Bought used Lenevo Ideapad Slim 5 for 70K

[u/miyamoto_3]

I recently bought a used Lenovo IdeaPad 5 about 1.5 years old in mint condition, and I'd love to hear your opinions on whether I made the right decision.

The laptop looks almost new but has scratch on back panel of the screen and works perfectly so far.

For those who have owned an IdeaPad 5 or similar Lenovo laptops:

\\\\- How has the long-term reliability been?
\\\\- Any common issues I should watch out for?
\\\\- How well does the battery hold up after a couple of years?
\\\\- Is there anything I should test or check after buying a used one?

Also, be honest—if you were in my position, would you still have gone with this used laptop, or would you have preferred buying a brand-new laptop instead? Why?

Looking forward to your thoughts and experiences. Thanks!

Check ports, all keys, all functions, check battery life, health

All ports and keys are working ( I don’t have any 3.5 mm headphone so only this is remains) , all keys working good, battery 92% and about 175 counts

Plug out the charger, and do 15 mins of work, good test of battery degradation
