Christine, Darlington , “Housewife”

Score 10.0/10

+ It looked just like a brand new laptop, looks great with a black gloss finish.

- The nice black gloss finish shows up every fingerprint, the laptop came in a plain brown box, expected a proper retail box.

Score 9.0/10

+ As new -- can't believe it is reconditioned! Keyboard positive and responsive, with the numeric pad a real bonus. And the 17" screen is a huge improvement over my previous machine (Gateway). Can't comment on the battery life, as I am using it with mains supply in the meantime.

- Haven't found any yet, apart from the finger marks (but, hey! I'm not houseproud).
