They promise - i5 (recent vintage - 3 years old??), 16 GB, 256 SSD, and truly, the numbers are in fact i5, 16, 256, what they forget to mention is the SSD is of inferior quality (KingFast brand), and the machine is over 6 years old. However, more importantly is the pre-installed windows software is a copy of a copy of a copy, and so on, that the installation is buggy and the drive has to be wiped, and software reinstalled, or, better yet, replaced with a Crucial or some other name.
If you consider the screen at around $125, and another $25 for the keyboard and mouse, you can see the true cost of the unit is $350, which tells you more than I can, and if you dare open the unit to verify RAM or drive, you see enough dust bunnies to last a while. The refurbish center maybe trying their best, but the results insult you the buyer, and the Amazon Refurbish name.
Hopefully this detailed review will help the refurb factory revamp their processes.
If you are buying these units, be aware of what you are getting, and why.
