Best Gaming Laptop $1000 or under?

[Clastro]

I've been trying to look everywhere for the best gaming laptop under 1k and i can't seem to find one. Can you guys recommend me some good gaming laptops?

Unfortunatly, with a budget that low, you really aren't going to find a gaming laptop.

Laptop parts are expensive; more so for gaming capable ones, which is why they tend to START around $1500. If it costs them $1100 to make, they aren't going to sell it for $1000.

Lenovo Y580 15.6-Inch Laptop (Dawn Grey)

The Lenovo Y580 15.6-Inch laptop is an all around great gaming laptop boasting a 15.6inch HD screen, a massive amount of system memory installed and a highly capable NVIDIA GeForce GTX660M graphics card with 2GB of dedicated video memory.

This is one the best choices as a gaming laptop having an unparalleled price to performance ratio and integrating a lot of useful features which span beyond a gaming ready portable machine. It runs on an Intel Core i7-3630QM which is accompanied by 6GB of RAM and a 750 GB hard drive for storage.

The Y580 is no longer on the Lenovo website. The Y500 with the GT750 with the option to buy a 2nd GPU for SLI is the better deal and still under the $1000.
And it will be faster then the GTX660. With SLI it is faster than the GTX675.
They are on sale for $470 off on the Lenovo site.

Sounds good to me. Thanks for the info.

Here is a review of the GT650 SLI model. The GT750 has a 22% higher clock for the GPUs.

You can get a SLI model or a single GPU and buy a 2nd GPU later. With the ultrabay you can add the 2nd GPU in seconds.

The GPU is not on sale at this time. Just keep checking the site for a sale. I got my 2nd GPU for $137.
