Couple of things to avoid a bad experience:
Update your drivers. - DON'T SKIP THIS
Uninstall windows bloatware
Play in performance mode with the OS in "efficiency" mode. Custom 30W mode doesn't work right when running on battery. Also, the device doesn't perform well (compared to the alternatives) at lower TDPs. So you'll almost always want to play in performance mode.
Use Playnite "fullscreen mode" as your launcher. It's excellent. And the Legion Space app is terrible. As users, we really need to start pushing back on this half-baked crap devs have been launching lately.
Edit: I'll add the community support for this device is nothing like the Steam Deck or even the Ally. If you have a problem, you're probably on your own. That's the worst part.
Edit 2: Change your VRAM in the Bios to 4GB. 6GB option is coming soon with a Bios update. 8GB option is also available now.

This isn't really a "deal" as it's been available at this price for a while now.

The sticker listed 'Residue, Screen Scratches, and minor scratches'.
It was in perfect condition. No scratches on the unit at all. I put more fingerprints on the unit than it had when I opened it.
It looked like someone opened it, inspected the contents, and then put it all back.

Wow! $561 for the 1TB?

I was pretty concerned about the condition since I've never bought an open box item from Best Buy and it was listed as 'Fair'. Best Buy's site indicates that is for 'Significant cosmetic signs of use' and 'Vital accessories may be missing'. I was worried if I would be happy with paying that price for a banged up item missing accessories. A $188 discount seemed like it was worth a shot.
I expect it doesn't get much more YMMV than this but it worked for me.

Valve says they will support native dual boot some day and hopefully they'll provide better drivers then. But till then, if you are looking for something that's primarily a game pass machine I would recommend you go with Legion Go or ROG Ally.
