Gaming laptop under 1000$

[Axonos]

Searching for a gaming laptop for a friend under 1000$
Most likely to be playing more CPU intensive games, so a good CPU is needed. Aiming for around 15 inch screen. I was looking at asus gl551jm and Lenovo y50, but wanted the experts' input. Thanks!

My friend asked me the same thing like 2 months ago, after a bit of research i found that the lenovo y50 is a pretty good pc. + it was on sale so he got it for something like 800 canadian dollars. Hes really happy with it playing most games with medium-high graphics. Im no laptop expert hope this helps!

This will probably be your best choice: Asus GL551JM i7 4710hq (turbo to 3.5 Ghz) , 16 gb ram and Gtx 860m 2gb vram.

or
Asus Republic Gamers
