Hello! I need some help, helping a friend find a good gaming laptop.

My friend's budget is 1000$, but they can go up to 1500$ if need be. I keep looking but I don't like any of the laptops from 2017 or 2016 that I see and I am more versed in desktop's and hardware than laptops as a whole.

The number 1 thing they care about is a fast SSD and I was hoping for
i7-6700 or 7700
gtx 1060 (or 1070 if budget allows)
good battery life
good build quality
good cooling although I am suggesting they get a cooling pad so keep that in mind if it helps.
good sound.

I don't think they need an over abundance of Usb ports and the resolution is fine at 1080p.

Thank you for the help.

Pretty much any model there is good. For your price it will probably be a system with a 1060 video card. Battery life you won't get in a gaming system, it will not be as good as you want it to be, just pick what you like the looks and features of, you can modify any system with any SSD you want if it does not have it as stock.

So you personally have one you would recommend?
