Obviously a huge YMMV, being Best Buy open box - but still some in stock around me in NYC.
I picked up one in Fair Condition for $1340. Mine looks brand new, but there was no charger in box.
I actually opened mine up to inspect after picking up, and after pointing out missing charger Best Buy sent me to Geek Squad where they actually hooked me up with a new charger. Again, a huge YMMV - I probably lucked out with a cool employee as it seemed unofficial lol
Pros: FPS on games is awesome so far - hooked it up to a 4K TV and getting 150+ FPS on max settings, with DLSS. Night and day difference from my 2060 Zephyrus laptop. Build quality is also very good, and fans are loud but not nearly as bad as Id feared based on reviews, much quieter than the Zephyrus it's replacing.
Cons: Heavy laptop, and comically large charging brick. All the reviews say it's a big charging brick so I was expecting it to be large, and was still blown away. Looks like something from 1998.
Overall, a 4080 for this price is a steal, so just giving a heads up

These are less "laptops" and more "portable desktops", so for the target audience it doesn't matter
For future reference, though, are open box laptops from Best Buy guaranteed to at least have the charger?
Hopefully that's a dumb question, but on most of the condition descriptions, it says "may be missing accessories," even when the only accessory is the charger.

They had a few in stock, and I asked if I could check those out and maybe swap it or pay extra for the "good condition" open box if it had a charger...and the guy just found one in the back and put it in my box.

I would be curious how much they are charging for extended warranty with accidental. I just picked up a Dell G5 with an i9 13th gen and a 4070. It works good... it was like $1300 with the upgrade to 3 years AP. btw, it has the same ridiculous power brick.
Lastly, how is the heat on that unit?

Heat is OK, GPU is really low, usually under 70 C....CPU is a bit higher, usually around 80-90....but I have only had it for 2 days so take that with a grain of salt
