what website is that? I tried amazon but it's 100 dollars more expensive.

Lenovo Y40 or Y50 would be good as well, although, GTX 800 graphics would be better than AMD R9 graphics.

My cousin needs a new laptop and he needs it for playing CS GO and work. The budget is under 1,000 USD. I'm excited to see what the forum members of LinusTechTips can help me find.

That JZ one that linus uses on the WAN show

TIL $2000+ < $1000 

 

If he can up his budget, Digital Storm or MSI are good options, and can be had for around $1200--gtx 760/860-ish.

Just make sure whatever laptop he gets has a GTX series gpu--GT series is crap.
