[radibg2]

I've found great solutions like Asus Rog G551JW, Acer Aspire V15 Nitro - Black Edition, MSI GE62 APACHE PRO Is there a laptop withing this budget that have a subwoofer, SSD(min 128GB), 7200rpm HDD(min 500GB), 1080p> IPS matte screen, GTX 960M or better, 8GB> RAM, i7 4720HQ or better, high quality sound at least 2.1

Are you aware that laptops are not the best gaming platform? Performance is lower than the equivalent desktop model. Only thing you can upgrade is memory and hard drive. GPU cannot upgrade, it is soldered on motherboard. CPU not recommended to upgrade. heat removal might not handle extra heat from faster CPU. When playing games laptop get very hot and noisy fan. The only advantage is portability.

I'm fairly certain this forum is designed to help people find what they are looking for. If you are willing to use a cooler, which I suggest when gaming. Some of them have 2.1 sound system built into them http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834952016&cm_re=laptop_cooling_speaker-_-34-952-016-_-Product or http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834953028&cm_re=laptop_cooling_speaker-_-34-953-028-_-Product
Also, If you can go up to $1300, I highly recommend this with i7 5700HQ, 970m, IPS: http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834233094&cm_re=970m-_-34-233-094-_-Product There is also this @ $900 i7 4720HQ, 960m, IPS: http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834314849&cm_re=960m-_-34-314-849-_-Product There are some models in between, but none I recommend at the prices.

Yeah the Gigabyte is nice. Now i oscillate between http/www.msi.com/gaming-iframe/nb/GE62-6QD-Apache-Pro.html#hero-specification and http/www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5458#kf. The Gigabyte has better GPU but the MSI have better CPU and a Type-C usb. Also i can't find an exact price for the MSI. Can you tell me what is the price of the MSI?

I'm not sure that MSi has hit the market yet, as it has a Skylake CPU in it. Though I would imagine it's going to be starting at $1100-1200 and up when it does come out. The 960m will play games fine, but the 970m will play them very well. It's not even a competition.
