgrade the ram and install a larger SSD,  there was no dust or dirt inside the case.  The only part that looks used is the AC adapter-- functions perfectly fine though.  I am also very satisfied with the supplied battery.  It still operates well within specs.Performance wise, the Laptop runs great.  The I7 in this laptop is comparable to the I5 in my Desktop.  This laptop is by no means a gaming PC, as there is no dedicated GPU--  however it can run processor intensive apps very well.  I use this mostly for working away from my desktop, and run a Software Defined Radio (SDR) from it.  This is a very processor instensive taske--  laptop handles it fine and doesnt over-heat.Also, the keyboard feels very nice and is easy to type on.All-in-all, excellent value and performance.
