You did good. Was that Ebay or what?

It was on ebay. I was actually watching Intel versions sell then noticed the AMD version had 8 cores and was selling for around the same price, so I purchased one.

Post when it arrives! I resisted buying an IdeaPad with comparable specs for $500 (although that was new).

It arrived earlier today.

I placed it next to an old 2014 13" MacBook Pro for scale.

I think it's in very good condition, I would say lightly used. The smudges from the ebay pictures are only noticeable if it's under certain lighting. It seems to perform really well. I think the value to dollar on it seems really good, and I'm very happy with it. It seems like one of the best purchases I have made for it's price.
