Looks and feels almost completely new, with everything seeming top of the line.  The 500 GB HHD is actually a hybrid drive so booting is quick.  Even so I added a 1TB Samsung Evo 860 which I put into the mSATA slot and repurposed the hybrid to being a continuous backup drive.  The battery seems good, maybe new.  The icing on the cake is the Windows 10 Pro license, now on my name.
