This open box Dell 14.5 inch OLED laptop stands out as a strong value for a premium thin and light machine with a Core Ultra 7, 32 gigabytes of memory, 1 terabyte of storage, Thunderbolt ports, and long battery life. The 3.2K touchscreen and higher refresh rate add to the appeal, and the memory alone is seen as a major part of the value. The main drawbacks are the lack of a discrete GPU and Dell's borderless touchpad and touch sensitive Fn keys, which can hurt typing and everyday use. The open box grading may also hide display demo wear, so condition and battery health deserve a close look.
College students needing a well-built everyday laptop, because the chassis feels sturdy and the battery life is probably pretty good.
Students or office workers who want a portable machine with long battery life, because it has a larger screen, Thunderbolt ports, and advertised battery life that stands out.
They appear to be store display units being cleared out, with some regular returns mixed in. That means many may have been running on display for about a year, so condition can be closer to a demo unit than a typical return.
No. This model has touch-control Fn keys instead of physical keys, and it also uses a borderless touchpad; that design can lead to more typing mistakes than a conventional keyboard.
Yes, the price is viewed as strong for a 32GB/1TB configuration, with the RAM alone estimated near $400. Some open-box units have also been seen lower, including $873 plus tax and $840 for good condition.
Dell open-box coverage is generally treated as less problematic than some Asus open-box purchases, where warranty handling can become a back-and-forth between Best Buy and the manufacturer. Buying extra protection can help if you want simpler coverage.
No discrete GPU is included, so it is better suited to everyday work, school, and battery-focused use than graphics-heavy gaming or GPU-accelerated workloads. The upside is that battery life is likely pretty good.
I went to my local Best Buy a few days ago and then again today, and I noticed a lot of the laptops were removed from the display section. Also, when I check store pickup, every location shows exactly one laptop available, which makes me think it's probably the display unit being sold off.

That seems really solid as well, though I see it as unavailable now. Dell has higher refresh rate, thunderbolt ports, longer advertised battery life, and slightly larger screen, but if you need discrete graphics, then it's a no brainer.
