This was purchased as a gift for my partners daughter. The laptop performs as needed and allows the tasks to be carried out in a timely fashion. The laptop had no esthetic issues, and looks great. The delivery was as expected and again in a timely fashion. Thank you to concerned in providing a great experience.

The laptop works but the batteries were running out very quickly given that it has 2 batteries. Turns out there was a codec issue which was easily resolved from a few online downloads, still dissapointing that I had to do this for myself, a less experienced tech user may not have had the ability to do this. secondly, I chose the excellent condition option, and this was a poor choice. The markings on the keus have all smudged within a year of owning it. The paint pretty much starts to melt from the bodytemp of your fingers. Also see the poor refubishment quality when you turn on the back light keyboard in a dark room. The laptop itself is sturdy, but i'm dissapointed in the quality of the refurbishement. Things were basically plastered on rather than being created for long lasting. This is an awesome website, I will continue to purchase from here, but will pay closer attention to the quality of the goods during the warranty period.

Un vrai nouvelle ami de travail ! Pour ce que je fais (bcp de traitements de textes, ouvrir plusieurs pages en même temps, regarder des vidéos/streaming et faire du montage/traitements de vidéos) il fonctionne vraiment très bien. Il est rapide et chauffe très peu. La batterie, pour du reconditionner, tient aussi bien que pour un ordinateur neuf avec mon utilisation. Donc je suis vraiment très contente et satisafaite de mon achat. J'ai peut-être eu de la chance, mais je ne pense pas. C'est vraiment un reconditionnement, et un achat de qualité.

l'emballage fait un peu peur, mais il est arrivé dans les délais et il fonctionne très bien. Aucun soucis esthétique, ni aucun problème de fonctionnement détecté a ce jour, la batterie tiens bien dans la durée... classique pour ce type de pc, mais top pour un reconditionné (option "comme neuf")

Die Lieferung war nicht nur super schnell, weil Sonntag bestellt und Dienstag Mittag erhalten, sondern das Notebook als „sehr gut“ deklariert, ist in einem super Zustand, sieht für mich wie neu aus. Und natürlich funktioniert alles bestens. Meine Empfehlung! Wenn ich mal wieder Technik suche, weis ich ja nun auch ich zuerst schaue! Danke!
