## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the buy
*by A***R on 12 August 2026*

Great purchase. Value for money. Performs excellent

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid laptop with plenty of room for upgrades
*by M***C on 16 September 2026*

Very happy with this will now purchace another for my daughter for her school work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good cheap laptop
*by M***X on 3 May 2026*

I bought this laptop as I wanted something cheap but with fast processing speed to run xtool software and this was ideal. Being refurbished it obviously wasn't nee. Appearance wise its in pristine condition although the faceplate on the keyboard had been re-glued and is prone to catching my finger at the edge. Its running windows 11 and I have say that overall I am happy with it, but now after 6 months usage it is starting to get sluggish. Performance has dropped since I first purchased it. Keyboard is great and battery life also a good few hours before requiring a recharge. Touch keypad is good and the machine is quite durable.
