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?

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.
