Dell Latitude E6540 Business Laptop 15.6 Inch Intel Core i7 i7-4610M 3.0 GHz 8GB DDR3L 500GB Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD Webcam DVDRW Windows 7 Pro

The customer experience with the Dell Latitude ER6540 appears to be significantly marred, primarily due to issues with the condition of the laptop and software legality, despite the initial excitement about the purchase. Upon unboxing, while the laptop itself was described as being in "perfect condition," the battery proved to be a major disappointment. Initially reported to hold an impressive average battery life of 10 hours, in reality, the battery lasted less than an hour, leading to frustration for the user. Compounding this issue, the customer found that the laptop contained numerous privacy traces and junk files, indicating that it had not been properly refurbished. The customer had to conduct extensive system tests and clean-ups, revealing widespread outdated drivers and security concerns. Additionally, the unregistered and seemingly activated Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 raised legal questions and concerns about using non-transferable software. Overall, the customer left the process feeling deceived and overwhelmed by the need for extensive repairs and legal inquiries regarding the software, suggesting a lack of professionalism in the refurbishment process. Despite the initial enthusiasm for a secure machine, the reality was fraught with issues that led to dissatisfaction. **
