Is Amazon.de Reliable for Buying Laptops? Are the Extremely Low Prices Legit?

I have come across unbelievably low prices for some laptops on Amazon.de and I wonder whether it's a safe option to get a laptop from there? A particular model I am looking at is priced around €600 on most websites but only around €400 on Amazon.de (it's NOT secondhand, it's marked as NEW). So how is this even possible? Are there any risks I'd be taking buying from Amazon.de?

People wouldn't be so desperately in need of luck every time, had Amazon paid enough attention to 'the customer' as much as third-party sellers. I know third-parties bring in loads of cash, but so do people.

Here's one example;

Acer Aspire V5-591G-50BA being sold around 800 EUR on this website:
https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90624881/acer-aspire-v5-591g-50ba.asp

And then on Amazon.de for only 340 EUR
https://www.amazon.de/Acer-15%C2%A0591G-39-62%C2%A0cm-DDR4%C2%A0RAM-GeForce/dp/B015O591OG/

(just click on 7 neu ab EUR 341,00 in the link above)

I use Amazon.de on almost a weekly basis and bought parts for 2 PC last month. That thing you see is not sold by Amazon, it is just a link to the 3rd party sellers. I wouldn't trust them to be honest.

As you can see the third-party seller selling that particular laptop at €400 has a very very high rating. But still, how can I be sure it's totally legit when an €800 laptop is being sold at only €400 and no returns are accepted?
 




Was probably a mistake, nothing there for that price now.

Still one at 474 euros [link to seller]

Really strange that the rest of them JUST disappeared, wouldn't you say?
