Had one and returned.
Unless you connect to an external monitor i would say stay away.
The screen is garbage if you seen a nice laptop screen before .
MSI ruined this model due to the screen choice.
Other than that a very fast machine.

Would you say my current 2021 legion 5 15.6 screen is better than this ?
On one of the laptop I was getting DNS error and dropped wifi. While none of my other device had problems, tried trouble shooting for a week with Lenovo and told me it was hardware issue. I returned it and got another one. My current one is much better but will randomly loose internet connection, windows latest driver made it worst, so I had to roll it back.

I dont know what kind of screen you got but this MSI comes with a low SRGB low nits 144hz pure garbage.
100% SRGB, 300 nit is garbage?
And if you are such a hardcore gamer that you need >144Hz, wouldn't you be using an external monitor anyway?
For those dissing the price for a 3060, note that:
- The Raider gets full power GPUs, and a rep for pushing performance to the limit.
- This is a 17" display and a $100+ premium for that (vs 15.6") is typical.
- Costco is the best retailer to buy from; has by far the best warranty and return policies for laptops.
EDIT: You might be right about the screen! In the past they only put premium displays in the Raiders and I thought they'd carried this one over from last year, but it appears not: https://us.msi.com/Laptop/GE76-Ra...cification
"17.3" Thin Bezel FHD, IPS-Level 144Hz, 45% NTSC" This isn't a good display (at least on color gamut) if those specs are right! Since they aren't listed, brightness and response are probably poor as well.

It is a very chunky laptop for anyone wondering, from what I can find it's 6.39lb
