This laptop is functional and is capable of performing most tasks without performance issues, but it does have its' issues - it has randomly crashed complete with the classic "beep codes" a few times and did not ship with the latest BIOS revision.I knew the inherent risks of buying a refurbished product, and was prepared for issues along these lines, so it's not so bad. But if I were to have some sort of mission critical role for the laptop, I'd look elsewhere.
