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?

Small tips: Look at the gpu. Also make sure the laptop have unused slots for ram so you can upgrade down the road if needed. Placement of fans/airflow matters.

So far all models I consider is good enough, my concern is how to avoid ripoff and find good deals

I usually look at price history on anything I buy and see where the one I'm interested in place among those. What's the lowest ever price, etc. You can research this a lot. Eventually you will get a feeling what's good and what's not. Black Friday coming up as well. Never a bad idea to see what happens. Only rarely do prices raise after compared to before.
