Pros: - Light - 7-8 hour battery life - Matte screen - Able to put Linux on if you know what you're doing (galliumos) - 1080p 60fps YouTube plays no problem, same with Twitch - 3-5 second boot times

Cons: - Awful white - Single click pad, like a Macbook, I did not know it had this but isn't a deal breaker

Overall Review: It has some scratches on the case and by the hinges, but I knew it was a refurb. Overall this is a nice laptop for someone who wants to sit on the couch or in bed and watch movies or web surfing or someone who doesn't want to sit at their desktop all day. Light and cheap so it'd be good for kids or a non tech savvy parent. It can run some steam games on low-mid at full res if you run linux on it, it can also run Minecraft at 30+ fps with some tweeks.

You get what you pay for.

Pros: Cheap, not but ugly, decent build. You get what you pay for. There are better cases that cost more, but for a dirt cheap budget build this is an A+.

Cons: Pretty small, full ATX almost didn't fit, modular PSU had to be pushed in, cable management.... HA. Front audio is garbage. No SSD holder. But for $28? it's a good case. My GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P, with a GTX 960 almost didn't fit.

Pros: Built well, sheathed, did what it need to. But...

Cons: It doesn't really show in the pictures that it was molded on one side, had to take a knife to it but it works well.
