Did I overpay for this laptop?

Hello I bought a laptop in a bit of a hassle but was wondering if I overpaid a little. I bought it mainly for media pleasure and some gaming. If you could take a sec tell me what you think please.

XMG A701

. 8GB (2x4096) SO-DIMM DDR3 RAM 1333MHz
. 500GB SATA-II 7200U/Min Seagate Momentus 7200.4 (ST9500423AS)
. DVD SATA Multinorm Brenner
. WLAN 54MBit (ohne Bluetooth)
. Garantie: 12 Month Pickup&Return
. Keyboard U.S. International

price around 900$ (bought it in germany)

im very pleased with the monitor has almost as good picture quality as my 3 year old (350$) samsung monitor and as I watch a lot of movies on it I dont regret the purchase but was wondering if I overpaid and maybe could have made a smarter choice.

Comparing it to Desktop parts, yes. However usually everything needs to be condensed. I think it would have been more reasonable at like $700.

i did pay 700 euro for it, maybe it kind of translates with the prices being a bit better in the US.

thanks for a swift

Yeah, it's hard to gauge prices when comparing things internationally. For example, prices for laptops tends to be a bit expensive in New Zealand, and even when there is a sale there, the laptops still cost more than regularly priced laptops in the US.

The best way is to check prices of that laptop or similar laptop in your own country.
