Jargon Buster!

1) "Wear and tear" is 'reasonable' use i.e. may have feint marks on the casing
2) "Scratch": a line/mark that is visible when looked at close up
3) "Scuff": a mark upto about the size of a thumb print
4) Some of products come from corporate companies where they are security marked; as this product has been managed out of their inventory this isn't an issue but it does affect the lookin of the machine. These light marks are bearly visible on this grade.
5) Your laptop has thousands of tiny "pixels" or dots; sometimes these die and turn black
6) When you use a keyboard you gradually wear some of the keys on the keyboard; in this case they are slightly worn
7) Where a security mark is large or noticeable it is deemed to be indelibly marked - again this doesn't effect the machine's use
8) Depending on the laptop there will be one or two latches on the lid which keeps it closed.
