Lightweight laptop (Light gaming and school)

pyropanda1

So I am currently trying to find a laptop to use for school and light gaming.

I need it to be lightweight and thin if possible but I would like it to be able to do light gaming like cs:go for things like LAN partys etc

My budget is around $900-$1100 AUD.

 

My current laptop is an acer aspire 5750g with a gt 520m (old I know) 

I don't know much about laptops thats why I came here :)

I initially bought a windows pc for that price and I regretted it (desktop is running windows). Returned it n bought a Macbook Air.

I agree, a Macbook may be better for you.

If you could stretch your budget a bit I've seen an MSI gs30 I believe it was on PCcasegear for $1350 (somewhere around there) with a GTX 860m which could handle those games. Will post link if I find it
