Still going to wait for the Costco one with 2070 for $60 more.

This will be $1200 https://www.costco.com/.product.1478573.html

Same. Get 4-year warranty with Costco also.

Is this good for business user/power user for Excel/Office, Visio and such? COSTCO has MSI GF75 with bit lower hardware for $700 (I5 processor and 8GB ).

Trying to decide between the COSTCO $700 MSI GF75 vs Dell 17 3000 (dell is about $650 but with integrated video card .. and DVD drive which i don't like - why add to weight if you will never use it)

IMHO, this MSI would be overkill for MS office applications. The Dell would be fine, but you could probably still find a 15.6" in the $400-$500 range or even lower and pair it with a nice monitor to handle those tasks and still be under $650. Minimum for Visio is i3-1005G1 with 6GB Memory and integrated GPU.

Laptops in general aren't for coding as the more code you can see on screen the more efficient you can be, so you want the biggest screen you can get, with vertical capability.

Yep, and it sucks that laptops are 1080p now as the default ... even for many "gaming" laptops. I bought an Alienware specifically because it came with a QHD screen. If you code, a 1080p screen is weak sauce.

Got mine yesterday and love it.

Runs really hot when it downloads and installs it's updates (into the 90's C) but then cools down after a few power cycles and the thermals melt in.

Solid construction and an awesome screen.

Can't believe this post hasn't gotten more traction.

I don't have a costco membership and the closest one is 40 minutes away or I would have tried for the 1TB + 512G ssd with the RTX 2070.
