Good “Budget” Gaming Laptops

I am a mainly pc gamer with a relatively good pc. I have no trouble playing any games I want at home. With starting to travel more and going to college next fall I want to get a decent laptop that can help get me my fix of gaming if I’m out somewhere. Because I already have a desktop I don’t need it to be near as powerful with all the bells and whistles. I don’t play any super taxing games but would like the ability to run them even on low if necessary. I’d like to stay at or around $1000 but don’t mind going a little more if it is really worth it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks!!

The Dell G5 gaming laptops with the 1050ti or 1060 in them tend to be a good bang for the buck gaming laptop and run between $1000-$1300 US on sale.

They also don't have a super Gamery aesthetic to them which is nice if you don't want the aggressive design and RGB or some of the other gaming laptops.

Location? Preferred max weight and min battery life? Usage? Do you need good quality (high sRGB) display?
