The laptop is perfect fine, works as described, with the cosmetic damage as described also. I’ve done light word processing work and it’s fine, as well as running light games like The Sims 3 + 4, so I’m perfectly happy with my laptop.
The only caveat is that the charger delivered with the laptop was filthy. There was some type of sticky solvent/glue covering the pack on the AC adapter, which I had to through clean before I felt like I could use. The dirt on the charger does not affect the functionality, but clearly displays that the reseller just tossed a filthy AC adapter in with laptop.
I’d be happy to purchase again from BackMarket, just not with the reseller that sent me this product.
