No laptop will match a desktop for price/speed.

The PC you have listed uses an older CPU and video card, although both are still pretty fast. Is that a used system?

I'm sure parts are higher in your area than in the US, but for $800 in US you can get a much better system. The laptop is double the price of the desktop, if you have that much in your budget you can build a very good desktop system with new parts.

Intel i5-6500, nVidia GTX 1060 or 1070 card. Will be faster than both and cheaper than the laptop.
