I have the 395 64gb version of this. I am not sure what the difference is between the 395 and 390 but I am very happy with the portability and performance of my device. I ended up getting rid of my full tower setup in the living room to use this with an egpu (5060ti 16gb) and am extremely impressed with the results in both my video editing software and gaming (thanks to DLSS). The only downfall for this device for me personally is the fact that it doesnt have oculink or tb5 which severely limits how good of an EGPU you can run. If this had TB5 I would scrap my office full tower and take this between two EGPU setups. Great device.

This is not nearly as good a deal as a 395+ (it has been on sale for the 64GB on and off at best buy for a while, might be drying up now). The 8050S graphics vs the 395+ 8060s delta is about 10-15% in raw gaming and can be much higher (around 30%+). Source: I have the 395+ and use it for development with LLMs and gaming on the go.
I recently got the 32gb 395+ version open box at Best Buy. It came pretty much brand new. I almost feel like someone just opened the box looked inside and said nope or just wanted to return it to make it open box.
At first while I was putting in my billing info someone else bought the first one.
Next day another 1725$ one showed up and I snagged that one.

For a refurb with 32 GB of RAM, the price is OK but not great. If you're patient, Best Buy open boxes hit this price for the 64 GB model.
