Understanding Cosmetic Grades
Excellent Grade: Laptops in Excellent condition show minimal signs of previous use, with very minor scuffing or abrasions from standard use only. The keyboard displays light wear, and importantly, the screen is pristine—free from scratches, cracks, chips, dead pixels, dark spots, or discolouration. These units offer an almost-new appearance.
Good Grade: Good grade laptops are fully functional with signs of more extensive use compared to Excellent grade units. This may include visible scratches on the laptop body, heavier keyboard wear, and possible small dents or minor paint chips. Screens remain crack-free but may show slight uneven light diffusion or subtle blemishes.
