I've had this laptop since the pre pandemic years. Don't even remember exactly when I got it. Think it’s been about a decade. As you can see, it has been factory reset. I haven’t been actively using it for a few years now, probably before the pandemic. I'll be honest, I don't even remember how the damage on the hinge occurred, that's how long it's been, but it does open and close smoothly. I can demonstrate that in person. It has a CD slot, as well as multiple USB connections, as shown.
