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?

Lenovo legion is worth a consideration.

Do some research on what you can or cannot upgrade e.g. RAM and m2 drives. Look at notebookcheck website. Consider if you want a screen without PWM.

you don't have to go top of the line to get a good system. Also considering finding what you want and waiting for black Friday or a similar sale. The discounts can be worth it! X1 carbon extreme can get deep discounts for example.

    Going to echo this, Legions are great.

    Though also going to mention what others have said, if you can get a desktop, it'll be better for gaming. Not having to deal with thermal constraints generally means better value.
