On the plus side, the laptop feels sturdy enough to make you think it is not that cheap. The keyboard felt okay too. The screen was perfectly bright for indoor use (I did not try it outside). The specs were more than enough for most common tasks. It has a fingerprint reader that worked consistently.
On the not so nice side I have read, here in SD, that overtime the housing starts getting loose. As mentioned before, the processor seems to run a little bit underpowered, but I do not know if that was part of the reasons why it was sold as refurbished in the first place.
I think it can end up being a decent laptop if one is lucky enough to get a working one, especially if a decent amount of care is given. It is definitely not high end or a gaming laptop.
Best of luck should you decide to get one of these.

The "refurbs" for $329 appear to just be customer returns. Several people, including myself, have had bad luck with these. Mine died after a couple of rounds of Memtest 86 and back it went. For the small price difference I'd advise avoiding these and getting a new one.

Avoid! You have been warned.

All forgivable for this price point, but definitely not the same as using a XPS.

The BIOS is unlocked. You can set whatever wattages you'd like in there, including for the GPU.
