Well it was a risk. I got it from a seller on Amazon for about £390 but I asked them a lot of questions first and only bought it when I was confident in their refurbishing process. It only has a three month warranty and they could only guarantee the battery to last an hour - but I have tested it and it lasted about five hours so that's a good sign
It's a Lenovo Thinkpad and even has a fingerprint scanner which I didn't even know about when I bought it but makes it seem even more futuristic 
The main reasons I bought it in particular were for the ergonomic keyboard it has (I suffer from RSI and it has an old style keyboard that is much more comfortable to touch type on than these new essentially flat keyboards), for the processor, and for the SSD. The way I figure it is if normal hard drives keep getting bigger according to whoever-it-was' law there comes a time when it's pointless: who needs a TB hard drive? I don't. I'd much rather have small, fast storage and store anything big on external drives. And I'm very very happy with the SSD so far, and the whole thing boots up in less than a minute so I think I've struck gold. Just got to hope that it goes the distance but early indications are that it will
