Great bargain
This computer is a great deal if you can catch it in stock. It is actually a lighter blue than what is shown, but a nice color regardless. There were small scratches in the lid of the computer I bought, but they were literally so minuscule I didn't notice them until I looked at it at the right angle... Read more ...
PROSPlenty fast for a work machine, PRICE
