"If you say so"
What really does "If you say so" in this context mean? Example of the context:
A - I'm saying that price of the laptop is less than $500
B - It is an expensive laptop
A- I am sure it is less than $500
B- Well, "If you say so"!
Is it rude? Most of the references I came across on the internet say it is pretty rude.
Thanks a lot!

It means 'OK, I accept your opinion although I still have some doubts. I don't want to argue anymore'. It may or may not be rude, depending on the context, the relationship between the two people, the tone of voice, the facial expression, etc.
