This deal is back. BestBuy goes off and on with the $1099 price.

If you are OK with open box items they currently they have:
- Geek SQUAD Certified for $1025
- Excellent for $1002
- Satifactory for $947
- Fair for $924

Personally I would not go below excellent. BestBuy's Open Box quality control went downhill in the last a few years. I had to return "excellents" that had detached metal from the screen, dysfunctional keyboard etc.. All those were Lenovo though, your ASUS experience may be better.

Cheers!

I waited for this deal to come back and got it 2 days ago. I heard all about the heat issues and how to overcome that. That wasn't a concern for me.

However, what I didn't know, and wasn't highlighted in many Youtube reviews I watched, was the coil whine. It's listed in quite a few online reviews after digging into it. You will notice the coil whine when the 6700S is under load. If you are gaming, not a big deal because the fans will kick in and drown it out and you are wearing headphones anyway. But if you using this for creative editing, you could well hear it and it's a deal breaker for a lot of people.

They list things like turning on the keyboard backlights or plugging a USB device to fix it, but none of those work for me. Mine has a manufacture date of 11/2022 so it might have worked for older ones.

I am keeping mine because it's an amazing machine and has insane battery life on the go. I can deal with coil whine.

Just something to be aware of.
Why would they? It's new at the listed price, and they also shared potential open box pricing.

They've been alternating sales between this model and the 6800S one for $1299.

How does this one compare? I missed the last sale and I'm currently waiting for it to go $600 off again. If this one is better I'll go this route

Still waiting for the open box prices to go back down. They used to be $830-860 but Best Buy jacked up the price of open box units a while back and they still haven't come back down.

Honestly, at this rate I'm probably going to end up getting the 2023 model with the RTX 4060.

I'm not very computer savvy. Just looking for a good gaming laptop that can handle AAA games.
