I think it's their product line for corporate users, think about Thinkpad (well, just from HP). Should be solid. Definitely better than Envy, Inspiron, or Pavilion

Does Microcenter accept return of laptops via mail/shipping or only personally in store?

I think these are new. It says "25+ NEW IN STOCK" when I look at it for pickup today from my local-ish store.

Can confirm it is a refurb as the question was asked on the product page with the following answer:

What's the build quality of elitebook? Where's does it rank compared to Pavillion, Pavillion plus, envy and spectre?
Use one at work. I think it's built better than a couple thinkpads I've had. I still call it my hunk o junk though because it pales in comparison to my MacBook Air in terms of keyboard touch, screen etc and Air is 2+ years older. Don't want to get into the old Mac versus Windows argument as it really is apples to oranges to some degree but for working on large documents with lots of typing or design and editing, I prefer the Mac because of the keyboard and the touchpad works much better. Don't need to use an external mouse with the MacBook Air.

One, touch screen is not mentioned anywhere in the description, so that means it's not.
Two, this for sure has a 250-nits 45% NTSC display despite it not being mentioned anywhere. The 1000-nits one is a privacy-guard display which actually sucks in terms of viewing angles.
Third, this is a business oriented laptop and those people don't need a high-end display. So, these specs are perfectly fine at this price.

Even if this is refurb, is this the best laptop for ~$300 going on right now? Might snag this after missing a couple recent deals

It's a not deal if it is refurbished 2 years old off lease laptops beaten to crap. If you have a corporate job, would you like to have someone's old laptop after 2 years?

Fair point. Im a noob and that's why I ask :p

There's a best buy deal for $330 for a new HP AMD Ryzen 5 7520U. Think that is better than this?

Weirdly it's not mentioned in the description nor anywhere else I could find so my assumption is the same as yours.

I cannot comment on the G8, but I had a work issued G7 and absolutely despised it. It was dog slow, fans were nearly always audible and would ramp up CONSTANTLY, terrible display, useless trackpad, the trackpoint mouse would phantomly move on its own to the point it had to be completely disabled, and laughable battery life. The build quality was decent but no where near that of any Mac I've used since Apple moved away from plastic bodies.

I much preferred working on my mid-2012 MacBook Pro, which performed better in every single way despite being released 8+ years prior to the G7.

Fortunately, our company switched contact's from HP to Dell and the Latitude that replaced it at least performs much better although the screen quality, trackpad, and battery life leaves much to be desired. The EliteBook's build quality and keyboard slightly better than this Latitude's.

YMMV with the EliteBook.

That one is not bad, the only drawbacks are the display is not great and only has one data only USB-C port.
