This laptop has a battery, but it does not work. The laptop will not come with a charger. The DVD drive can read discs, however the disc cannot be ejected, resulting in you having to use a SIM ejector tool, or a sharp needle to open it up. The hole is located next to the eject button. The laptop is slow, however, you can buy an SSD and additional RAM for it to be usable. Parts or not working. No refund.
