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.

Screen is only 250 nits for both the i5 or AMD model.
This is useful to know as 250nits won't perform well outside in sunlight so this model seems best for indoor use.

I tried to buy 2 of these, but one became unavailable while I was being forced to sing into my best buy account (which I hadn't used in years and had to do a PW reset on).
Got a 'fair' condition one about 30 miles away, it's for my mom who has destroyed 2nd hand latitudes in the past... really reconsidering if I should get an Inspiron for her at all...
But I do quite like the specs, price, and upgradeability.

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

Here's the prices I see for Open-Box condition:

Excellent
$269.99

Good
$255.99

Fair
$233.99
Memory replaceable, but "max memory 16GB? Really? I hope that's a typo, because max 16GB in the DDR5 is *woeful*.

every time i see a suspiciously low max memory, i see people saying, "i installed more and it worked fine." that leads me to believe that manufacturers just list a low max because it's the max that they personally tested (you can only order it preconfigured with 16gb), or for marketing purposes to try to sell you a more expensive system.

Wow. I jumped on a Yoga 7 8640HS with 8GB soldered RAM for $200 OTD, and thought I got a steal at that price.

This is a much better deal for those who can get it. The Latitude build and upgradability make this a far stronger deal.

Congrats to those who snagged one.

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 wouldn't. The BF deal is going to be much more useful for running AI inference. The extended care is a waste for a new laptop unless you are sloppy with taking care of it. If you skip the 3 year extended care warranty which is very profitable for HP for new computers, then, you're close in price ($49) to this older used model with 4 year geek squad.

Any recommendations on which tests to run on these open box laptops?

It's been a long time since I've purchased one.
Thanks
