No scratches whatsoever, looks brand new, the screen came with fingerprints sorted that out with monitor cleaning stuff. Even checked the hard drive status which is good,. The only downfall was the adaptor supplied(European) fortunately had a South African adaptor. Loving this notebook so far.. Moving from Windows 7 to windows 8 is a new experience for me... The notebook is a touch

. Going to extend the warranty next week 12 % for 1 year, 2 years 15% of the value. R900 for 2 years. Rather be safe than regret it later

Will apply all patches and updates later on today - at first I didn't even know where the off button is.... I miss the START button

Tiles are irritating reminds me of my Windows Phone. Hopefully Windows 10 will be a better experience
