I did not know what to expect when I purchased the unit. It was a refurbished item, and one never knows what to expect. However I am pleased with the product. The case was in very good shape for a product that was used. I have no complaints.

Contrary to the sales ad, there was no OS installed nor on DVD. Henceforth, we could not use the computer and had to give it away.
