I got a chance to unpack and use the refurbished laptop 46 days after it was delivered. I was pleasantly surprised that the battery still had power. That was impressive. Over and above the advertised parts of the laptop, I additionally paid the seller to increase the memory to 16 GB and the SSD to 512 GB. As a result, although I meant this laptop to be a secondary one, it has become my primary work laptop. When started, it originally loaded very fast but, after a couple of months, the Windows loading has been a problem as the machine cannot find the media. That is disappointing. Now, after starting the machine I force-shut down and start it again - this is how it works although this not good for its health.On the negative side, I refute Amazon's claim that they get the refurbishing done professionally. My laptop has visible scratches on all four sides. And, they did not clean the dusts from the fold of the spine. They should have done the cleaning with a laptop vacuum cleaner. These negative things apart, the price is good and I recommend potential buyers to buy refurbished laptops, especially those who cannot afford to buy a new laptop.
