After about a month with this laptop I think I may keep it. Works well, a very few minor scrapes/ scuffs do not affect it's performance . I traded the preinstalled Windows 10 Pro OS for the latest version of Mint Linux, as I have with other Lenovo Think Pad laptops I've owned in recent years. Am not disappointed.Would recommend some consideration to used and/or refurbished laptops offered on Amazon. You may be pleasantly surprised with what you may discover. Good choice for students, work from home, or just  saving $$$ on your next computer.Please do your own research on used / "renewed" electronics offered on Amazon. Buying "sight unseen" used electronics on any retailer's website has a certain level of risk.
