Would love to know the reason for this being downvoted. This exact deal is FP from B&H which is backordered, while you can purchase it directly from MSI with a one year warranty as well.

Any real downsides on this one? Other than that the price may be good but not great?
You can't really say "the price may be good but not great" because there's not many 17" gaming laptops to compare it with, except for the HP Omen 17 which is indeed $500 cheaper than this but falls short in many ways. Whether this justifies the price jump is up to each individual.
The main downside is the cooling being compromised; this has been reviewed to have heating and throttling issues. No real downsides other than that, I'd say.
The Lenovo but wait for the next sale. Should be available for $1900 or less.
This MSI is really a great laptop, just as good as the Lenovo and the Asus, but its big con is not supporting G-Sync/Advanced Optimus. (The good Dr might want to edit the info on the OP)

Done.
Also, it does support Advanced Optimus but not G-Sync.
That's not a deal. That's the price the Omen has currently been for the past week.
The lowest it has been is around $1480 directly from HP.
Better to search SD first.

When would you speculate the 'next sale' would be? After Christmas specials?
