- I felt the Slim 5 16" felt a bit cheaper and was also NOT what I'd call slim. Also didn't work with any of my docks.
- Otherwise, the Pro's always seem fine if you don't mind a little chonk, but I have less recent experience with them.
- I've been shopping around recently to update my work/travel laptop for a 16" and ended up settling on the Slim Pro 9 2014
(runner up was Legion 7 2014)
- Ordered the Slim Pro 9 (i9 Ultra, 4060, 32GB, 1TB, mini-LED) for right about $1670 from Lenovo after stacking some coupon codes and a certain R website giving 15% back now.
—COUPON CODES: EXTRAFIVE, and two/three others from email/text signup that came within the first hour. I'd look them up, but they definitely looked like randomized per-customer codes. I also entered them a couple of times in different orders to get them to stick.
Bank Error in your favor
1. While in the store and with product in hand check the serial number on Lenovos site for repair history - and remaining warranty length. I was blown away that the one I had, had been bought 9 months prior and had lots of history.
2. Run as many checks as possible once you buy. Assuming that someone is trying to hide something. Best Buy is not dumb and to be honest rarely makes errors on pricing.
3. Open up the laptop and look around. Do the screws look like they have been opened several times. Are any of the stickers, adhesive out of place or missing, are all the right parts/right part brands in the machine as original spec (another issue is that people could buy to swap out parts - there have been a few rumors of that here).
4. Run a battery life check. That is also a good indicator of hours of use. Mine was already at 80% and given it was not a display model this set off a lot of alarms. You can check the battery through the command line prompt…type: powercfg /batteryreport
5. Finally my experience is that mild scratch and dents tend to be the best deals over totally new looking items. In my case I am sure lenovo replaced the motherboard (badly). And as tempted as I was to retain it and run it through Lenovo service based on a beautiful looking machine and a tremendous deal. I decided to return it based on the only 3 months warranty remaining. Sure I could have ponied up for an extended warranty but how much is your time worth and how much can you tolerate the blood pressure swings.
I have bought a bunch of good open boxes - from laptops to appliances. So I like the option.
Just be wary.
Same happened with my Legion I got a couple weeks ago. I think it's just luck of the draw and employees being bros
