Pretty good refurbished unit
Mine came with a shipping protector on the screen (Screen protector that you would want to take off right away), a new Samsung battery and back cover in bags and a generic USB charger and cable. There is no SIM card but that is in the description and you should know what you are getting into on that end. There was one nick on the outer bezel but otherwise it was in surprisingly good shape. I know that is just luck of the draw. It powered on fine and all functions I could test operated perfectly. The back camera is pretty good quality for a cell phone.

An absolute powerhouse for windows XP retro gaming if you can find one that works
These things are beasts. The 17" 1920x1200 screen is beautiful even by today's standards but is a little dim. You can upgrade the CPU to an x9000 and overclock to 3.4 Ghz, giving single core performance similar to a 3rd or 4th Gen i5 mobile.
The one massive problem with these things are the SLI GPUs. The fail and they always fail. They are pretty much a ticking time bomb. If you can find one with the very rare single 8700m, that is likely the best bet for XP Era games. They last and can play anything up to FEAR well.
With a single 8700m and x9000:
Doom 3 80-90 FPS at 1600x1200 and high settings.
Crysis 78 FPS average at 1600x1200 and high settings.

EXCELLENT USB midi interface
I picked this up to use with a thin client that I made into a midi sound module emulator, primarily for retro DOS gaming since MT-32 etc units are getting hard to find and expensive. This Roland unit is said to support all the special modes that are required to emulate the old hardware.
In any case, windows 10 loaded the drivers for it automatically and it just worked perfectly right off the bat. To me, it was absolutely worth a couple extra dollars to get a Roland unit.
