My understanding from looking around at talk of this model is that the Costco version is a slightly downgraded version of the GP66 with a 144Hz 1080p screen instead of either 165Hz 1440p or 240Hz 1080p on other versions.
The thing that most makes me hesitate on this deal is that I can't figure out if any of the internals are different, for example the regular GP66 has a second empty M2 slot, and I'm curious if that is different here. I'm also wondering if the TDP on the GPU could possibly be different than the regular models I've seen reviews for. I can't find any details or even a place to download documentation or drivers for the Costco model on the MSI site.
*edit* I take back that last bit, I swear when I looked last week on the MSI site it made you select a full model number to download drivers and 11UG-290 was not listed, now it seems to only want the first part "11UG"
Also, how's cooling for this laptop?
