Interesting that they kept the Yoga branding but it's not a 2-in-1

I got this exact laptop right before spring. It was also used from Best Buy and in great condition. Back then I got it for around $750. It's been great. Plays Black Ops 6 quite well.

Yea, that's a bummer. I'd probably pull the trigger if it were a 2-in-1. I know it's kind of gimmicky, but I enjoy the form factor(s).I'm still using an old IdeaPad Yoga 13. lol

So after posting this, I picked it up at my local Best Buy. For context, I previously had a Macbook Air M1 13" for my personal laptop (I also regularly use a Macbook Pro 16" M1 Max as well for work) and was looking for a 16 inch 120fps screen for my next laptop. After using it for a few hours, it seems like there is a very high chance that I'll be returning it before the 15 day period.
Pros -
- Screen is great even though it's IPS. The 165HZ makes browsing really smooth and scrolling is pretty satisfying on long pages.
- I prefer Windows Hello to Fingerprint auth
- General Performance also seems pretty good (browsing, videos) from my limited use.
- Gaming performance is obviously going to be great since it has a dGPU
- Webcam quality is great
Cons -
- Have to use the included adapter to charge. I usually carry a high wattage usb c brick to charge all my devices, but my laptop doesn't charge through usb c (both ports).
- Maybe I'm just used to the unibody design of the Macs, but there is so much creaking and bending in this laptop. The entire bottom makes noises with the slightest movement. Opening and closing the lid also doesn't sound the greatest either with a bit of flex.
- The keyboard/trackpad layout is atrocious in my opinion. Since the palm rejection isn't great. I constantly have to move my left palm to let clicks and drags of my right hand to register.
- The keys are a lot smaller to fit the numpad on the right which is also tiny and typing feels cramped.
- The trackpad is large and glass, but is not haptic, and coming from a Macbook makes it jarring and difficult to use. This could be something that I can adapt to, but I would prefer a haptic trackpad.
- Gets quite hot during regular use like browsing with a Youtube video playing.
- As other reviewers have said, battery is terrible without a ton of quality of life reducing changes (e.g. reducing to 60HZ).

I'd probably do the same. Having to use an OEM proprietary charger is a deal breaker for me. USB-C or no sale. Most of your other cons are just you being used to Mac. For most Windows laptop users, they're a non-issue. The power consumption / short battery is sort of obvious with an "H" processor (an older one at that), and a discrete GPU is going to kill the battery and make heat.

I got about a month ago a solid but certainly weaker CPU, the Lenovo - Yoga 9i 2-in-1 14" 4K OLED Touchscreen Laptop with Pen - Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with 32GB Memory - 1TB SSD - Cosmic Blue for $452 open box.
Love the screen and the 2 in 1 design. I was concerned whether it could run DaVinci Resolve with the non-dedicated graphics but so far so good.

How is the condition of the so called "GOOD"?

My experience with Best Buy's used item came from a used but "Excellent" washer. That washer was in terrible condition. There were quite a few scratches and many pieces of packaging tape on the body.

Mine pretty much matched the description of Open-Box Good. It didn't come with the original box, no protective stickers, and there were a few fingerprints on the screen. The bottom of the laptop had some sticker residue, but barely noticeable. Besides that, it looked pretty much new.

Thanks for the reply!
Just picked one up. One of the best buy associates said it's probably not a returned item. Most likely it's a display unit from the store because of the way the power supply is packed. Well, I have 15 days to return it if I don't like it.

It had no Pen and no charger but there were no scuffs or damage to it.
