Fragile but self-healing screen???

Two weeks after I bought this laptop (which is awesome) I dropped it on the upper left corner of the screen. Minimal physical damage to the case. When I opened the lid I saw a black dot about the size of a pencil eraser on the screen in that corner with black lines running toward the right side of the screen.
Boy did I wish I added protection to the unit!!!
The lines went away until I left it in my cold van (Midwest winters). They spread across again. Get it warm and with every open and close of the lid (after it sleeps for a bit) the lines slowly disappeared.
Over the next few weeks even the black dot disappeared from the screen as of this morning!!! Self-healing??? I don't get it!!! I wish I'd taken a picture from the start, but the picture shows what happened over the last week.
Besides the fragile, but self-healing nature of the screen, it's an incredible laptop with a battery life that amazes me! With moderate use you can expect about 8 to 10 hours, sometimes more if you are just typing and keep the screen on minimum brightness. I frequently use it off and on the entire day without charging it! Charging cord clips in place when you push it in. My previous laptop was an HP and I had to make modifications to keep it in. I don't think this one will be a problem.
The screen at its lowest setting can be very bright in a fairly dark room. Look up NegativeScreen on Google for some help on the eyes.
I replaced the hard drive with a 1tB Black immediately. Using a larger suction cup I took the back off in one pull without damaging any of the clips. Videos on YouTube. Buy an external case for the 512gB you pull out of the system (NVME 2260 PCI-E M Key).
SD card reader is Micro, which sucks. So buy an external one if you need it.
Wireless is WiFi 6 so a modern router is recommended to take full advantage. It also has a 5Ghz antennae. I wasn't sure of this until I replaced my broken (and far-too-young) Netgear router with an ASUS.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worked okay for a while, but as soon as the 1-year warranty expired the 5ghz started acting up. The SSID began randomly inserting strange characters. I was going to factory reset and set it back up again to fix it but my attention was drawn away. A year later I remembered it and did this, but the 5ghz was GONE. No channel was listed under the info for the antenna. Reading up I discovered on pages upon pages on websites including Netgear's own, the hardware for the 5ghz was highly susceptible to heat and failure.
So you can only rely on the 2.4ghz antenna on this model. And once the 5ghz antenna goes out, rebooting will take a long time. I also began having problems with the unit randomly going out.
If you do access control (allowing ONLY certain MAC addresses to access your network), the Netgear interface CANNOT handle this properly. You might be able to add a device but you'll NEVER be able to edit or delete it. This has NEVER been fixed in four years (two routers) of their web settings interface. (I will not use limited smart phone apps.)
Plus, automatic update for firmware doesn't always work. The most recent update was (apparently) 1/18 and it wasn't pushed to my router. Unsurprisingly it broke more than it fixed, removing plenty of features (like antenna transmit power) to the point where I'm done with Netgear products.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this bed and very happy I could get it at Best Buy! When most other furniture dealers were claiming they can't get products due to the virus, Best Buy delivered! Much sturdier and can hold more weight than anything else in its price range that I found.

Wasn't prepared for the "new fridge smell", but this was purchased to replace the small-capacity refrigerator that came with my new home. Salesperson was incredibly helpful in getting the plate to cover up the hole created when the ice maker was removed. The only flaw is that Best Buy does not offer the model that does NOT include the ice maker.

I just bought this laptop and it's amazing, but how can I use Alexa? I can't find an app or something like that, only appears Cortana

Is it worth select i7 version for $150 extra over i5 ? Which one will have better battery and thermal management?
There're no moving parts but it does get quite warm if you obstruct the vents on the bottom. Using only the battery the i7 model is ridiculously fast for a laptop and very battery efficient. The i5 version would probably have better battery and thermal management since it's effectively slower. But the i7 easily goes 8 to 10 hours on a charge! (More if you manage it right.)
As far as which to buy? It depends on your needs. If you buy the i5 you could always add a faster (and bigger) SSD to take away some latency.
But I for one am glad I bought the i7 instead of the i5.

Hi What is the difference between a network card and a gift card and digital card ?
Network card / gift card is physical. A digital card, if Best Buy carried one at the moment, might be a code they can email to you. No matter what the code is used online (digitally) and is then, for all intents and purposes, useless after it's redeemed.

The code is digital or phisic?
I bought it in store and it's therefore physical. All four options for ordering online talk about shipping so it should be a physical card mailed to you (or pick up in store). This particular SKU/item (Sony - PlayStation Network $20 Gift Card - SKU # 8945804) is physical.
