Screen: The screen shows minor bright spots, light scratches, and markings, but it still delivers clear visuals for browsing, streaming, or work. These imperfections add a touch of character without affecting overall usability (rated 7/10).
Casing: Expect some signs of wear with minor scuffs and a loose bottom cover on the left-hand side, giving it a well-loved feel. Despite this, the casing holds up well for daily tasks, reflecting its fair condition (rated 6/10).
Battery: Battery health is at a low 21%, so we recommend using it while plugged in for reliable performance. This is a serious issue that may require future attention, but it's still a solid pick for desk-based use.
Functions: Fully functional overall, with comprehensive system tests confirming smooth operation for everyday tasks like web browsing and document editing. However, the battery drains faster than usual, which is a serious issue but everything else, including the keyboard and ports, works as expected.
