I bought this model in the summer of 2020. It's been great for the price. The screen looks great to my eye in terms of color and antiglare. I don't miss 4K at all. The graphics chip performs well for my needs but I'm a casual gamer (more Rocket League, less Cyberpunk).

My main concerns are:
- Battery life isnt great. I have to plug in my device after an hour or so, though to be fair, I tend to only charge up to ~60%. The AC adapter is a giant chonker. If you use this mainly as a desktop/stationary PC though, you'll be fine. If you buy a second AC adapter, pay attention to the plug size. I accidentally bought the same model of adapter, with the wrong plug. My bad.
- Fans are noticeable when they're cranked. Luckily it's more of a soft wooshy sound, and the fans rarely kick into high gear unless I'm playing a very graphically demanding game. Rocket League is A-OK. Wreckfest keeps the fans busy.
- Dragon Center software is clunky, and resets some of my settings (like USB port LED settings) each time a new update of Dragon Center is installed.
- No Thunderbolt, so I have to plug in ~4 cables to dock it instead of one. But I can accept that given the cost savings.
- Had to replace the extra HDD with a larger SSD, but again, I was comfortable doing that myself given the cost savings.
- MSI's CEO fell to his death shortly after I bought it.

That said, it's a great value and I'd buy it again today given the current market. It's replaced my desktop PC for home recording studio use, programming, and gaming.

Hey, what you smokin? LMAO

If 1080p looks bad on a 17" display, I guess the 24" I'm looking at must really suck...

Or maybe I'm just blind... It is a good panel for a 17.3" 1080P display anyhow.

This same laptop was $1,100 a month ago. Subsequently, Costco had the version with RTX 2070 for $1200 that completely sold out at that price. So MSI and COSTCO figures that $1149 for the laptop in this thread will also sell out.

Reviews on COSTCO are fabulous with a product 4.7 to 4.8 star rating out of 5.

Had this laptop, the speakers gave up after 3 weeks, I returned to Costco. MSI quality checks aren't as good.

I recall every front page 2060 laptop late last year having people pop in and say how "3060 is going to be this price in a couple months." I didn't really believe them, but I wish I had just bit the bullet back then because now I can't even get that 2060 laptop (not this one, I'm aware) for the ~$700 they were going for =(

Remember that stimmy check you received? Ya so does everyone else. It's called inflation. Get ready, it's only getting worse.

I have this laptop, can confirm the fans are loud without a headset at full blast. With that said I play Outriders without using 'performance' mode. I don't hear the fans with that change.

I had this laptop and it was great. The downsides for me were the fan noise, and the difficulty of getting into the internals of the laptop. The upsides were the screen was great, and it has the higher watt version of the 2060 which is technically better than some of the other options out there.

You do need to undervolt it to keep temperatures reasonable, and the fans reasonably quiet. Getting into the advanced bios is a little tricky -- it requires pressing a few keys at the same time in the bios, then you can enable Intel XTU. I did a -120mv on CPU and a -50mv on iGPU and temperatures were in the 70s and 80s.

However, the fans still got fairly loud while actual gaming.

Replacing the hard drive is annoying in this as there's a bunch of small clips of which break, but the good thing is that it mostly stays together even if you break some of those clips.

I got this one when it went on sale last month, added another 16gb and m2 and it's perfect for what I do (programming and design). Been rocking a GT72VR for like 6 years, and the GE75 blows it away (which obviously it should).

Screen is great, absolutely no complaints there.

Battery life is pretty bad, so if you're going to be using this thing frequently without it plugged in I'd look elsewhere or make sure you utilize the battery saver mode. For the price it's a great deal.

It's a shame MSI laptops don't have G-Sync built into the displays. Many gaming laptops don't, actually. I'd buy this in a heartbeat if it did!

Laptops tend to last one to three years. If you have the space a desktop is better if you don't need to take your PC with you
1-3...? Yeah if you don't take care of it. I still have my Vostro 1500 from 2007.

I've had several the past few months. Lenovo Legions are awesome build quality. Just get one w a good screen. Legion 5 Pro is about to be released. That's what I'm waiting on.

Still got a IBM A21P from... 1999? It really only got used for 7 years though. I think those retailed for ~$6k new... I bought it in 2002 for $550. Very nice display for the time, 1600x1200 pixels.

I bought this last summer at full price hoping for a discount. I plug in a monitor for my main screen and just use the laptop screen for Discord. It's always plugged in, sort of a portable desktop replacement.

Temps are great, gaming is great. I can play most things at the best settings. Never had any issues with crashes or lag. It was super easy to add another NVME drive and replace the HDD with another SSD.

Really happy with it. At $250 off it's a steal.

How is the listed laptop with GPU GTX-2060 (model - GE75) compared to the one listed for $1299 with GPU - GTX3060 (GF75). Isn't that good laptop/deal? https://www.costco.com/msi-gf75-t...36982.html

That's a "thin and light" lower spec model. The 3060 is only 75W and it's slower than the 2060 in the GE75. The panel has poorer specs for response, color, and brightness. Only red keyboard backlighting. Less drive options.

Here is a review of the 15.6" version: https://www.notebookcheck.net/MSI...258.0.html

They had that type of resolution in the 90s???
