looking for a 14-15 inch lightweight good battery laptop for gaming under 1000 dollars

Hey, I'm looking g for a 14-15 inch laptop at about 1000$ with good battery and that's light, but also can run some games like borderlands 2 and just cause 2 at medium-high settings without getting hot, thanks

Other: I was looking at the lenovo ideapad y510p and another MSI computer at about the same price, but where ever I go, the reviews always say they get really hot, which is something I don't want in my PC

Internal components get to around 80 to 85C when loaded with MSI Kombuster and prime 95. And even loaded up its pretty quiet (there is a noticeable "whoosh" sound from the airflow under a gaming load). When used lightly it doesn't get that warm. And I can barely hear it in a library. The only hotspot when gaming is right above the exhaust on the extreme left edge of the keyboard.

Thank you very much frank, I have one final question though, how do the fans/ fan noise compare to the g55vw? Because I know its last gen I'm just worried and want my notebook to be the best it can be

fan noise on both notebooks is pretty quiet I would say (I have lots of friends with the 17 in ROG laptops). neither laptop throttles back when loaded up either. (on mine i sometimes see the turbo clock switching on and off but it never goes below its rated speed) the GPU however I have NEVER seen it back off (it runs at the GPU boost speed all the time at 718mhz. as I said when mine is loaded up its not very noticeable. the fan moves a ton of air though the only thing i would be worried about is if you are a left hand mouser. (the exhaust is on the left side). if you are right handed then you are all good.
