Especially with Best Buy Open Box. I am pretty sure they no longer test anything and log any return reasons anymore
Back to Slim Pro 7 (i or X)...Look up the infamous black screen issues. Computer turns on, fans, keyboard lights will turn on but it will not power the screen - pre/post BIOS, does not matter.
I bought a brand new one from Costco, in day two, the screen went black. Multiple youtube videos, hard resets later (including opening it up and disconnecting the battery) nothing.
Sadly, returned, Looked gorgeous, perfect size between 13.3 and 16", but was fatally flawed...

The computer runs flawless for me and I've daily driven it for almost a year. I guess I am just lucky and didn't get a dud.
Also, yes, Best Buy lets you return for any reason. They usually don't even open the box to check the item inside.

But this 2023 model doesn't seem to be an upgrade: same GPU, less hz and lower resolution, not much difference from Ryzen 6th to 7th-gen... Am I missing something?

The 7735HS is a rebranded 6800HS which is slower than your 6900HS.
The coding of the real new generation of AMD processors end in 40 or 45. Example, 7840HS.
I don't think 2GB extra would make a difference with a 3050 except in unique scenarios that I can't think off at the moment.

Differences otherwise (from the Costco 2022 model):
Lower res, dimmer screen, 90hz instead of 120hz
No Advanced Optimus (also no mux switch)
2023 has USB 4.0 but 2022 did not (Reason I returned mine) so this can be a big game changer for some people
2023 has 4 microphones instead of 2
2023 has 4 speakers instead of 2
2023 has slightly larger battery
2023 is slightly heavier now
2023 7735hs R7 cpu roughly same speed as 2022 R9 but possibly could be slower
2023 at the sale price of 999 is a much better bang for dollar overall
My opinion is that the 999 sale price of the Best Buy is a better bang than the once 1399 or whatever price the Costco one on sale was. I dont remember the absolute lowest price the 2022 Costco model got down to.
