You won't find these specs for less.
I have this machine and my only complaint is that the screen is too reflective.
Thank you
Other than that, the laptops have been look like name. Fair is missing the charge brick.
edit: from what I'm reading this laptop is full wattage at 175w. Just bought one coming from a gen 6 legion 7 I will see what I think of build quality

Excellent are usually that, excellent. People who bought it, maybe tried it out for an hour, then returned it. If you're that worried, add the Best Buy Plus membership. $50 and you get two months to try it out. I've regularly buy Excellent open box and almost always satisfied. It's the 'Good' or 'Fair' ones you need to worry about, but you can just return it you don't like it. 'Fair' usually have issues, like missing box, power supply, could be a demo floor unit, etc...I buy 'Fair' sometimes, it's fine if you don't mind the missing things or a few issues (like possibly a lot of battery cycles). Definitely stick to 'Excellent' if you want something close to new. I don't typically buy warranties on laptops, so don't know. But I've heard good things about the Geek Squad warranty. Either should be fine I suppose.
This is a good laptop, bought mine new with almost similar specs (1tb instead of 2tb, but the 1tb is a Gen 5 drive) for a few hundred more, but I got a really good deal and who knows when those deals would come back. If I didn't already have this laptop, I would jump on this.
The Omen Max is temping for sure for the 5080. Even I am tempted by that, not for gaming, but for the dual Nvidia encoders and decoders for video editing duty (5070 only has single nvenc and nvdec). However, the Omen Max weighs almost 6 pounds compared to 4.4 pounds for the svelte 7i -- that's a significant difference. I tried out a Zephyrus G14 recently with the 5070ti but it's a pricey machine that is cheapened by touchpad rattling. The keyboard and touchpad on the 7i are a joy to use, and the 7i simply looks amazing in glacier white. I can see a gamer wanting the 5080 on the Omen Max, but if you're more into video editing then the 7i has a better screen and color accuracy. Of course, you can always connect a better quality external display.
This Omen Max is a 5080 though. The 5080 laptop performs similarly to a 4090 laptop which is a substantial jump from the 4070.
