Keep in mind that scummy HP charges restocking fee and shipping is in the air, they're most known for pushing back units. With that being said, price is incredible
This unit has some metal construction and superb thermals, maximum performance

Pricey laptop though, but sleek and looks nice. There's a deal for one at Costco right now.

I just want that nice screen for video content. It may become my computer/TV in the near future. How would the Dell UHD+ screen pair with the lowest i5 CPU? Would that be crazy to order? It's $1619 minus any coupons or cashback. Expensive I know, but if you're using it many hours a day as computer monitor and TV, then may be worth it.
HP has 17 inch on sale now too with nice 4K screen at $1309. Another tempting option.

I'm on this laptop right now. But full disclosure, I'll be returning it for a few reasons:
-Bought it at a higher price, and Costco won't price match their new price, even though I'm in the return period.
-Going to sacrifice touch screen, 4K resolution, and fingerprint scanner, and try out the Omen with non-touch and 2K; saves $800-900, and gets a better graphics card. Omen is bulkier, but not like any 17" laptop is particularly portable.
-Very large touchpad is prone to accidental touches, and incorrect clicks (right vs left). Might be a problem on Omen too, or most laptops with giant touchpads these days).
-No USB-A port or HDMI built in. Not that big of a deal, as it comes with a C- to A-/HDMI adapter, and I'm thinking this will be standard in the future, but it's too soon, and still too many USB-A peripherals lying around.
-XPS has sharp edges. Enough so that it's annoying on my wrists and forearms when using the laptop. It also has the compressed up/down arrow keys, which I find annoying enough to mention here. Both of these are less of a concern if you're using this for the monitor and using an external keyboard.
If your primary concern is the nice screen, you honestly can't beat the XPS though. You might be able to get by with the i5, but it'll be less equipped for video editing, if you plan to do that. If just for viewing, you'll probably be fine.
The 4K HP Envy is also a good choice, and would save you a fair bit of cash. You'd just be sacrificing the touchscreen.

Since this Omen deal is deal, what will you get to replace the XPS 17 from Costco?

Costco has a 30 day price match policy, so they told me I could only return and rebuy if I wanted the new price. Such a waste, and their loss.
I put in an order for the Omen 17 a couple days ago, so got it in before the deal died.
HP has 12% cash back at TopCB, though not sure if it'll track if you use coupons. You should still be able to use the Holiday10 code for 10% off at HP.

Cheers! Im a month down with the MSI and the omen is currently being assembled.
