Laptop arrived quickly and in great shape. Looks like a new keyboard and screen were swapped in, very pleased!

Pros:
The laptop came in very good physical and cosmetic condition.
The SSD still had 100% life and the battery only had 10% wear.

It performs as well as you would expect for a machines with these specs.

Cons:
I didn't receive an email notifying me the laptop shipped until the day it arrived.

The laptop came pre-loaded with Microsoft Office in three different languages (you still have to buy a product key, the program just comes pre-installed) and McAfee. I understand the installing Office but McAfee is clearly just bloatware. However one piece of bloatware isn't that big of a deal especially consider all the programs that come pre-installed on most factory new laptops these days.

The boot time is a little slower than I'd expect for a machine with an SSD, but I think that it just due to how dell designed the laptop.

Conclusion:
I'm pretty happy with it. Like I said, it came in great condition and performs well. If I received an email when they actually shipped it instead of a week later and McAfee didn't come pre-installed this would be any easy 5 star review.
