Tremendous value for the money. The 256GB SSD is nice and fast, and the 16GB of memory helps alot too. The processor is old, but plenty fast enough for the things that I do (web, mail, music ripping, streaming video). I wouldn't use it for modern gaming or video editing, but otherwise it's fine. Mine had some minor damage to the front grill and case top, but not quite enough to return it, thus minus one star. The processor was slightly faster than the advertised one, so I appreciated that. Overall, highly recommended for users similar to me, particularly if you can tolerate a scratch or two. Great value!Edit: Adding back the star. Performance had been fantastic. I love the small form factor and the desk space it frees up. Defect on front panel was very minor, and I did buy refurbished after all. Highly recommended for all but the most processor intensive tasks.Update: Over a year later and still going strong. I see the price has dropped substantially. If you are like me (Office, web browsing, email, music/video) this is an outstanding value.Update 12/23: Still going strong. Still plenty fast enough for office tasks.
