I have a hard time buying new computers. They cost a lot of money. For years I have bought refurbished computers and had good luck with them. The specifications on this laptop were exactly what I was looking for. The computer arrived on time, well packed, and was easy to setup. There is a scratch on the screen that is hardly noticeable. The biggest problem with this refurbed computer is that one of the USB ports does not work. I bought a replacement part for $14 but will have to take the computer apart to install the replacement port. Should be about a four hour repair. I am slow. Otherwise I like this purchase.
