Aesthetically speaking, it's in pretty good condition, there are no scratches on the screen or on the casing, which isn't shocking because there aren't many, and anyway it's only aesthetic. On the other hand, I bought this model because it was indicated on the internet as being rather powerful (without requiring an ultra-powerful computer either, as I don't do gaming) but I needed one that would hold up well to do a bit of Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign for my studies. I've been using it for 3 or 4 days now (3 or 4 hours a day, give or take, and just for internet research - I haven't even installed the Adobe suite yet) and I hadn't used it before that, so I don't think that's excessive use, especially for a computer designed for work, and it's already freezed 2 times (I had to turn it off and on again because the screen was completely frozen) and now since yesterday evening it's started to blow quite often (and I don't find it particularly hot, so I don't understand). So I don't really know what to make of it, because I bought it on purpose to be able to handle big programs like Photoshop, because my old one was too old for that, and now when I see that just by searching on the internet it's bugging and blowing, I wonder if it's going to be able to handle what I bought it for...
