RTX 4070 is not a worthwhile upgrade at all over a full power RTX 3070 or 3070 Ti, if you don't consider DLSS 3 frame generation. One of the main reason behind that Nvidia has placed an artificial voltage limit to all their mid-range and lower end cards, RTX 4050, RTX 4060 and RTX 4070, which prevent them for consuming anything more than 100W at max, despite their so-called 140W power limit. You can check the video published by Jarrod's tech comparing 3070 Ti and 4070.

If you're to buy a gaming laptop over 3070 Ti, RTX 4080 is the way to go. Initially the price was pretty high but slowly they are coming down and here multiple deals have been posted for Legion Pro 7 series with fully speced configuration around 2.1K.
That MSI not only has a lower resolution 1080p screen, it is one of those extremely poor displays you see in sub $1000 laptops with 250-nits brightness and just 60% sRGB color gamut. Everything on that will look dull and washed out and apart from gaming, it is completely unsuitable for any kind of editing works.
The nitro is better deal. Costco one is the last gen CPU, lower res 1080P screen, and less ports for $100 less. The only thing I see better is 1tb vs 512gb drive.

Since this is electronic, it's only a 90 day return so there's no benefit there.

Matches the cheapest a laptop with a 4070 has been so far this year, the only other laptop prior to this with a 4070 at this price point was a the Asus TUF.

The nitro is better deal. Costco one is the last gen CPU, lower res 1080P screen, and less ports for $100 less. The only thing I see better is 1tb vs 512gb drive.

Since this is electronic, it's only a 90 day return so there's no benefit there.

Well, Costco gives double manufacturer warranty and free tech support during that time, plus like you said 90 day returns is a lot longer than anywhere I know of. The CPU difference won't be a factor at all (for gaming) with a 4070 laptop. Screen is definitely better on this Nitro no doubt about that. I would personally take the Nitro just for the screen, but 144hz 1080 is far from trash level. 512gb SSD is far from ideal but whatever. Honestly at current prices of SSDs it is kinda crappy of them to not include a 1 tb.

But my comment was more about the price point data as it is the cheapest I have seen.

Does it matter that the CPU is Zen3+ and not zen4?

Thanks for all the info you put out into the community, and for all the deals you post. You are one of if not the most trustworthy community member when it comes to laptops.

Can I please ask your opinion on the 4070 mobile GPUs in general? Do you think it is a worthwhile upgrade to a 3070 or 3070ti laptop, or would you skip to a 4080 or even skip this gen? I have seen mixed reviews on 4070s and heard of problems where they seem to be permanently undervolted, never using the 140w max even under load.
