I am planning to buy a laptop around ~900$ (equivalent) budget. But I am not sure to recognize good deals. I currently have my eyes locked on a gigabyte one with 3060/11400H.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what to look for? Also gigabyte good at making laptops?
“Gaming”
“Sub $1,000”
My gut reaction is “choose one”.
You might be able to get a gaming laptop under $1K but get ready to replace it in 2 years.
The vast majority of games, even the best ones, won’t require a top-of-the-line spec, so there’s very little that the OP would be barred from playing.
Can be done, but the timing has to be right. My buddy got a midrange gaming laptop during prime days (from a different retailer) that was regular priced around $1500 at the time for $850. I don’t like the one he got but I understand his reasoning.
If OP is looking to buy today, maybe. If they can hold off another couple of weeks then there’s a smaller “big sale” going on that they may be able to game to get something sub $1k that would normally be more.
If they don’t care about playing the very latest at 4k high then they’ll likely be able to get 5 years out of it.
