Because ROG Alienware MSI all above 1500

I just came across Lenovo Y700. What you say?

Not all gaming series are expensive. Check this one out. It's the best price to performance sub$1000 gaming laptop according to me(currently at $780, usual price is ~$800).

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series, 7559(yeah, it's part of Dell's gaming series)

Key features: Core i5 6300HQ, GTX 960M, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Windows 10

It is powerful enough to run DOTA/DOTA 2 at high settings and 1080p.
