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?

Not sure why someone would want to.

Steam Deck is specifically for gaming. You "could" since it's a Linux.

But with $800, I would rather buy a SteamDeck for dedicated gaming, and a cheap Linux Thinkpad for dedicated laptop use. Rather than one single system that half asses both.
