Is this boxed in the Microsoft retail packaging or is this some off brand?

Hi, it's a Microsoft retail packaging, and in the adapter you can find the seal of Microsoft (hologram).

Hi. It was a brand new laptop in original box and packaging, as you would buy from a store. Hope this helps.

The one I ordered came with retail packaging, the box did not indicated any games would come with it nor there is any games inside. I understand there are promotional packaging which may offer games, but mine did not.

it is in a brown box package that came originally from Acer. I opened it to take photos of the item.

No. The Cartridges that I received were sealed HP cartridges but were not in the retail boxes.

IF it was supplied by Microsoft, yes. If supplied by ProducedByAli, it might be suspect even if it is in the sealed box. Hope this helps.

I ordered the 1TB for a friend a few months ago and I'm pretty sure it came in retail packaging. I would guess 2TB would come Retail too.

I went with retail packaging. Came in the same packaging that you would see in best buy or any retail store. Didn't want to chance getting standard packaging.

As M. says, this is the "retail storefront" package, blue box and all. Includes installation goodies as opposed to the brown-box "bare drive only" system one would buy at an OEM warehouse (or by accidentally clicking the wrong button here). ; )

Mine was not original "retail" packaging, but it was in linksys packaging. Just a cardboard box, but included everything the retail box would.

There should be a slip of paper included in the box with the microsoft office (student and home edition) product key. Otherwise, ask the store that you made the purchase.

Maybe it is luck of the draw. I ordered directly from Amazon and received the bad cardboard packaging. I have not got around to installing the drive yet(hopefully this weekend), so do not know if there will be issues.

I don't have mine still, but it was definitely retail packaging. Something inside to hold it in place and then a box around it all. Pretty nice, really.

The one I bought from Amazon was retail packing in the original box. Bulk packing does not always mean the item is coming in its original packaging. Make sure uou are able to return it for a refund if you have issues.

It is in the original package, unopened and packaged very well for shipping. The more I use it the more I like it. A USB drive works great and keeps the memory on the hard drive freed up. Hope this helps

Open box mean used but mine didn't come shrink wrap just a seal. If seal is broke then its used. The boards had major problems wirh bent pins for the cpu. Review the pins you will notice if their bent then dont even attempt to use it.

It's pre-installed, but on a trial basis for a limited period of time. You can then have it permanently installed by buying it from Microsoft online.
