This more or less seems to be the 17" version of the other deal I posted with a 1TB HDD thrown in.
  • MSI GL75 Leopard 10SFK-029
  • $1449 (with code FNTSTECH64)
  • GeForce RTX 2070 mobile (NOT max-q)
  • Intel i7-10750H (6 Cores, 12 Threads @2.60 GHz -5.0GHz)
  • 16GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM (8GB x2, max total 64GB)
  • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD
  • 1 TB HDD
  • 17.3" FHD IPS 144Hz 3MS Screen (72%NTSC close to 100%Srgb)
  • Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201(2*2 ax)
  • USB 3.1 Gen2 Type C x1
  • USB 3.2 Gen1 x3
  • HDMI x1
  • 51Wh Li-Ion Battery
  • Per-key RGB keyboard
  • Windows 10 Home
  • 720p HD Webcam

Great value for the money

You can also get the 15" version of this laptop for $50 less without the 1TB HDD here: https://slickdeals.net/f/14199377-msi-gl65-leopard-back-in-stock-15-6-fhd-144hz-3ms-i7-10750h-rtx2070-full-power-16gb-ram-512gb-nvme-ssd-1399?attrsrc=Test%3ASearchApiIntegration%3ASearchApi&src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1

It looks like only $50, so not a great deal from the normal price, but the specs look good.

My warning is really that I purchased a simiarly spec'd MSI before and had it experiencing power issues within a month. The repairs took a month, and lasted only a few weeks past the warranty.

I've read good reviews with the MSI (check out the other GL65 thread) but purely personal, I'd go with Costco because the 4 year warranty you get with it.

**4 year warranty is 2 year manufacturer warranty + 2 year extension if purchased with the Citi Costco card**

4 years if you use their anywhere Citibank visa for the purchase.

Otherwise it's 2 years after manufacturers warranty:

What is the screen spec for the HP Omen 17 at Costco? Is it 144hz 3ms like the MSI?

According to this site it is but after reading the article overall performance when compared to other laptops makes me want to choose something else. Like MSI RAIDER

Hmm. in my family we have both the 17" MSI Raider 2060 and the 17" HP Omen 2070 (we had not upgraded gaming machines in 5 years, so it was time). Like you, I would trust PC World more than others, but the PC world review seems to differ significantly than all other reviews. I think there was something wrong with the PC World review machine. Check out these reviews on the HP Omen:
Based on those reviews, the takeaway is that the HP Omen is a decent machine for the price, with poor battery life. Maybe a crappy battery is how HP got the prices lower for a 2070 graphics card machine?

The Costco MSI Raider was a killer deal at $1200, so I had to pull the trigger. The HP Omen at $1500 was a "fair/normal" deal - however, Newegg's warranty/return policy is pretty much 14 days and then you are done. Sure with the code, Newegg is $1449, but to get the same warranty as costco, you have to plunk another $200 for Squaretrade to get the same two-year coverage at Costco.

Mini review: Playing SW KOTOR (which is a relatively old game) on both machines I noticed

The capabilities of the two machines are the same despite the 2060 vs 2070 video card. Playing the same game, I do notice that the MSI fans are loud compared to the HP. Sometimes the MSI reminds me of a hair dryer. Many of the reviews complain about the lack of keyboard light configuration - Personally I think the MSI blinky keyboard is hilariously excessive with the keys pulsing in rainbow explosions - the HP zone system is fine and a bit more conservative.

The HP omen is wider, they have these extra function keys on the left side that you can program.

This is the lowest priced (by maybe a couple hundred) for an RTX 2070 laptop...
atleast lowerst I've seen from very brief searching of gaming laptops.

seems good assuming the build quality is ok....
