Overall I'm happy with this. My definition of "renewed" for a computer means it's been opened up, inspected, dust and dirt removed, cleaned, tested. I had reason to open this and I doubt it was opened. It still had a lot of dust in the fan. It works though. It's very quiet until you really make it work.
Bigger issue, after the installed Windows 10 was activated, it posted MANY warnings about viruses on the machine. Glad I hadn't installed the included wifi adapter with which Windows could have connected to my home network and possibly wreaked havoc.
I ended up booting this with a Linux flash drive. Machine runs well. It's fast enough to play 4K 60fps video with just a very minor amount of stutter. I haven't bothered running an anti-virus on the installed M.2 drive yet. I don't use Windows much so I don't really need it. I'll get to it eventually though.
The 3mm headphone port on the front is flaky. I have to pull out and push in the plug every time I boot it.
Fan did start winding up when playing the 4K 60fps videos. Fan doesn't get annoying when it's on. I really like the compact size. For the money it's just about an unbeatable deal. I will put a one terabyte drive in this once I've run it a while and have tested it thoroughly.
(ETA: 5/2/2024) Reinstalled the M.2 drive that came with this. Neither Microsoft Defender nor Avast anti-virus could remove whatever was on it. It was almost like any ability of these two programs to do anything was stopped. I pulled the drive and snapped in. No one needs that kind of issues. Scary stuff.
