Looking to buy a laptop, mainly for gaming but might also use for editing and work related stuff.

$800-900 would be ideal but I can go higher if needed.

I don't really care about size or weight, but would like atleast a 1050ti, 256 SSD and 1tb hdd if possible. Battery life isn't too important since it will be plugged in most of the time, but having more wouldn't hurt.

Also no red backlit keyboard if that's possible. lol I just don't like the way red looks, unless it's part of an rgb color scheme.

$1080 (Newegg deal) Acer Aspire 7: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834316435&ignorebbr=1

It has an i7-8750H, GTX 1060, and a 256 gb SSD storage. Does not have a hard drive.

$1100 ASUS ROG STRIX GL503GE: https://www.amazon.com/Notebook-i7-8750H-GeForce-Windows-Computer/dp/B075LMR1ZL/ref=sr_1_100?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1533960999&sr=1-100&keywords=gaming+laptop&refinements=p_n_feature_seven_browse-bin%3A3012497011

Has an i7-8750H 250gb ssd and a 1050 ti, again no hard drive.

But for $100 dollars more you could get an Acer Predator Helios 300...

1. There are actually several deals right now, like the MSI GV62 from newegg ($850-$900) with regular GTX 1060 and some others
2. However, I would wait for the next generation of laptop GPUs at this point and for this price range
