I still have this to this day. Still the best bang for the buck especially when you upgrade the battery.

Better to get the z1 extreme on marketplace for less. Asus rog ally X would be the better choice as it's the upgraded version. Can be had for around 500-600 used. 1tb, 24gb ram and z1 extreme processor. Second best behind the leigon go s 2.

I bought this refurbished about a year ago for the same price but now the battery is awful. What battery upgrade did you use?

This is a Z1 Extreme, if (Big IF) you find one in stock at BB it's a deal for today's market.

You can save a little more on marketplace, I just sold mine for $350 after about a month of trying to get $400 in my area. I'd pay the slight upcharge to get some kind of guarantee via the big box store vs marketplace.

I'm convinced 99% of these best buy open box deals are just nothing-burgers that are posted to drum up traffic to the website though. I've never once found a popular deal available, and I have over 5 local Best Buys.

I just bought a 74wh battery on Ali. Model # C41N2208. Then Google rog ally battery upgrade for a youtube video tutorial. It's super easy to do it yourself. You'll love the double battery life

I thought I was just always late to the party. I've experienced the same, even with refurbs.

Solid device but note that there are some drawbacks. Storage is not enough and this takes 2230 form factor ssds which are more expensive. While you can put in a 2230 to 2280 adapter it will interfere with the battery upgrade as the factory battery is also a drawback of this device.

Taking these 2 upgrades into account you could just purchase a z1 extreme device which better battery, more storage and potentially more memory for around the same total cost.

SD doesn't make any money off simply sending people to a website, people need to make a purchase for them to get an affiliate payment. Search engines don't point people here when they look up a specific item, so I don't really see that being a driving factor either.

It sounds like poor luck of the draw. I don't post anything I can't obtain myself locally, and I live in a busy section of New England.

I had the same issue and installed the JSAUX battery for the Ally and it has been pretty good. The name scared me at first, seemed like every other Amazon brand, but the quality was surprisingly good. I think Linus Tech Tips even did a video on it.
