I want to buy a new laptop since mine is pretty old already, even though I built a gaming pc I want a gaming laptop to play when I'm not home, I want something under 1,000 dollars, it's probably not much for a gaming laptop but I just want something reliable any suggestions ?

there's 2 that I'd chose from.

an Asus ROG GL551jm ~$1050

or a lenovo idea pad y50 for ~$900

both have an 860m gpu which is about as good as it gets for this price bracket.

Gaming PC: • AMD Ryzen 7 3900x • 16gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200mhz • Founders Edition 2080ti • 2x Crucial 1tb nvme ssd • NZXT H1• Logitech G915TKL • Logitech G Pro • Asus ROG XG32VQ • SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless

Laptop: MacBook Pro M1 512gb

Hhmm.. Maybe u wanna take a look at my laptop. MSi GS60 Ghost Pro 2QE 3K With GTX 970M and 1600p IPS panel.

Yea.. I know. It's more than $1000. But, it's a supernice deal. U can save your money for some time if u want to.

Trust me, it's a good gaming laptop. U won't regret it

Asus Zenbook ux305la if you want an ultrabook with an 840m and a touchscreen, for those who want a razer blade but can't afford one.

Lol just cause I want setting at a certain price doesn't mean I can't afford it, I'd rather have an extra 500 bucks in my pocket than pay it for 2-3 minuscule things

If you want more portability go get the gs60, just that it's limited to the 970m.

Also I don't think the stealth editions are worth imo, windows is poorly optimized for high-resolution scaling so 1080p is probably the most you want on a windows laptop.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.
