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?

On Dell... Dell has a bad reputation on the low end. Dell XPS machines are up there with Macs in terms of build quality (so as to say, the hardware is very well put together).

Agree on the $1000 thing though, probably should be higher now, that $1000 price point has been sitting for a while.

In any case, it's normally the chassis and cooling. Lots of companies will cram components that have no business being in a chassis into the chassis and then you get overheating, premature hardware failure, etc.
