I have never bought refurbished electronics before but considering the cost I thought I'd take a chance. I opened the box and after inspecting the computer I couldn't find a scratch or even a scuff mark on the case. I can't imagine they would all be this clean. I opened the case and the interior was also spotless. Not a speck of dust was seen. The computer seems super fast to me but I was upgrading from a Windows 7 desktop. It's working great so far but just to be safe I bought the three year warranty for $22.00. It seemed like pretty cheap insurance.
