The order process was smooth and easy as was payment. The shipping was very fast and I was kept up to date on when to expect the package. The unit was packed well but without too much waste. And the laptop was in better condition than I expected given the listing of Fair. Unit was ready to set up Windows and functioning as it should. I installed Linux instead of Windows and am very pleased with the results. I've recommend to a colleague that this is the way to order a "new" laptop. I've had an extremely positive experience.

Works great, was able to wipe Windows and install my OS and it works great. The fair rating had me anticipating a bit of wear on the device but it's super clean, the most roughed up part was the sticker specifying the GPU. Absolutely will keep using back market for my refurbished devices.

I have fallen in love with this product. The seller provided excellent packaging to ensure the protection of the device. The shipping was fast (I paid extra, but still) and the tracking updates were quite nice. Upon arrival, the device was fully charged and had Windows installed with no password on it. I, personally, reinstalled my own operating system; however, the speed at which a user could get up and running was greatly appreciated. The device's battery health was and is at 70% upon arrival. For a device from 2021 I am pleased with the longevity of this battery. The laptop does die rather fast; however, this is common for Lenovo ThinkPads. The laptop does not run hot, is quiet, and the display is of high quality. The physical laptop itself was clean upon arrival and had no visible wear. Mechanically, the left click is a little worn down and sometimes gets stuck in place or feels inconsistent in the pressing of the button. Although, I am more of a tap on the trackpad guy, so it doesn't bother me. The only downside of this laptop, in my opinion, is the speakers; they are legitimately awful. Never in my life have I heard laptop speakers sound this bad. Again, this is quite common for Lenovo ThinkPads. I am coming from an Apple product, which historically has better speakers, so I was just unaware of this. Additionally, I am not a fan of how easily the black on the laptop grabs the oil off my skin; it looks like I just ate a triple Whopper and smushed the buns in my hands and then just started typing on my laptop, but I assume this is just the nature of the black color with whatever type of polymer was used to make the casing. I may be missing a thing or two, but overall 5/5. For my current workload and personal hobbies this computer is the perfect balance between lightweight and powerful. The laptop arrived in excellent condition, all things considered, and is aesthetically gorgeous. I will be purchasing more items from this website/seller in the future.

My laptop arrived promptly and was in perfect working order when it arrived. I run Linux (CachyOS), and I had no troubles installing and setting up my machine. The keyboard has great action and is fairly quiet. It has a white backlight, which is nice. I prioritize having a number pad, which this has without being too big of a machine. The screen is clear and has good brightness adjustment. The sound quality is good for a laptop, and the video quality is good for video meetings. There doesn't seem to be any issue with echo when using the built-in mic in video meetings. Some reviews complained of overheating issues with this particular laptop (and old Dells in general), but I haven't had any issues. The track pad has a little too much resistance to clicking for my taste, and I'm a little disappointed that there are only two USB-A ports, but my last laptop was from a higher-end line, so it's a fair compromise for the price. In the attached photos, the last 3 are the only damage evident as a machine with a "Good" rating. They are all very slight scuffs to the case. Very impressed.

I’ll be the first to admit I was incredibly nervous about ordering a refurbished laptop. Buying tech online can feel like a gamble, and I spent quite a bit of time debating whether or not to pull the trigger. After seeing the 5-star rating and the warranty included, I finally decided to go for it, and I am so incredibly happy that I did! The listing rated the condition as "Good," but honestly, if you told me this was a brand-new machine straight out of the box, I would believe you. It is absolutely flawless no scratches, no scuffs, and it runs like a dream. The Ryzen 7 Pro and 32GB of RAM make it a powerhouse for all my management tasks and spreadsheets. Having that warranty really eased my anxiety and gave me the peace of mind I needed to make the purchase. To whoever refurbished and prepped this device for me: thank you so much! You are awesome and clearly take pride in your work. If you're on the fence about buying, just do it. This exceeded every expectation I had!

The device came as described intel i7 1365u - 32 GB RAM - 512 GB SSD. I purchased "good" condition and there was the tiniest cosmetic defect on the bottom of the laptop. Very happy with my purchase, keyboard and screen came perfectly clean. The pc looked brand new. This was the best deal I could find anywhere for the specs. Would buy from here again. Only minor thing, the inital "delivery date" was way too early at first, but I mean that doesn't affect my rating.
