https://www.costco.com/msi-ge75-r...68605.html - $1149.99

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.com/forum...75.279412/

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!

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.

I agree that it is not realistic right now due to the chip shortage and low demand.

But really... right now, laptops are way overpriced unless you get old tec with intel CPU.

As someone mentioned, you can get 9 month old tec through ebay for $750 for the levnovo legion but it has the bad screen... only 250 nits. But that could be the best deal right now for a laptop with a 1660Ti.

They seem to be out or repriced. $830 now.

Best deal on ebay is: Lenovo Legion 5 15.6" 144Hz Ryzen 7-4800H 16GB RAM 256GB SSD GTX 1660 Ti 6GB $879.99.

This GE75 will game ~15% faster though due to having a 115W 2060. And it has a bigger SSD+1TB HDD, bigger display with much faster response. The 4800H is a better CPU though.

That's today, folks. The laptop sale lasts until May 2.

Availability and prices on all sorts of things I need have been nuts lately. I don't expect this mess to get cleaned up for a year or more. Even if you believe the RTX 3000 deals are "coming soon" you have 90 days to change your mind with Costco.

i got this same laptop for a similar deal last year via costco. overall the only things i have had issues with are of course, the terrible battery life and one of the fans going out. since then i got it replaced and have added an external cooling plate.

performance wise, it's great for a casual gamer. to my surprise i didn't have any problems with it playing the entire storyline and side missions of cyberpunk. i usually have it running on medium to high settings with the external fan/cooling plate setup. also have played a lot of cod warzone on it with no issues at all either.

msi's dragon software can be a bit clunky for sure but afterburner software is a great replacement for it.

i also have since hooked this up to an msi 27":IPS display, 165hz with no issues. it's really a great laptop for the price.

another thing i would like to point out is that the screen on the laptop has some light bleed issues but this varies from screen to screen.
