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!

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.

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.
