Condition

As shown in the pictures and video, this laptop is in Excellent Used Condition. It is fully functional, with only a few very minor cosmetic imperfections typical of business use

• Minor scuffs / scratch marks to the lid & a faint sticker mark to the front left corner
• A few light scuffs / scratch marks to the bottom case
• Slight shine to some of the keys, purely cosmetic all keys work just fine and have been properly cleaned and sanitized see below section for further details.

These imperfections are purely aesthetic and do not impact the laptop’s performance. Please refer to the pictures and video for a closer look at its condition

Preparation, Diagnostics & Cleaning

The internal fan has been removed cleaned, hoovered then new thermal paste applied to the heat sink, fan re-seated and sprayed with compressed air to ensure of a cool quiet running experience as you can see from the good processor temperature reading via the Core Temp App. The motherboard is checked for any signs of liquid spills and sprayed with compressed air to remove any dust or debris. The keyboard has been fully tested and cleaned with a sanitizer solution  to remove any dirt and grime! All exteriors of the laptop are then cleaned with a sanitizer solution using a microfibre cloth. The screen is cleaned using a non-smear solution and a specialized LCD screen cleaning cloth. All ports are checked and tested as working.

The SSDs have been checked using the Crystal Disk Info application and both report Good health and a good temperature as you can see. The laptop then has a full diagnostic scan to ensure there are no failings or issues, as you will see in the video it passed without any issues. It is then left to run for at least 24 hours (generally 48 hours) without been allowed to sleep or hibernate to ensure no issues develop.

Battery

This model has one internal battery, Windows has indicated 2:22 after a full charge the laptop has then been left to run on the battery without been allowed to sleep or hibernate or turn the screen off for 1 :30 hours after which Windows indicated 8:43 remaining @ 93% capacity. The Battery Info View tool is also used to obtain the readings of the battery health which is 77.3% as shown in the last picture in the listing photos. This will vary depending on usage and settings and is an indication only I offer no guarantees on the battery as it is a used consumable item.

As you will see the laptop has a tamper evident security seal on the rear of the laptop if this is removed or damaged this may invalidate the warranty and return process

All Windows, System & Bios Updates are applied at the time of listing so it’s ready to go!
