Bought this as a replacement for a well out of date Toshiba. Very impressed with the Lenovo. So lightweight and fast by comparison. The condition is excellent and if you told me it was new old stock never used I'd believe it.

The device is in perfect condition, very responsive, and starts up and unlocks very quickly. So far I have nothing to complain about. It has good battery life and I've used it for several hours in a row without too many problems (professional use). Even though it discharged quickly on my first use, I think this was due to the number of updates that were running at the time. The delivery was very fast, delivered within the same week, well packaged and protected with a charger.

The laptop is compact, it works well, it is fast, although its condition is "very good" and not in perfect condition, it looks like it was. It doesn't really have any scratches, it has worked without any problems. The only thing is that the battery doesn't last that long, but that's understandable for a second hand computer.

Do not hesitate to buy from this seller. Thank you very much.
