This computer works great! It's come in so handy now that I'm working from home. I've even typed up papers and have done hw just fine. I was a little skeptical because of the negative reviews, and well, being refurbished and all, I was a little worried. But it actually works really good. Other than a few scratches here and there, it looks slightly lightly used but almost new. Works like a brand new one! It's very updated too.
