    Interesting that they don't use the original packaging ect...
    Very simple in box, with paper version of manual. No extras.
    Plain cardboard box. Comes with battery installed. No plastic sleeve for the LID.

    Also found a strange plastic tab on the LID. Seems to be between the LCD and the exterior gloss plastic. Anyone know what that might be?

    Regards,

    Mike

    Told you it's cheaper for a reason! Why else do you think you're paying for ~50% off the MSRP? All outlet laptops come in a plain brown box with no accessories other than psu, cord, cd's, and manual.
