I was a little iffy buying a used laptop but I did not want to pay full price for a brand new one so I decided to give it a shot. For the price I am extremely impressed with it. The battery life and everything else is top notch. A few noticeable scratches and dents were present on the outside but that was to be expected and I have a case on it so it doesn't really matter anyway. I've had it for 3 months now and I would never buy a brand new laptop again.
