You wont get a new one at this price - all those 256G version sold at $1900+ are factory refurbished. They are probably open box returns with power on hour about 1 week to 1 month, you can get one like new if you get good luck. The first one I got is very dirty, lots of dust and scratches. I called for a replacement, and got a better one - looks like new with plastic wrap covers it, however some spots at corners indicate it is used. CrystalDiskInfo shows 157 power-on hours (one week) and 2TB of written data to the SSD. This is hard for me to accept because the life-time writing limit for this SSD is only 100TB (Samsung PM961), 2% of the life is already consumed. The Samsung 960 Pro 256 GB on my working desktop has only 5TB of total writing in two years. Cant imagine what have been done to this laptop. I decided to keep it in the end. The condition is OK for the price, plus I got the one-year warranty from Microsoft. Just keep in mind that you are not buying a brand new item, its open-box like new.
