Pros: This is a nice budget machine with Windows 7 Professional. It handles an office workload just fine. I put another 2GB stick of RAM in it and haven't noticed any performance issues or poor workmanship.

Cons: It comes with a Windows 8 Pro installation disk, but when you turn the laptop on, you'll find that it's been downgraded to Windows 7 Professional.

Overall Review: The touchpad is different from the E530. When you press down to click, it moves the whole pad down. It determines right/left click by the position of your finger on the touchpad. The movement is actually kind of nice. It feels similar to those older mechanical keyboards and gives a satisfying click.

I ordered 28 refurbished laptops from 3 different sellers. The laptops I ordered from Atlanta Electronics arrived on time and in good condition. Unlike some of the other refurbishers, their laptops didn't have a single issue.
