NOTICE: Outrider bundle only for purchases made by Apr 15. The laptop sale lasts until May 2.
Sign of the times. This was $50 cheaper back In Feb (though that was without Outrider). But with most new generation laptops MIA and deals drying up, this is still a good deal.
Unlike most 10th Gen Intel laptops, MSI allows undervolting. I bought one and did the UV and OC and will try to answer any questions you have. UV makes a big difference on the CPU (runs faster at 45W than it did at 55W stock), and you can run it maxed out at 4.3GHz on all cores indefinitely if you have some workloads that need it. I boosted GPU performance >10% as well, using Afterburner. https://www.techpowerup
As always from Costco:
90 day free returns.
2 year warranty (4 if you use their card).
Specs here (this is the 008 model): https://us.msi.com/Laptop/GE75-Ra...cification
Some things I like:
1) 17.3" 1080p display, 144Hz, >300nits, 3ms response, high contrast, 100% sRGB.
2) RTX 2060 is 115W, which means it's ~15% faster than 80W 2060s and 1660 Ti, and faster than many 2070 and 3060 laptops that are throttled to a lower wattage.
3) MSI supports UV on Intel CPUs which makes them much more competitive vs Ryzen. With the UV it's faster than a 4600H in Cinebench.
4) It has great speakers for a laptop
5) You can install two NVMe drives as well as a 2.5" drive.
6) Costco warranty and return policy!

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

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
