Price at the warehouse is $699, so you can save the $15 shipping if you go to store. Seems like a pretty strong set of features for the price.

Alder Lake's frequency sweet spot is 4GHz for the big cores, and 3GHz for the small cores. Any higher frequency will improve performance at the cost of much higher energy (20% perfomrance boost with 80% more energy). Source[/URL]]
You should limit the big core to 4GHz and the small cores to 3GHz, your PC will perform 20% slower (but a lot of task are not CPU bound, many are disk bound which won't be affected), but it will be 40% cooler. You can also make different power profiles and switch between them if you need to.

Due to reported hinge issues on msi modern/prestige line I would probably pick the Asus... I did get the prestige from Newegg (1240p with 16gb ram) for $550 though... I am still debating if I should just loosen the hinge a bit and keep it or return it all together... On the other hand there are reports of the Asus being a stove when it comes to heat... So nothing is ideal I guess... If this was $700 before I had jumped on the MSI prestige I would have gone for it...
is there a way to ask them to adjust the price?
The overheating issues can be alleviated by limiting the boost clock of the CPU.
Either of these deals seem excellent.

Yes, I believe there is a 30 day price matching policy if you asked. The return period is 90 days so if they refuse you have to return.
I was at costco, saw this and was finally like, ok...my dad got one too. I have been eyeing this for a few months now and $700 seemed like a great price.
Not impressed with the SSD, though. Mine is a Micron QLC SSD. Might swap it out for a better one and more ram. Not sure I need a 980 Pro, but 7 GB/sec reads is hard to beat!
EDIT: The display is stunning! It's almost to bright at max brightness. 2 year warranty is also pretty dope.
