Community Reviews

This Inspiron 14 open box stands out as a compact 2 in 1 with a strong Ryzen 5 8640HS, solid integrated graphics, and easy upgrade potential thanks to replaceable memory and a 2230 SSD. The build and upgradability make it feel stronger than similarly priced alternatives, and the open box pricing tiers look attractive when the unit is actually in decent shape. The main drawbacks are the 250 nit display, which is weak outdoors, and inconsistent open box condition, with some units arriving scratched, dirty, or even with failing storage. It is a better fit for indoor use and for buyers willing to inspect the condition carefully.

8640HS is an incredible chip to get at $255 with the best integrated graphics I've ever seen at this price point.

However I'm not seeing any in my area … I'd have to travel 40 miles.

Yes, plus it looks like the memory and 2230 SSD are replaceable:

Hmmmm. I got the HP Omnibook walmart deal for 479+ tax and bought HP extended care for 3 years for 100. I am considering returning all that and buying this thing with a 4 year geek squad thing, for 430 total.
Would that be smart? Even thought this only has 8 gb ram / 512 and the walmart deal had 16 / 1TB

I just picked up the "excellent" open box and it was far from excellent. It was clearly a prior display model with chips on the plastic, scratches on the screen, ripped off stickers, etc. what is the return policy on open box items?

Did they not let you take it out and look at it and play with it before bringing it home?

My understanding is they're the same chip except the 8640 has an NPU. If you aren't planning on doing AI I'd consider them equal.

It should be returnable until January 15, 2026 or at least that's what BB online support staff told me a few days ago for purchases during holiday season. Apparently their regular holiday extended return policy applies to open box items too but I suggest to verify an extra time just in case. I actually took a screenshot of the convo I had with support as proof in case I need to return something later and they refused.
