Best Buy has an Open-Box ASUS ROG Flow X16 convertible for US$234 off the price for the brand-new unit. The discounted configuration comes with an 8-core Ryzen 9 6900HS, a 125 W RTX 3060, 16 GB of DDR5-4800 memory, 1 TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage, and a 16-inch, touch-capable 2560x1600 resolution IPS panel with a 165 Hz refresh rate and 500 nits of peak brightness.

The ASUS ROG Flow X16 is a 16-inch 2-in-1 device with a beautiful QHD display, a powerful Ryzen 9 6900HS processor, and an RTX 3060 GPU. The device which has a list price of US$1,999.99 and is available brand new for US$1499.99 from Best Buy, can be even cheaper if you are willing to shop open-box (via slickdeals).

The Open-Box ASUS ROG Flow X16 on sale is advertised as “looks brand new” and comes with all original parts and accessories for US$1265.99, a discount of US$234 vs the box-packed unit.

When it comes to the overall quality of the ASUS ROG Flow X16, we found the laptop to be a stellar machine as it got a “very good” rating of 90% in our review. Granted, the configuration we tested was different than the one on sale but the general positives hold. The ROG Flow X16 has a high-quality build, features a serviceable keyboard, a good trackpad, and performs very well on battery power. Although our test model came with a mini-LED display, the 500-nits QHD+ IPS panel on offer is also no slouch. ASUS claims the display covers 100% of DCI-P3/sRGB gamuts, boasts a 3 ms response time, and refreshes at 165 Hz.

Moreover, the upgradable RAM and storage ensures you can increase the memory and storage when the need arises. You can also connect eGPUs from ASUS as the ROG Flow X16 features an xGM port, allowing you to transform the notebook into a much more powerful machine.

All in all, the ASUS ROG Flow X16 is an excellent gaming convertible. At US$1,265.99 for an Open-Box unit, it is easy to recommend.
