hello! looking to buy sub 1K laptop, general suggestions? - eviltoast

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?

    At that price point I’d recommend looking at used or refurbished units that are still in good condition. I like using Swappa for used devices

      Looks like there’s Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 units that are below $900. I’ve heard good things about that line. Make sure to watch/read plenty of reviews before pulling the trigger though

      Should probably try to set a few more parameters to narrow your search, like RAM and storage. I’d recommend an SSD and if you like large games opt for 1 TB or more
