I am new to the idea of buying a renewed computer and decided to give it a go in these days of improved recycling. When I thought about it it seemed to me that computers are the perfect items to be renewed and recycled and, I guess, only time will tell whether this was a good option to try.The computer I received had minimal marking on the case - what you'd expect, really - and worked first time. It came with an administrator account already set-up (Windows 10 Pro), with no logon. It was a simple matter for me to create my own user account with a logon and remove the administrator account.The machine is great value for money. I think the price was well pitched given that the machine is not new. Most parts in a computer shouldn't degrade much over time so this should not present a problem in future. The exception is the battery and only time will tell how well that performs.All-in-all, I think this purchase was worthwhile and the idea of renewing electrical items should prove beneficial to the planet in the long term - a win-win all 'round.

Though otherwise in good condition, the fan of this refurbished laptop, when turned on, is extremely loud and makes grinding noises. This is to the point where I might have to pay to replace the fan. I ordered excellent condition and this did not meet the standards. Beware
