I have not but I know MSI has a good reputation for laptops. Just make sure you get a few years of warranty, I think micro center has really good ones. Anytime you spend this much on tech you want to make sure your covered for at least two years.
Haha corporate greed is a real problem. Someone should make a law.
This "come to my store thing" is a tactic widely used in the 80's and 90's, because people would buy other stuff they saw on the shelves. This does not work now but MC's execs don't seem to get the hint. Nowadays people know in advance what they want, search for the best price, go and get out (if they must, like in this case". With any luck they will sell a laptop bag along with their below-cost laptop. Loyal customers don't exist anymore, either.
I see them going down in a couple of years.
This has been one of the best prices for a 275HX 5080 laptop though. Even if the tradeoff is having to upgrade the RAM.

The limit one per customer rule was implemented because scalpers were buying many NVIDIA GPUs at a time during the RTX 3090/4090 series. And scalpers have easily overcome it by just going into the store and making multiple transactions
Ultra 9, 5080 and 16gb or RAM. WTH are they thinking?
That people think they need a ton of ram are wrong?

I have a GE66 Raider with a 2070 that was purchased in 2020 and is still going strong with daily use. Imo they're solid

Well 16gb is the BARE MINIMUM. The minimum in this "High Spec" laptop should be 32GB which is still not a "Ton" of Ram [IMG]https://static.slickdealscdn.com/images/smilies/smile.gif[/IMG]

I agree for todays market it seems to be a fair price, but no 80 series laptop should cost 2k at least not without having an oled 240 hz and 64gb of ram, I would also like to see 4tb drives in it.
