To be aware
- The lid was covered a soft felt like coating which over the year has deteriorated as seen in photo.
- The battery although shows 5 LED status, hold little charge, machine needs to always used with PSU.
- Sometimes even on PSU you still get a low battery message, usually just OK it and close.
- The Capslock key is missing
- Setting the machine, I noticed the DVD drive not working. Might be dust or something or just faulty now.
- Would benefit from swapping out HDD to SSD
- Only has 4GB Member, has a second slot for another stick. With 4Gb best kept to simpler tasks.
