I've gone trough 4 cheap / mid  laptops in as many years. Totally frustrated. This was a very high end from 2015 - reconditioned. I was a little wary but knock wood after about 3 months it is the best I've ever had. Does much more than the typical garbage, and it's ridiculously fast. I would have paid double for something like this a few years ago and still been ahead vs the junk I took the re-cycling.
