No.
IFyou are willing to do this, YES.. but open it in store, turn on and make sure the dedicated gpu is working fine.
(I am typing on my G15 Advantage Edition now) these had a flaw of over applying the liquid metal which caused the liquid metal to work its way off the chip to the surrondings of the chip.. be cpu or gpu. Mostly GPU's.
So you would have people returning the laptops and stories that Bestbuy sold them as open box. (without poperly checking if GPU was shorted out).
What I did with my G15 Advantage Edition.. was straight after I took it out the box.. remove the back cover, disconnected battery.. removed ! sticker on the heat chamber and removed the head chamber. Exposing both CPU and GPU. then carefully and tediously removed ALL Liquid Metal. (there was a lot of it on the chips.. just flooded with the stuff).
Then I cleaned with rubbing alcohol 90 percent. Then re thermal pasted like a regular laptop desktop.
This swap out of Liquid Metal to regular thermal paste eliminates anything to do with over doing Liquid Metal. Problem solved.
Now, there were rebooting issues on these G15 Advantage Editions. After we (many forum threads including Discord ) finally got the issue passed onto the correct department of ASUS.. ASUS has put out 2 updates to resolve this issue. Yes, they are resolved.
One was " Hotfix " that installed a bios on the video card (vBios).. and the other was a Bios update.
After all this time from when the G15 Advantage Editions have been out, that has been fixed. Took a long time to sort out.
Now then, finally.. the RAM. You can get slow secondary timing RAM sticks, or fast.. luck of the drag. It was because of supply and demand and covid... ASUS put slow secondary timings in these models as well as regular secondary timing RAM.
It only has a 512 m.2 drive as well.
No dedicated MUX, BUT you can use USBc to Display port or HDMI cable to your external monitor. As long as you connect from USBc of the laptop, you are dedicated from the GPU 6800! So MUX switch results!
The battery on this is insane. 11 hrs just browsing web. You can dedicate programs to use the GPU like games.
There have been pictures of ASUS addressing the ' over flow of Liquid Metal ' issues by ' revisions' of protecting the surrounding of the chips by certain thermal tape applied. Looks slightly different then mine. Anyway, 100% remove the LM in either case.. it is only time where LM will cause an issue In My Opinion!
So, no, I honestly wouldn't recommend a open box.
Get the newer stock, chances are you have the revised thermal tape around the chips, and the secondary timings maybe faster on the RAM.

Apparently they fixed that issue, but better to run it hard maybe run a few benchmarks after you get it. This laptop even comes with MUX switch (USB-C output).
