I bought this so I could work from home, it's my first laptop.
After ordering online, the device was available for pickup at my local branch the same day, which was great.
Everything seemed ok, but the battery dropped away very quickly. There is no mention of battery life in the advertisement so I was not sure what to expect, except that a workmate of mine was getting 5 or 6 hours life out of his. I took it back to PB and it was sent for testing, and then after 3 days it was agreed that there was a fault.
A replacement was available in another 2 days.

The next one I was given was filthy. Dust and grub in the keys, sticky around the mousepad, which had a stuck right-click key. I took some keys off to clean them myself.
The battery on this one is ok - not awesome - I will try it out in more detail during the warranty.
Speaking of the warranty, I was told that the 3 month warranty would be from when I purchased the first machine, not when I was given the replacement. That's not very friendly, given that it took almost a week to troubleshoot and replace it.
How these can be advertised as 'Reconditioned' is beyond me. If my experience was normal then the machines are not even given a screen clean, nor the batteries tested.
Pretty disappointed with that part.
All in all I would buy an ex lease machine again, but my advice is to wait for a sale if you can, and be sure to take it back if there is any sort of problem.

I purchased this to monitor and upload two web cams plus a met station and tide information onto our web site. It replaces 2 Atom powered tablets which collectively struggled. It works just fine, and so I'm very please with the machine. I purchased this to monitor and upload two web cams plus a met station and tide information onto our web site.

I needed a little laptop urgently to take notes on my clinic software- this little beauty met my budget and size needs. The service at PB Tech Tauranga was outstanding!

Fast, light, nice spec & very portable. They seem to stand up to the wear & tear of everyday use, and being carried around in utes.

Pleased so far. Nice fast snappy response and the keyboard is backlit as well which was an unexpected bonus.

I bought two. One came with a 65W power adapter, the other came with a 130W big/heavy power adapter that works but it looks like its meant for a different machine or a Dell docking station. Pleased so far. Nice fast snappy response and the keyboard is backlit as well which was an unexpected bonus.
