No, it is not. For an open-box at this price, this should either be the 5070 Ti or 32GB RAM. This has neither.
We have had a Certified Refurbished Predator Helios Neo 16/16S (OLED/IPS 5070 TI 32GB RAM) from Acer with a 2-year Allstate warranty for around this price. These, as brand new, go on sale around $1499-1599 after every few weeks at Best Buy and Microcenter.

Helios can sell at these prices but I don't think we will see a G14, let alone a G16, with a 5070TI drop to $1350 any time soon. I think this laptop is much more portable and gets better battery life. The quality and build is also more premium. It looks nicer than Helios. I have my eyes on a G14 with 5070TI. Curious to know what you think would be a good price for that if bought new on sale or if bought open box excellent this year?

I know open box is YMMV but I got a G16 open box last week amin excellent condition and the whole chassis creakes so bad I returned it. Just something to check. You can ask the store to open it and inspect it before purchase.

Lack of numpad is an automatic "No" for me, but soldered ram? That's a "hell no"
