From what I know.

GT = Beast
GS = Light and compact with good performance
GE = most balance and above average performance
GP = Intermediate
GL = entry

I did ask them this too, they say coming soon

I did have a look at other region's site, it do look the same, and weight were stated same as the one I have. So yea. But i do not intend to wait for gtx1050, i only need it to do my daily work and some minor content designing.

Yeah, second hand gadgets don't have much resale value in general.
Unless its a hot graphic card with great power to performance ratio.
BitCoin miners usually would be willing to invest in those; so they hold their value better than other components.

Went to MSI flagship store. A representative from MSI Malaysia was there that day. Apparently the GT76 will arrive Malaysia middle of July 2019 and it was definitely in their 3rd quarter line-up.
Would likely visit their store again next month to have a gander at the display unit. Just to know what a RM20k+ laptop feels like.

I dont know... where did you read about the countless complains?
I personally own MSI laptops. But as always I do love to read about a good gossip.
The recent Alienware burning up was pretty juicy.
