[verlique]

Well, Folks...

Also, I like to play games, so some laptop that can run in a good quality is good..

if go little over $1000 it's okay.

Light and gaming are not an easily found combination, it takes some decent cooling to keep a "gamer laptop" happily cool and some serious battery power to keep it running for more than 20 minutes of gaming, both of which are the primary weight producers in laptops.

What games are you looking to play with this laptop? BF4, SkyRim, Crysis, WOW or others?

Yes, I know bro, but I need to carry everyday to the university. Imagine carry 12lbs everyday... probably I will give up.
The most common games are BF4, Skyrim, CS:GO, DarkSouls2...

If it's a weight that I can carry everyday it's okay, but if is very heavy. Like Alienware, it's almost impossible to carry because i'ts like a portable desktop hahah.

I think that I can buy until $1200, but may I need to buy at least a good mouse too.

Thanks

And $1000 is at the low end for a gaming laptop.

You'll want something with an i7 4*** CPU, 8GB RAM, capable of holding 2 storage drives and with a GTX ***m Graphics card in it.

How much will think that is a good price to buy a good one?

Probably start at $1200 for something with a GTX in it and go to $3000 at the top end.

Maybe google MSI gaming laptops and have a look at what you get for how much. I'm in Australia so our prices are higher than the US.

eg see: Asus G750's - http/www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1538_1633&vk_sort=4

or MSI gaming (G series) - http/www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1538_1539&vk_sort=4

Have a look around at local outlets.

In preference - Asus, MSI thenLenovo. No Dell or HP.

The GE60 is good - http/www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=msi+ge+60&N=-1&isNodeId=1

There's a range to choose from.
