Top 5 gaming laptops under 1000$? [2/5]

[Cacao]

Hello, I'm currently scouting out for the top 5 gaming laptops under 1000 USD (they will be used in a youtube video). I currently have 2 laptops on my list, hopefully I can get some help finding the other 3. 

 

These are the 2 I have already:

 

Acer Aspire V3-772G-5413 800$

Intel Core i5-4210M 2.6 GHz Processor (3MB Cache) 

8 GB DDR3L SDRAM

1 TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive

17.3-Inch Screen, GTX 850M

Windows 8.1, 3.5-hour battery life

 

-------------

 

Lenovo Y50 15.6-Inch Laptop (59418222) Black 980$

 

Intel Core i5-4200H 2.8 GHz Processor

8 GB DDR3 RAM

1 TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive, 8 GB Solid-State Drive

15.6-Inch Screen, GTX 860M

Windows 8.1, 4-hour battery life

 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? I pretty much only have 2 requirements for the laptops:

-Must be UNDER 1000 USD (So no 1050$, 1100$ etc. nothing more than 999.99$)

-Must have a GTX 850M or better (there are LOADS of laptops in this price range with GT 840M)

 

Thanks

Lenovo y40/y510p, maybe? Are you trying to stick with laptops that are the most recent version of their model? (aka 800 series GPUs isntead of 700 series)

I was considering the Y510p, but it's performance is pretty much on par with the Y50 I posted above, only you won't have to deal with SLI issues, so I decided to leave it out. Can you link me to a specific Y40? I haven't really looked into that one yet, does it have performance on par with the GTX 850M?

Eh, it's hard to track down benchmarks on the R9 M275, but from what I can tell, it does seem a good deal weaker than the 850M. Plus, the CPU is a fairly weak dual-core i7. I've only ever seen it suggested when a person's budget absolutely can't fit in the y50.

Anyway, here's an option for your list:

 

Sager NP7358 - http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np7358-clevo-w350ss-p-6991.html

 

860M for $999...BUT that's only because this particular reseller doesn't sell it with an OS. Adding ~$85 or so will put it over your limit. If that's a tad dishonest for your list, there's the Sager NP6658(comes with a 850M) that is $999 with a copy of Windows:

Those are pretty good options, thanks!

You should be able to find these for less than a thousand dollars. http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N550JV/specifications/

Thanks, but that falls quite a bit short compared to the others I'm looking at. It looks like it'll end up being a top 3

 

Lenovo Y50, Acer Aspire V3-772G-5413 and SAGER NP7358.

Is it because of the 750m? I can still game on my retina Macbook Pro on a 650m.

Yes, that and the 1366x768 display. Also it's just over 1000$. It just doesn't make sense when you can get laptops with a GTX 860M for a lower price.

I found it on XOTIC PC for 939, by the way I found a laptop on there with the mobile version of the 290x for 1066. http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gx60-3be240us-limited-availability-p-6157.html
