Which is great in great shape. but It's just gets so hot to use and all the cords and it just want a desktop again. My question would it be worth it to sell the laptop and get this instead ?? The value of price is about the same all said and done. I'm just wondering performance wise. This laptop does have a full power 3070ti think like 160w on load.
I am just going to wait and see what next gen brings to the table since price drops on current merch are usually only on the less stellar performers, and being they are already 2 years old I think they should be at least 25-35% cheaper by now and not a paltry 5-15% - my 2 cents
I guess I could get this deal and upgrade card later regardless when price comes down. Still will feel like an upgrade in meantime
Ah, I just saw it after posting - I'm looking at the Ti vs Super and you're talking about the "Ti Super". I added to compare and it's actually showing worse performance than the regular Ti?!?!! Terrible price per performance: https://www.videocardbe

Regarding Costco return policy on computers, [they only provide a 90-day return window for computers](https://customerservice
Before going into the Intel CPU stuff in detail this chip is not known to be affected by the burnout issue.
Regarding the ongoing Intel CPU failure debacle, yes it is very real and yes Intel has acknowledged the issue finally. Intel has responded with a software update although it's not entirely clear yet if the update completely resolves the issue. It's important to note that Intel has extended its warranty for the affected chips from 3 years to five years, and this covers both boxed chips as well as OEM installs like the item in this deal. Again, this chip is not known to be affected by the burnout defect, so it is not on the list of CPUs covered by the warranty extension, but it would be reasonable to assume it wpuld get similar treatment if the issue turns out to be more widespread (which seems unlikely at this point). Information about the Intel warranty extension can be found here: https://community.intel
All in all I probably wouldn't be too worried about the reliability of this CPU, but personally I would avoid any of the known burnout models like the plague. And I say this as someone that has built my own PCs using exclusively Intel chips for 15 years.
Just spend the 30 seconds installing the new BIOS when you get the PC and the problem will never occur.
Let's not also forget that Intel still has operational recommendations for these chips that don't actually make sense.
Finally, if you plan on keeping an Intel system for any length of time, you really should consider the insane difference in power consumption. In at least one case, you'd be spending 400% as much power for less performance in demanding games. Full disclosure, that example is a comparison between the 14900k and the 7800x3d. However, Intel chips really do just draw a ton of power overall.

Note: after a fresh install, your machine might not have the drivers for the track pad, wireless card yet (i.e. you need a usb mouse, an internet cable to connect your laptop to the router). Everything will work correctly (trackpad, wireless card ...) after you update everything in Settings | Windows Update. That's what happened with my MSI Cyborg laptop.
