Friend wants a gaming laptop for 1000 USD. I tried very hard to get him to go desktop, but no. I haven't done much laptop shopping, can anyone recommend?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Y50 is a little more but I would also take a look at that 

edit: the Y50 is also around the 1K price point
