Aren't the specifications the same as the one sold by Amazon for the same price? What am I missing? If its the same specs, it doesn't make sense that Costco couldn't offer a lower price than even Amazon.

The only difference that I can see is the keyboard if the picture is accurate.

Can anybody tell which 3060 power-wise we are getting with this
60W [notebookcheck.net]

GE76 is 115W for 3060 or 3070 [costco.com]. Quite a range.

It boosts to at least 75W. Here is a review of the GF65 beating the Tuf 3070 by 8%, and the Strix 3070 is only 7% faster in games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIy7H1USs5Y

Another review: https://www.notebookcheck.net/MSI...258.0.html

And there is a review of the GP66 3070 boosting all the way to 165W!

What's the difference between "TGP" and "TDP"? And, isn't the minimum on the RTX3060 60 watts and not 45 watts?
TGP is the GPU, TDP is the CPU.

Thanks

When I inquired about the $1,300 MSI "GF75 Thin Gaming Laptop" RTX 3060 GPU the MSI chat rep said that "It has a 75W TGP and a 45W TDP".

So, in your table below, the 75 watts would would fall between 94% (3060 60 watts) and 115% (3060 115 watts) of the 2060 115watts (100%) performance . Using proportionality that would place its performance on par with the 2060 @ 115W

3060@60W= 94%
3060@75 W = 100% (inserted by RussianBytes for MSI "GF75 Thin Gaming Laptop" RTX 3060 GPU for $1300 at COSTCO)
2060@115W= 100%
3060@90 W = 105% (75 Base Watts+15 watts boost, (inserted by RussianBytes MSI "GF75 Thin Gaming Laptop" RTX 3060 GPU, $1300 COSTCO)
2070@115W= 110% (inserted by RussianBytes for MSI "GE75 Gaming Laptop" RTX 2070 for $1,200 at COSTCO)
3060@115W= 115%
2070S@115W= 120%

Just received the laptop... Happy with the hashrate, its a nice upgrade from the 2060 in the Omen. Still setting it up for daily use. I still don't think it's worth it for just mining. The ROI is like 10 months. Although given what the current price is for a full size GPU, this isnt THAT bad.
https://imgur.com/inR8LsN

Edit: this laptop also stays much cooler. I am noticing I can let the fans stay on auto and they spin down a bit to maintain 70°C or kick them up to high and it will be steady around 65~70°C
Please tell us a bit more about the fan. If you are a non-gamer and running a video conference, will the fans stay quiet, maybe even be silent?

I bought the GE76 from Costco and it was no problem running the fans quiet at 50°C (without tweaking) but the computer was constantly locking and beeping 5x (motherboard or processor problem). I dropped the cpu to 50% and the computer stabilized but is just too darn slow. Obviously a lemon. But I can't replace it because Costco discontinued it after a few weeks. This MSI GF75 could be a good replacement if the fans can run silent for business use including video conferences. What do you think?

Why are you OK when the performance of this laptop (3060 at 75 watts) is identical to a 2060 at 115 watts?

Quote from jclark :
This article [laptopmag.com] is a couple years old, but the basic product categories are still the same. In general, in terms of price, materials quality, and features

GT > GS > GE > GP > GL

But... GS tend to be overpriced and run hotter and slower than similar-spec GE models because they're crammed into much thinner chassis.
Do you know where the MSI GF "thin" line falls in its above hierarchy?

For anyone wondering if Intel laptops are inferior to AMD in 2021... the short answer is Intel is still superior in games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5...XmE&t=611s

And that is before an undervolt. Once you do that, Intel might be faster in high CPU productivity tasks as well, and even better in games.

And yes, you can undervolt MSI Intel laptops. Need to enable it in the bios.

2060@115W= 100%
3060@90 W = 105% (75 Base Watts+15 watts boost, (inserted by RussianBytes MSI "GF75 Thin Gaming Laptop" RTX 3060 GPU, $1300 COSTCO)
2070@115W= 110% (inserted by RussianBytes for MSI "GE75 Gaming Laptop" RTX 2070 for $1,200 at COSTCO)

Trying to replicate I can get to change plan settings but not "change advance". There is a change advance settings but if this it it, what did you change EXACTLY?
