Not saying it is a bad deal just keep in mind the majority of what is left is likely store demo models that have been on all day for nearly 2 years.
They are used.
You might get lucky with an actual customer return but generally at these discount levels BestBuy is shedding the hundreds of demos they need for their 1k+ stores.
Good news is that Microsoft should reset warranty to full if you contact them and explain it is a BestBuy open box.

OK, so here's a coincidence. I bought one of these open-box on Friday and returned it yesterday. I thought that with a discrete 4050 GPU it would be better than my Surface Pro 11 with the Snapdragon X Plus (10-core), it wasn't. On top of that, I installed CrystalDiscInfo and it showed only 62% SSD health, and a power-on time of over 13,700 hours! Obviously, it was the floor model that NEVER got turned off. Anyway, the performance was underwhelming so it went back.

What do you use to benchmark battery?

I just never understood why anyone would buy anything except a startup MacBook Air that now comes with 16GB RAM
Bigger screen or better refresh rate, but the M4 15" at $999 is an amazing deal. We really are living in a golden age of cheap laptops.

Because they don't like Macs, because you get more for your money with Windows vs a Mac. Bc windows pca can be bought for less. Because they don't want a system whose ram and ssd drive is not upgradeable. Most of the world, business and consumer uses windows.

Open a command prompt as administrator and type in "powercfg /batteryreport" (without quotes).

Probably display models -- these probably have been turned on years ago and never shut off. Good luck.

I'm in this camp. I have a MacBook Pro 4 for work and absolutely hate it. Use a surface as my personal laptop.
