This computer has been through a lot. Firstly, as a disclaimer, it's fully functional. It's actually still pretty fast. I've never had any real performance issues with this laptop. But it's got some issues:
- It's got some sort of screen damage which comes and goes. It seems to be water damage, but looks like there's some heat damage too. It's best seen on more solid colors such as a plain white or grey background. Unless its a solid color, it's very difficult to see. You can tell on the picture of the desktop. Overall, it still looks great!
- The spacebar is pretty much broken. It's already gone through one keyboard replacement, and probably needs another. The spacebar fully works when hit from the LEFT side, but is broken when you click it with your RIGHT finger. This was challenging for me specifically, as I hit the spacebar with my right finger, as do most people.
- The battery is decent, but slowing down. No really "issue" to note here, but something that could potentially be one in the future.
Other than that, the computer works as it should.
There is definitely cosmetic damage. Daily wear scratches and dents on the top, some stuff on the bottom. The screen remains in good shape physically.
If you replace the keyboard, you can have a fully functioning, solid laptop with a slightly wonky screen for relatively cheap. Thanks!
