This 14-inch business laptop features an Intel Core i5-8265U 8th generation processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, and a 256GB SSD, delivering reliable performance for business applications, multitasking, and productivity workflows.
BS8887-240 British Standard Kitemark Certification
This laptop meets the BS8887-240 British Standard Kitemark, certifying quality and reliability through a comprehensive refurbishment process. The top and bottom covers are fully repaired and repainted in matte, gloss, and soft touch finishes matching the original specification. Palm rests, sides, and bezels receive cosmetic refreshing to restore the professional appearance.
The 14-inch Full HD 1080p screen undergoes pressure mark removal and new polarizer fitting to ensure a scratch-free display. Every component is tested at individual level, including the battery which is guaranteed to hold a minimum of 70% of original OEM capacity. Keyboards are repainted using a specialized process that prevents fading and chipping, unlike standard reprinting methods.
