Grade Comparison: Excellent vs Good

When selecting your certified refurbished unit, consider cosmetic grade to match your priorities:

Excellent Grade: Reserved for units showing minimal signs of previous use. Features very light keyboard wear, pristine screens free from scratches or dead pixels, and only standard minimal wear from light use. Ideal for professional environments where aesthetics matter.

Good Grade: Fully functional units with more visible cosmetic wear including scratches on the chassis, heavier keyboard wear, and possible small dents or paint chips. Screens may show subtle blemishes or uneven light diffusion (no cracks). Perfect for personal use, educational settings, or budget-conscious buyers prioritising performance over appearance. Both grades perform identically.
