German here.

Stay away from Amazon, for anything PC related, they are usually more expensive. Often times, it's just other Pc-Shops selling over Amazon, creating additional Cost. Sometimes, there are nice "deals".


Specifically for Laptops, i'd recommend Pages like geizhals: https://geizhals.de/
It's not a Shop, but it lists all Shops, that sell a specific product. So you can see, which Shops sell that Model. The listings aren't alway sperfect, but pretty good.

 

Example: Legion 5 Pro is a very popular Gaming machine: https://geizhals.de/lenovo-legion-5-pro-16iah7h-v94443.html

Even the last years model with Ryzen 5000.

In this case, the Cheapest model they List is a i5 12500H and RTX 3060 for 1599€, and you can just click on the Shop that sells it for that Price, here it's Alternate.

 

Another page with a Community is Mydealz: https://www.mydealz.de/search?q=Gaming Notebook

i already put the Search term "Gaming Notebook" in, sometimes there are pretty nice deals, sometimes with coupon Codes. Always a good idea to check if there's any deals going around.

 

Or you can try german Computerforums, for example Computerbase. naturally, germans usually know best, what's going on in the german Market.

 

Well, that's for now how to find deals/good prices/comparisons etc.
These are the Shops worth mentioning: Notebooksbilliger, Alternate, Caseking, Easynotebooks, Mindfactory, Computeruniverse, Media Markt, Saturn.

I'd stick to Geizhals.de, since they usually have pretty good productfilters. If you're unsure if your chosen Vendor is good or not, feel free to make sure by asking here, or directly in a german Forum.

 

 

Keep in Mind: If you buy a Notebook here, you will get a german Keyboard layout. You will have to get used to that, and once you go back home, you're still stuck with that Layout.

Might be a good idea to buy one in your Country with your familiar Layout.

It's not impossible to find US/UK Layout Models here, but it's more Rare.

Howzit.

 

I am moving to Germany in November for 5 months and would like to purchase a gaming machine for while I am there. I would like to purchase a laptop but am unsure on what websites to look at and trust in the region other than Amazon. Are there any sites that I should look at for buying a laptop as opposed to only Amazon?

 

Thanks 😄
