I recently found this on Amazon and it seems like a good laptop for gaming at a good price, but I'm not really sure. Would I be able to run the Witcher 3 on max settings with no lag on this laptop? Has anyone had experiences with this laptop? If so, what are some pros and cons? Thank you in advance!

Based on the game benchmarks in the following link (scroll down), the GTX 970m should get roughly 43 FPS in Witcher 3 @ 1080p using high graphic settings based on the laptops they tested. Ultra settings drops to about 26 FPS.

hello,

I would recommend the following:

By spending about $50 more you get a laptop with current gen Pascal based GPU, which should be able to run Witcher 3 on high settings @ 60+ FPS

But if you want to remain strictly within the budget, here's another with superior specs to the one you posted:

Please check the below link to get an idea about what kind of perf. to expect:
