It hasn't seen active service in the last decade, but fired up immediately without issue and has continued to run on soak test reliably. The only hardware issue to report is that the battery has lost the ability to hold charge, which is unsurprising given the unit's age.

As with the other ex corporate laptops currently for sale, it has been cased it's entire life and used relatively little compared to a personal item, it is still in excellent condition.
