All PC manufacturers are overpriced, thats why I build mine custom. That being said, my latest purchase was a Gateway laptop. For the specs it has and only $800, nothing else compared. To buy an equally powered gaming laptop from Dell would have cost $1200 or more. My desktop builds were usually $500 to $600 compared to the $900 to $1000 it would cost to get from a manufacturer, but you have to know what you're doing. Things have to be compatible and connecting everything is not for the faint of heart
