After weeks of dithering between the Elite 340 G8 and the G7, asking many, many questions I finally settled on the G7, and as the price was so reasonable opted for a new battery. The price still came well within my budget.
The laptop arrived a few days early which was a lovely surprise, and when they said "excellent" condition that is exactly what I got. This far exceeds my expectations. There is one teeny tiny mark on the underside near the touchpad, but that is all. It honestly looks, and feels brand new.
I had to tweak one or two minor settings - the @ and " had swapped places - apparently a US thing, but that was easy enough to change. I've had to get used to a touchpad that requires a tap rather than a click, but, as with everything in life, the more I use it, the easier it becomes.
The speakers - Bang & Olufsen - being on the top of the keyboard make the sound quality much better than I have been used to, as many laptops have then underneath!
The only thing I don't like is that pointer - the little round rubber doo-hickey - stuck in the middle of the keyboard, but, again, I'm getting used to ignoring it.
This is a really solid, well built machine, without being to heavy to pick up and move.
I am delighted with it and recommend both Backmarket and the seller.
