The Intel Ultra 7 256v in this laptop is VASTLY better than the steamdeck chip. 2X the single core and 2X the multi-core performance. iGPU is around 25% faster (but keep in mind old iGPU benchmarks are outdated, Intel's GPU drivers see more improvements overtime as they used to be less polished). Intel also fully supports their iGPUs with the latest upscaling and frame generation, while ALL AMD handhelds (Steam Deck, Ally, etc) are RDNA 2 and thus AMD wont give them FSR 4, so Intel wins there too.
This screen is also far more crisp with high resolution and high refresh rate. The Steam Deck OLED is a measly 800p and 90hz.
The only thing that isnt 'better' is the form factor. But you lose handheld gaming and get a small laptop that is better for productivity and daily use (nobody uses a steam deck to web browse and type)
For power consumption, the chip in this sips power, you wont need a power bank as it will outlast any 'reasonably long' gaming session on the go. However the main power drain is the screen. If you play outside in bright sunlight and crank the screen brightness to max, then yeah it wont last long but nothing will.

I had no intentions of getting another laptop, but this is a very good deal and its rare to find Lunar Lake (this chip) with a nice OLED screen at this price point, usually its only the bad ARM based laptops.

Personal experience/opinion:
Only risk Excellent condition open-box items for shipping. If good or fair, do store pickup so you can have them show you it in store and verify the condition before they sell it to you, then you can just cancel the order if it's bad condition. I've had VERY mixed luck with BB open-box items but still generally go with them if it's an option as it's good money saved and still includes warranties (usually).

I bought an open box "excellent" condition Moto Razr 2024+ on best buy back in Feb. Lasted exactly 66 days before the inner screen failed and I got that horrible black line at the crease. Neither Best Buy, or Motorola would take it back or exchange. Moto told me I was "8 days" past the phones manufactur warranty. Best Buy basically said SOL, you had 14 days to return. This has left a very very bad taste in my mouth. Especially since when I purchased what was described as a "new open box excellent condition" phone and thought it came with minimum 1yr warranty. Boy was I wrong.

This open box Galaxy Book5 Pro stands out as a thin 14 inch OLED Windows laptop with a sharp 3K 120 hertz touchscreen, strong Intel Ultra 7 performance, and very good battery life for everyday use and light gaming. The screen and overall build get the most praise, and several pickup units arrived looking nearly new, sometimes with only residue, stickers, or a missing power adapter. The main cautions are the soldered 16 gigabytes of RAM, which feels limiting for heavier multitasking, and repeated concern about fragile AMOLED screen cracking. Open box warranty handling also needs attention, especially on Best Buy units.

  • The high-resolution AMOLED touch display can look crisp and premium for daily productivity and browsing.

  • Some open-box units can arrive in near-new condition with original accessories included.

  • The Intel Ultra 7 256V configuration can deliver strong iGPU features like upscaling and frame generation.

  • Battery reports can show unusually low cycle counts and high battery health on certain open-box purchases.

    CoralGalley8511

  • Galaxy Book AMOLED models can have screen cracking reports, and extended warranty may be needed to manage that risk.

    RogueVariableSDJP2020xtrext

  • The 16GB RAM configuration can feel limiting for multitasking, and the soldered RAM prevents upgrades.

    novasianGuuhassisfsdejan

  • Open-box shipping can be risky because Best Buy may require in-person pickup to inspect good or fair units.

    SpiritMistEragorn

  • Warranty coverage for open-box purchases can be inconsistent, with manufacturers sometimes starting warranty at first setup.

Can anyone tell me if this is the integrated Arc Graphics 140v? And is the RAM soldered or is it upgradeable beyond 16GB?

Good deal. Picked up 'excellent' condition one today with Surface Laptop 4 trade-in for under $400 after tax. The screen is gorgeous and everything runs quite smooth. Tried out a few non-AAA games and they ran excellent. Battery life impressive coming from SL4.

I went and picked up mine today. It was sold as good condition. It came with the original box, original cable and charger, and the laptop is brand new.No issues at all. No scratches no dents no damages. The screen is brand new. I will test it and see how it goes. Great deal thanks OP.

Intel disabling Hyper Threading on their new CPUs like this one is the dumbest thing ever. Can you imagine how much more powerful these 8 would be if they had hyper threading and ran 16 threads instead of 8

I think that they are doing this so sometime in the near future they can basically release the same chips, simply enable hyper threading and have something "new" faster and shiny to sell

What? Dude. They told you various times. "open box"
They even gave you 14 days to return it.

Learn this lesson, those folding screen phones? They are still new and anyone that buys them are guinea pigs for the companies testing them.

Anyway, nobody would be able to make any money at all if they sold something used to you and were expected to replace it or refund you when you break it. SMH.

I ran a battery report, and it shows only one cycle count.Despite the fact it is listed as good condition.Not even excellent. The battery life is 97%. As such, this deal is insane so happy with that purchase. I guess I got lucky.

I do it so I don't set off something in their system doing too many alerts. Some items like phones and cameras, even if open box have a restocking fee now as well I believe.

I suggest only buying laptop with a decent dedicated graphics card. IGPU's are too limited.

if a laptop has 256v and doesn't say anything about a dedicate GPU (like Nvidia) then it's most certainly integrated 140v. RAM is soldered to the board not upgradable.
