    Delivery was delayed 2 days. When it arrived the box was torn, but the laptop was protected inside by excellent packaging – nice one.
    No scratches, performs well – only issue is battery life is only around 3 hours. But overall pleased we bought it and would use them again

    Excellent value. The refurbished machine is as good as new, easy to set up, fast for the price and has good battery life. The quality you’d expect from Lenovo

    Its a very good laptop.At first i found plugging in the usb-c cable to power the laptop in the first usb-c slot a bit tricky.You have to fiddle around to get it charging properly.But if you plug the same usb-c cable into the next slot down.It fits perfectly and charges perfectly.I think its the thunderbolt port.Its the perfect laptop if you are a IT student.Thankyou Lennovo!

    Great value used laptop. All good but came with windows and disk problems which I had to fix eg re-install Windows/ fix disk corruptions. This is normally a £1000 laptop with touchscreen so v good value. It does the job well and even has touchscreen which was a bonus.

    arrived in under twenty four hours, well packaged and courier delivered.
    Appears unused and brand new. A brand I was familiar with so I had it up and running in no time .
    Loaded with Windows eleven, a first for me, and very easy to use.

    Absolutely fantastic laptop for the price. Only a couple of tiny marks on the body, which are barely noticeable. Keyboard is clean with no wear on the keys, trackpad works with no issues. The screen is perfect, no dead pixels. It is touchscreen as well which I was not expecting.

    Came pre-installed with Windows 11, easy to setup and get ready for use. Start up is quick and it’s ready to use almost immediately. As a laptop for work/business its perfect.

    Obviously refurbs can come in all types of condition and I understand some of the frustrations mentioned in some peoples reviews, but my order is pretty much immaculate! only a few slight scuffs on the bottom which is to be expected. Unbelievable quialty and condition for £210. The insides are spotless too. I upped the RAM from 8GB to 24GB and it looks brand new inside. Very happy. Fans havent turned on yet so I’m not sure they’re working, but the CPU hasn’t been above 45 degrees as of yet.
