Help finding a decent gaming laptop for $1,000

[nshpred]

So I am looking to buy a new laptop, and I would really like to find one that can handle gaming. I don't need one that can max out everything, though I would like to get something that is comparable to next gen consoles. I need it to be mobile for school, (hence a laptop as opposed to a desktop), and my price range is about $1,000. I've been looking at a Gigabyte P2542G-CF3, but I'm really not that knowledgeable about the inner-workings of computers, so I would really appreciate some help.

This laptop is great for gaming and has dual Nvidial GT750M SLI, and has a haswell i7.

If you want to get the better graphics they are right. If you wish to pay a little less,

Just wanted to let you know there are other options. Even the cheapest one listed here will perform wonderful. Graphics should be comparable to next gen gaming consoles, processor is better, and plenty of ram and everything. The price increases are well justified as they go up in price, and you get a suitable upgrade for every dollar you put in, however if you would like to go cheaper it is available.

You have several options:

1. Your options around $1000

2. Now two good options are the Lenovo Y510p (notebookcheck review)which has the highest gaming performance for such a price + nice matte 1080p screen, GT 750M SLI, 1TB HDD, good sound and generally good build quality. The GT 750M SLI is almost a GTX 770M in performance for almost any game, sometimes higher, especially with newer Nvidia drivers.

3. Another option, if you prefer a smaller laptop or if you prefer an excellent IPS screen is the Clevo W230ST (read review). The performance is very good with a GTX 765M, but lower than the Y510p. The screen is, however, very good IPS one. So it's a tradeoff. Also, it is a more compact one

Thoughts?

Like I said in the first post the Y510p is the best choice. GT 750m SLi is faster than a GTX 765m, and also it is a well known brand.
