The negative is these units seem to have the fabled touch screen cracking issue. I wonder if they also have the touchpad issues with heat? I saw this pointed on previous SD's for this unit and I personally had the issue on my Samsung Chromebook 2 or whatever it is with a 4K screen.
The last thing is, 1080/FHD is pretty low for this day and age. I get it, this is ~$100-200 less than previous deals (or close to it); yet, also used and it looks a bit clunky.

The touch screen issue is only on the Pro versions AFAIK. I have had the book2 360 for well over a year and travelled with it a lot. The screen is gorgeous and it works with my Tab S Pen.
See what condition it's in when I pick it up later today.
edit: I did have to search for it in their outlets page - it didn't show up on the laptops page for some reason. I filtered by laptop and Samsung then looked through different locations near me.

Like you I did have the touch digitizer malfunction on my Samsung Chromebook Plus as well. Rendered it practically dead. Samsung warranty is also a joke so if the screen crack issue is a big deal I'd see if you can get an extended warranty.
What puts Apple apart is the service. I've yet to find a windows OEM manufacturer that actually cares about service. Dell, HP, Samsung, Asus, Microsoft all have really bad product support after purchase

Thank you for the write-up!
I might take a ride down to the BB and pick this up to see how it looks. I am really looking for a replacement for my Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 (pro whatever it is); however, it is super light. My MBP 2011 and now MBP 2024 (14") feels 3-5x heavier than the chromebook is and of course it has a much nicer keyboard, screen (non-touch), and processor. The battery is also amazing on the MBP with the M3Pro.
I have sent dozens of Dell systems in for repair on the consumer side - mostly clean although sometimes the units need to go back. My issue with the new Dell systems is the touchpad and mouse clickers. They feel so firm.
The only time I think it actually matters (ish) is for gaming or maybe content creation. Some programs might not support a certain ratio. Now, who is hardcore gaming or content creating on a 2-in-1's built in screen is a different conversation.
Buy the one you like the most (of course) however the people impacted by the difference is not worth drawing a line in the sand over...
BTW, Samsung laptops have very poor resale value, so these open-box deals are a good way to not lose your shirt if you ever plan on selling or trading in. I would advise on ever buying a new one, even on a slick deal. Been there, done that, bad memories.
