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?

Specs are tricky with laptops. I have two laptops with very similar specs. Same CPU, same RAM, etc. The Dell... sucks. It just runs like a slug who is drunk and disinterested. The MSI goes like a cheetah on speed.

    MSI WE63 8SJ i7-8750H, 32GB DDR4, 4GB Nvidia Quadro P200 Cost me 380$ Canadian. That's, like, 14$ US... Okay, I just googled, it was 280$ USD. Used, good condition, I was assuming I'd need to upgrade something on it, like HDD or replace fans or something, but nope! Works great.
