Windows 11 Pro offers enterprise-grade security features such as BitLocker encryption, advanced networking, Remote Desktop, and Group Policy management, making it well suited to business and IT-managed environments.

The defect is reflected in the pricing, offering outstanding value for a high-spec Surface Laptop 4 where performance and usability are not compromised.
Excellent vs Good grade (general guidance)
-
Excellent Grade: Minimal signs of previous use, with pristine screens free from scratches, cracks, or dead pixels, and only very light wear elsewhere.
-
Good Grade: Fully functional devices that may show more noticeable signs of use such as body scratches, heavier keyboard wear, or small dents or chips, while screens remain crack-free with only minor blemishes.

"Excellent" Grade
Devices in this category appear like new, with very minor wear. Expect light or fine scratches on the screen that are shallow enough not to catch on a fingernail. The edge around the glass is virtually flawless, save for possible light scratching around the power port. The back plate may show light/fine scratches, including on the Apple logo, with any discoloration being minimal.
"Good" Grade
These devices are characterized by being fully tested and functional even if they have body scratches, minor paint chips, or a small hairline crack on the screen. Screens are free from dead pixels but may exhibit slight scratching from moderate use.
Refurbished Desktops, Laptops and Monitors
"Excellent" Grade - Laptops
Reserved for units that show barely any signs of previous use, these laptops may exhibit very minor scuffing or abrasions, associated only with minimal standard use.
