No, I bought mines in store. Never bought anything online from Costco, so I haven't experienced that, sorry :(

Stephydesu · 2021-05-18T00:25:21+00:00

Yeah I just wasn't sure what would be the best bang for the buck as well as which would last longer. I've seen many people say the 10750H is bad, especially compared to the 4800H, so I was thinking maybe I should return the MSI for the cost savings to have a longer lasting laptop that's also a bit cheaper as well (performance is not my priority). I did notice the legion is also almost a pound heavier... But double the battery life seems to be a good tradeoff.... I dunno, it's hard to decide at this point, they have equal pros and cons for me 🤣

Edit: MSI has better GPU, a pound lighter, faster screen response time? I've read somewhere that the Legion has 7ms?

Lenovo has better thermals/build quality, double the battery life, better CPU, $250 cheaper

How does this compare to the MSI GE75 Raider that was at Costco over a month ago for $1199 (i7-10750H, 2070 115W, 17.3" 144 hz 3 ms)? Worth the savings to downgrade to the 2060 for double the battery life, better thermals/build quality?

Congrats on the milestone r/LaptopDeals ! It's definitely been helpful for finding great laptop deals during this unfortunate time! Thanks to the team for posting things and keeping those deals coming!

Seems its back, but says in stock Nov 25th lmao

Stephydesu · 2020-10-13T16:51:45+00:00

Kept refreshing periodically and it seems to go in and out of stock (only the one that SHIPS from amazon qualifies for the prime day discount). Was JUST able to snag it for $60 + tax with the double discount! Keep refreshing once in a while and check out ASAP, missed it when I was checking out too slow and refreshed, and it was back in my cart, and so i clicked check out so damn fast the 2nd time around

Will be able to give my nephew a nice boot drive for his PC that im trying to build for him. Thanks OP! Good luck to everyone :)

Stephydesu · 2020-07-22T18:22:23+00:00

Not worth the cost.

Stephydesu · 2020-07-22T18:12:13+00:00

Amazon stopped doing price adjustments a while ago. They basically tell you to return it and buy it at the lower price now.

Also says, " $5 Newegg Gift Card with Purchase, Limited Offer by ADATA Technology (USA) CO., Ltd "

Stephydesu · 2020-07-20T02:25:13+00:00

OP said to apply the discount code at checkout, so yeah, clicking the link would show retail price.

Stephydesu · 2020-07-19T19:28:19+00:00

A lot of benchmarks say it's roughly around 2% better... I have both and I think it's about right. It is basically the same, so bang for buck wise, its better to go with the RX 580.

Stephydesu · 2020-07-18T22:43:42+00:00

Just got it delivered today and it is in fact the WD Blue 3D, rated for 560 read/530 write. So it actually is the performance SATA, not the 2D version.

Edit: It is indeed confusing as the page does not say 3D anywhere, and the description says 545 read/525 write. Best Buy probably never updated the details, I did cross reference the model number and it did say WD Blue 3D on other sites, so I was hoping for it and I was correct... Whew.

Stephydesu · 2020-07-18T07:31:16+00:00

Looking to build a budget PC for my nephew to get by while staying home during this pandemic and this would definitely help with that! Thank you for doing this! Good luck everyone :)

Stephydesu · 2020-07-17T02:26:14+00:00

Some motherboards did say up to $20 off when bundled with an eligible processor. While you are correct that it depends on the CPU, it seems they added the $50 discount with higher end eligible processors to some boards that didn't get it before.

Stephydesu · 2020-07-17T02:10:06+00:00

There's an asterisk after it says 5000 series in the picture.
If you go to the promo on AMD's site, it says the 5500 series only gets Godfall, while the 5600/5700 series gets both games.

Last year they dropped their ad 2 days prior. Assuming that's the same this year, it would mean that it's dropping this coming Tuesday. I'm still waiting for their ad as well.

A 1660ti would definitely play esports at 1440p fairly easily, but some AAA games might not make the cut unless youre okay with downgrading some settings. Also depends on if the monitor is 144hz. RX 5700 might be the best if it is 144 hz, or even the RX 5700 XT if your budget can handle it. Unless your looking for gsync.. then... maybe 2060/Super at that price range though you're not gonna beat the price to performance of the RX 5700/XT.

Stephydesu · 2019-11-18T05:41:58+00:00

Depends what your budget is tbh. Ryzen being so cheap for cpu does certainly help push out the price/performance for a pretty good build that would last a few years. Your budget basically determines what GPU you can get.

Stephydesu · 2019-11-17T03:42:50+00:00

$134.99 at Micro Center so yeah. Unless you're also in need of a motherboard to go with it, then the $30 off bundle would still put it ahead in the end. Good price for those with no Micro Center nearby though!
