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?

Can you use a steam deck like a laptop? Can you do PC stuff with it like web browsing, email, etc?

To have a better ex0erience than simply using your cell phone you can plug the deck into a dock and use an external screen and mouse and keyboard.

The steam deck is a computer with 16 gigs ram and an AMD APU. Flat out. It comes with a custom Linux distro set up to play games, but you can install any OS (or multiple OS') and use it any way you could use any other PC.
