Great gaming laptop. Knowing msi, it would probably run hot and loud as hell with stock settings (like a helicopter, no joke). If you go to the power settings and dial the max cpu capability to 95% it would be so much quieter and becomes like a normal gaming laptop.

Edit: I got some questions on how to change this setting. I can't find those comments so I'll just add some info here.

What I do is go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings > Click on the "Change advanced power settings", and then in that popup window, scroll down to find "Processor power management" > "maximum processor state" > then change those to anywhere between 95% and 90%.

Purchasing from costco is considered by many veteran slickdealers to be a good experience in terms of their ease of returns and warranty esp when coupled by purchase with Costco's CC which extends the warranty by years, I believe.

Costco return policy is (officially) 90 days on electronics (unofficially) longer. Fifteen days for Microcenter! Costco doubles the manufacturers warranty making it 2 years. Costco concierge service, included, will help you work through any issues via phone. Using Costco Citi visa card earns you 2% cash back at Costco and executive members get an additional 2% cash back.

I think it's a great deal. Same as this from Microcenter. Except you get the Costco benefits.

Any idea if we can overclock or flash the bios to support 115W? Considering this but then again I have a 115W 2060 with a i5 10300H now and not sure if this is worth the "upgrade"
