Grade Explanation — Excellent grade units display only minor signs of use, often barely noticeable, with light wear on the keyboard and chassis consistent with careful professional handling. Good grade units remain fully functional with more visible cosmetic wear including light scratches and scuffs on the body, heavier keyboard wear, and possible small dents or dings on covers. Both grades are functionally identical—the distinction reflects cosmetic condition only, not performance capability.
