I was honestly hesitant to buy a renewed laptop. However, at the current time, that was the only laptop available in my budget. After many days of surfing, I finally settled on this Dell Precision 5530 laptop.First Impressions:1) It arrived on time. Thumbs ups!2) It was securely packaged. Two thumbs up!3) It was extremely clean and unblemished. If I did not know it was refurbished, I would never guess that it was. Three thumbs up!4) It booted up nicely with no problems.Now, for the rest, only time will tell. However, at this moment, I am extremely pleased with my purchase.
