This is actually a really good deal compared to other retailers. Newegg has this model for the same price but open box. Compared to the previous MSI bundle that a bunch of suckers jumped on, the Aorus takes the cake!
hangman13You are right about the newer CPU. I mistakenly thought the CPU was a 7820HK :P
That said, this laptop has a desktop class GTX1070 while the MSI only has a 1060. The MSI laptop's screen is pretty horrible with only 94% sRGB gamut and 170 degrees view angle. Any computer above $1000 should come with 178 degress IPS 100% Adobe RGB support.
