Important distinction

Cosmetic condition and battery condition are different.

A laptop can look excellent while having average battery health, or show visible wear while still having strong battery behavior. Product listings should treat these as separate details whenever battery information is available.

Always review the unit photographs.

The written grade gives a summary. Photos and cosmetic notes provide the details that matter for the exact laptop you are purchasing.
