Very pleased with my refurbished ThinkPad. It arrived super quickly (next day) and in good working order. Condition is great, does not look/feel like brand new but better than 'fair'. It's a 'proper' laptop and doesn't feel super fancy or modern but does the job for what I need at a great price.

Only used for a couple of days, System exceeded expectation, as sweet as New, They wrote Touch Screen “No” on arrival Touchscreen was a “Yes”, Face ID, extremely Flat device, Fingerprint sensor, Type C. Will definitely be relevant in 2030. It only arrived 2 days from the specified day of delivery which wasn’t a big issue, good packaging. Seller did a great job!
