The laptop itself arrived in excellent condition.  It has 640 battery cycles on it, so we will see how long it last before battery degradation occurs - as of now though it appears to be just fine.  My only issue is that the Amazon listing states that the laptop has 16GB of RAM when, in fact, the laptop that arrived only has 8 GB.  I don't do a lot of RAM intensive things, so I decided to keep it anyways, but be if 16GB of RAM is something that you definitely need, be aware that the listing is incorrect.
