Contrary to popular belief, there is no industry standard on equipment grading! With this in mind we exercise caution when labelling 'Grade A/B/C'. We simply do not sell broken or badly damaged equipment as unhappy customers and returns do not benefit anyone
Our equipment is what others would consider grade A/B. This means that it will be fully functional and in the worst case scenario, have some light cosmetic signs of use. This can include light marks to the casing such as scuffs/sticker marks. Keyboards, track pads and palm rests may have a light shine to them but all keys will be fully legible
