The guy's amazing as long as you don't mind more heat than certain designs, or maybe this:

It has a Intel Iris Pro which does fine as long as you turn down settings a lot (like 720p), but the most attractive is grabbing another GPU.

If you don't want that, here's one that has great cooling:

It is 1,900$ when you include the docking system. Way out of his budget.


Try.

Keep in mind that the more you spend on a laptop the more likely you'll be disappointed with the graphics performance when you realize that the laptop graphics cards are not nearly as powerful as their desktop counterparts. With that kind of budget you're honestly better off getting a $400 laptop and putting the rest toward a good gaming desktop, that way you get the best of both worlds.

Don't get the one Bossyfins recommended when you can go way lower. 😉 xD

I wouldn't touch anything open box with a 10 foot pole. A lot of stores put open box stuff back on the shelf without marking what it was returned for, and you're pretty much at your own risk buying this stuff. Most open box items also aren't covered by manufacturer warranty either.

Thank you all for your responses. I already have a full size desktop to play games on. This laptop would be for college and some light gaming.

but do you guys think this is a better option?

What kind of light gaming? What games. You are spending a lot on a gaming laptop when you could get a decent laptop for about 1200$ that would fit your needs fine.

Both laptops you have mentioned are very high end laptops and should be able to play the current games at high settings easily. Now these laptops are serious gaming machines which are designed for the hardcore gamer.

But as you have said that you only play light games, these maybe a bit overkill. I would look for a laptop with a gt 840m which is ok and can play games at medium settings for most games and should give you enough battery life when you are in collage. But this will depend on the games you play.

I have a good laptop that can run some games at ultra besides like witcher3,dying lite. but it can run minecraft shaders and minecraft modpacks. Here's the link. P.S. It runs battlefield4 at 60 fps ultra settings. Here's the link.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152817 It has gtx 970m and i7 proccesor.
