Hi! I wanted to buy a budget gaming laptop at around ~800 USD (equivalent). Currently checking out a gigabyte 3060/11400@ 850$. Is this priced right? Shoukd I look for better deals? Also, what about gigabyte laptops, are they reliable? Should I buy it? What brands should I look for, if not?

    Treat laptops like phones.

    They last a few years but quickly become outdated.

    My gaming PC I built in 2018 was a $1500 investment that is still playing every single triple-AAA game without a issue. The only update I made was a new SSD drive for more space.

    If your budget is locked, I made a suggestion here for a SteamDeck and a cheap Linux laptop like a Thinkpad. https://lemmy.world/comment/3752617
