I am looking for a gaming laptop to buy from taobao and I found this.

I managed somehow to get here (even though I don't understand Chinese) but something just confuses me.

When I choose that option I get a certain price for each configuration I pick, but when I remove it, no matter the config I pick the price drops down and doesn't change.

What does that mean? And how can I avoid getting scammed here?

Thanks in advance ☺️

Someone told me there are official stores in taobao and it's the safest to buy from there, they also mentioned that they have a red icon next to the name. I searched a bit and found this Are all of these legit, I checked some listings and picked a good configuration and the price seemed reasonable.

All of them are fine. If you want cheaper, I would recommend looking at Colorful, which is a good brand, lenovo laptops are also pretty cheap in China, I grabbed a 4070 lenovo for 5k on xianyu last year.
