Just picked up a satisfactory one. How can I check to see if it was a display that's been turned on for months.

If you ever need to check to see if a computer has been used to hell and back (if windows hasn't been wiped), go to event viewer and look at the security logs and system logs. It says every single time someone logs in there and you'll be able to tell by general time stamps if a computer has been on all the time or only every now and then. This works for any windows ran component, and can be used to catch people who claim it's barely been used and store display models.

Took a chance on a Fair Condition unit. Good to know about the event viewer security logs to see use. Guessing it's probably a store display model. When buying an open box, does it typically come with the manufacturer warranty? How is Best Buy with returns of these, if I don't find it satisfactory? Mostly just going to try to set this up with my Atgames Pinball, so think it will be just fine. Thanks OP.

Will this laptop play the Harry Pooter Hogwarts game? My current laptop has plenty of RAM and 1TB of SSD, but the graphics card won't allow the game to play... seriously considering this deal because of all the newer games will be hard to play on my old laptop.

Is the 3050 Ti an upgrade from the 2060?
Not really, the rtx2060 performs slightly better and has 6gb of Vram compared to the 4gb on the 3050 Ti

Yes , but you need to add an additional 8gb ram . Minimum is 16gb

Really want this because my steam deck requires so many workarounds for some games, or they don't work at all. Gets on my nerves.
Which games? Other than multiplier requiring anti-cheat I have had stupid good luck with the Steam Deck even with games listed as "unsupported." Easy 100+ games installed and played.

Now, I'm talking about launching games natively from Steam. GOG, Epic, etc via launches such as Heroic are a different story. Still not a big deal to get a game working. Just check protondb.com, pretty much any 'fix' required is a single setting or Proton version and a dozen other people have figured it out for you. When in doubt try launch with Proton Experimental, if that doesn't work try launching first time in desktop mode; every launch afterwards should work fine in gaming mode. 99.7% of game issues one of these two steps solve.

Now, if you are playing multiplier or expect to run a 7" screen at 4K you aren't going to have consistent success.
