    The packaging and QR code ensures you have the information to proceed, it provides the necessary Boot keys as well as support function to give confidence and to trust the device. I have resurrected two machines. One a HP Stream and a Lenovo Flex. Brilliant

    I'll be honest here, I bought this in a slightly less than sober state, but I'm SO glad that I did. As a connoisseur of older laptops, I knew what I was getting. For £99 you absolutely cannot go wrong. It's DDR4 and I had some extra memory knocking about so now it's 16Gb rather than the single channel (my only gripe) 8Gb. Also upgraded the SSD to 500Gb although, the original worked completely fine but I wasn't interested in Chrome OS. Now it dual boots Windows 11 and Linux Mint. As for the condition. I bought a "fair" condition unit, although I'm going to give it "good" status due to only a few scuffs on the outer shell of you really look for them! Opening up this solid laptop does require both hands as it's so well built (thanks for carrying on the tradition from IBM, Lenovo!) The keyboard is sublime for a laptop this age, with hardly any flex to the chassis at all. Everything checks out as genuine and functional, even down to the fact that when I opened it up to upgrade with spares I had... It was so CLEAN inside, even the fan looked factory fresh which is always a worry when buying old laptops. I didn't have to worry. Delivery stated that I'd get this in around 6 days. Nope. Ordered one evening, was sent the next day, day after that it was in my grasp in the morning. All with full tracking. So my synopsis is... I got an absolute bargain and I will use it often when out and about. The size of the 14" screen that I thought would bother me (720p max) does not at all after using 15.6" laptops for years. This is a very capable, amazingly priced, properly looked after and refurbished item and would recommend it to anyone.

    Condition was scored 'fair' but I can't see why - looks brand new. Everything functioning very well so far. I've had Think Pads beforee and know them to be very well built - which was part of the appeal. Battery life was obviouly going to be better in a new machine but this still seems to manage about 4-5 hrs normal use and I'm perfectly happy with that. Overall I'm delighted - this was to replace a very old Acer Chromebook and it's doing it with aplomb. Brill concept - keep em coming.

    It was delivered sooner than expected, and the condition was better than expected! It looks almost brand new. Setup was quick and simple, and it just works. The battery life isn't amazing but good enough, you get a few hours. The screen is also just OK, with slightly limited viewing angles, so probably not ideal for multiple people to watch something. It's an ideal basic laptop for everyday tasks, and the price feels like a bargain.

    It arrived etc but perhaps I should have done more research on how limited Chromeos flex is. You can't even install android apps and it isn't very well optimised without a connection even with the few apps it supports. For me, a laptop is supposed to be when you want to be flexible and perhaps the connection isn't the best etc. I would expect at least flawless offline for Gmail and Google docs but no, that's not what it is

    It went well. It was installed on a Microsoft Surface Go2, and so far everything has worked as expected, including the Surface Pen. My main complaint is that the USB drive supplied is only USB 2, and so the install time was much longer than expected.
