Though it was worth a shot to save $115 on an X with an open box. Like often recommended I opened at the store to make sure it looked good and it did. However I made the mistake of not turning it on. I got home then turned it on and let it update. I left the room briefly only to hear the sound of a dying cow groaning behind me. Once I set it up even in idle "Silent" mode it was very audible. I don't know if this horrible coin whine or bad bearings or what.
I returned it and just bought a brand new one which is far quieter and no groan. Best Buy didn't give me a hard time but the employee didn't appear to take note of why I returned it. Hopefully they don't try to sell it again.

Hello,
I was browsing the website and noticed these two categories of open-box items. I imagine all returned items are checked thoroughly to ensure that it is working or that a problem it had before had been fixed properly before they can be relisted as a refurbished product. I understand the satisfactory and fair conditions if the product had been roughly, but I was curious as to why there are two excellent categories? If both have undergone inspection and have been certified to work properly, why wouldn't there just be one category? Is there a difference between the two to justify the price difference? Does the excellent without the certified attach mean there is some minor flaw somewhere?
Thank you much!
