I'm sure hundreds of users have asked this question, but I wanted to ask it again via myself. I am about to go on vacation and will not have access to the computer and games while there (not that you ask, but we are going to Disney World). I'm going to be a junior in high school and am looking for a laptop that I will be able to run most games on medium-ultra settings (yes, yes I know that a low budget will lead to lower frames, I did all my research and understand this 100% so I'm hoping I don't get a lecture on this hahaha) . I don't have a set budget but all I know is that I'd prefer this to be under $1,300 US dollars, anything under 1,000 would be awesome. I like the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 gaming laptops. The one I customized has a 1050 ti, i7-7700HQ and 8GB of ram, plus the 1tb hardrive which most have. The total is about 1,000 dollars. I am fine with this, but this will also be for school work on the go and am hoping that this laptop will get me through the last 2 years of high school and all of college. I'm not sure which laptop is the best "bang for my buck". I also liked last years model but the GTX 960m makes me wonder if it won't be able to run modern games at "decent" frames, this also includes online games. If it can run most games at 60FPS and above at low-ultra settings, that's fine, I just want something that'll last me, good build quality, and will be a good multi-purpose machine for on-the-go gaming and school work yadda yadda yadda lol. Oh and also future internal upgrades will also be nice, but not mandatory. I appreciate all the help I'm able to get haha. Thank you and have a good day. apologies, forgot to add that I also have a desktop meaning the laptop will just be while I'm away from the desktop.

Forgot to add that I also have a desktop that I use that is kept up to date with graphics and running capabilities. This laptop is just for times I'm away from home and am like "Oh... I'm in the mood for some Battlefield 1" or any other games.
