Pretty much everything about this laptop exceeds my expectations.  It weighs a third as much as my old laptop.  It has better battery life.  It has more USB ports, and my favorite thing?  The Thunderbolt USB-C port!  The SSD really makes a difference in performance.  OSB took over a minute to load and get to the ready state on my old laptop.  On this laptop it takes about 5 seconds.  I would love for the SSD to have more capacity, but I have a 5 bay hard drive enclosure with 50 terabytes attached to the Thunderbolt port, so I have lots of storage space.  The display is crisp, clear and clean, and it supports the enhanced color scheme.  The characters are a bit small, but once you get used to it, they are very readable.  I ordered the excellent condition version.  The first one had significant keyboard problems.  The replacement is up to my expectations - and more.The Thunderbolt port is a game changer.  I can back up my 8 terabyte movie library in 3 1/2 hours.  It took 31 hours for the same job on my old laptop.  That's HUGE!  Everything runs faster when your storage systems perform better, and that's a fact!On the issue of battery life, you have to manually change the computer's performance on battery to get the best battery life.  On the default setting of maximum you get 2 to 3 hours.  On the minimum setting I'm getting a full 7 hours on battery, which ain't bad!I'm in the hardest hit area of the northwest corner of NC.  Hurricane Helene took out our power, internet, the roads, the bridge to town and a lot more.  No TV!!!  Luckily, I had lots of movies on disk, and I've used the "cast to device" feature to show movies and recorded TV shows to my family.  We are all still hurting from no internet, but this laptop has helped a lot with the cabin fever!This renewed laptop has been a blessing, for sure.  It is keeping us sane while the world outside our door is insane from Hurricane Helene!  It is a great performer, and it is so light I take it everywhere.  I can connect to the internet using my smartphone's hotspot feature for short times.  I'm almost at my data limit, so I'm being stingy, but I've been able to at least check the news and see what other hurricane victims in my area are able to do.I heartily recommend this laptop to one and all!!  It is a 5 star performer, and they did a really great job of renewing it!  And, no, I didn't get it for free on Vines.  I paid for it.  I found the price reasonable.  I actually hated returning the first one!  I just might buy another one because this laptop is so good!
