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?

Does windoze really cost that much on a prebuilt system? I thought it was much cheaper.

It doesn't. It's often negligible in an OEM PC. At least, most companies pass very little on to the consumer for avoiding a Windows license.

It does, it's a cost that's added into the final sale of the computer
