Best Gaming Laptop for $1000 and under?

[tomcatguy74]

Hi everyone,

I am pretty sure this has been asked a thousand times but I figured I would try because it is coming close to the end of the year.

I am looking for a gaming laptop that is $1000 or under for myself and my son.

I would prefer it to have the following specs:

i7 quad core processor

At least 8 gb of ram

Nvidia Gtx 850 or higher with gddr5

1tb hdd

Backlit keyboard

Touch screen.

No smaller than 15"

Now I have seen a few computers out there with these specs but they are Acer and Lenevo and maybe a few others but I am not sure of the reliability and popularity of these companies.

I won't be puchasing anything until after black friday and cyber monday.

Which comes to my next question.

Will companies drop the prices of thier gaming laptops for these two shopping days?

I will be playing microsoft flight simulator X, Eve Online, Minecraft, and maybe a few other demanding games.

Please ask me any questions if you need more info.

Hope you all can help.

Thanks!

Rob
