  2. I’ve just purchased a used Dell 5420 laptop for my junior school so that he can do online school work and it is working so good . It’s a business class laptop and as used at home so 4 hours battery is sufficient and it also plays games like asphalt 9 very well. I’m happy that for a junior , its built quality is premium
