Deal Details
https://www.costco.com/msi-gl75-l...79343.html

Similar to the Costco MSI Raider posted here for $1100: https://slickdeals.net/f/14816041-costco-members-msi-ge75-raider-gaming-laptop-10th-gen-intel-core-i7-10750h-geforce-rtx-2060-1080p-1108-99?v=1&src=SiteSearch

Looks like the same case and display. Major differences besides the price:

1660Ti vs 2060. No ray tracing and ~5-10% slower fps. EDIT: The Raider has a 2060 @115W, so should be ~20% faster than a 80W 1660 Ti.

256GB vs 512GB.

Does not accept 2 NVME drives (1 NVME, 1 2.5... vs 2 NVME, 1 2.5 for the Raider)

Keyboard backlight only in red, not RGB.

For $150 cheaper it seems like a good deal.

Some GL75 reviews here. Note the specs are not identical.

Nice find! You should change "Display only in red, not RGB" to "backlight keyboard only in red, not RGB"

Yes the red only backlit keyboard may be the major con of some of the GL series MSI models.
I was considering the 17" rtx 2070 model in December for $1100 but passed since it wasn't sold by Costco.
This is an ok deal for 17"....Though, I dont mind 15.6, so always look for more value there.

And when considering spending $1000, some may prefer to wait for faster cpu/ Rtx 30 deals in the next months and just spend a couple hundred more than their intended budget. (for the latest future proofing but most likely at 15.6" not 17")

Bumping this because it's the last day. Solid deal if you want a 17.3" gaming laptop.

I bought the Raider for $150 more though, once I found out it has a 115W 2060, and should be around 20% faster than this 80W 1660 Ti. The cooling is the same in both though, so at 115W you have to deal with louder fans and higher temps.
