I picked up a C8 from a Best Buy in 2020 for $898. Floor model, listed online for $1098. Went to pick it up and saw a sticker showing $898. They said it was an accident but still matched the price.

Brought it home, it had over 14,000 hours in the previous 2 years being used as a floor model, so it was on just about 24/7 for 2 years. It had the "Best Buy" logo burned in covering a good portion of the screen.

I called up LG and reported burn-in, and knowing they offer 1 free panel replacement even outside warranty, they actually sent out a technician to swap it out. It's sitting at almost 19K hours now and perfect :)

Definitely. Supports up to 3 monitors (including the built in screen) while docked, has a full desktop mode that runs a version of Linux called Arch, and you can still access nearly all of the Microsoft Apps suite by either installing Windows on it, running your files through the OneDrive web interface, or installing a 3rd party solution like LibreOffice directly onto the Deck.

It's honestly a really cool little machine.

Or, on the other hand, buy the phone that has features, from very to moderately useful and allows them to turn on or off based upon preferences. I love how Apple haters seek to gain a sense of wellbeing from coming on an apple thread to comment on something they do not like and do not own. Unsolicited advice: Save your energies and apply them to the things you love, and thrive.
