Gaming Laptop ~$1000

[tential]

Need help finding one for my little bro.

Only requirement is that it's good enough to play League of Legends and has a SSD so that should pretty much be any laptop. I still want the best possible for him for $1000.

Clevo W370ST is what I'm looking at currently but wondering if there are any better deals out there.

I bought an Asus ROG (17") refurbished 3 yrs ago, still going strong...no SSD, however

league of legends will play on pretty much anything.

bit overkill

A 750m (equal to 650 desktop) should be easily able to keep max settings at 60 fps @ 1080p.

Drop down the gpu (if lol is all you are going to be playing) to get the ssd in your budget.

IF that is the only game he will play (or others with the same tech spec requirements).

Well that's why I was asking here. I can't seem to find a decent Haswell based system with a good GPU for under 1k.

If you can skip the SSD and the 17" display, check out the Lenovo Y510p, dual 750m.

Just out of my price range with that one.

I have one for sale in my sig if you're interested.

I got myself a Y410P (Y500's little cousin, i7-4700MQ/8GBRAM/1600x900screen/4.85lbs) for $850 but it only has a single 750M. Quite a nice laptop, but im seeing your price range is 150$ higher than mine.

If you don't mind going up a hundred or two, get a Sager NP7352 or Y510P.

I dont own either but im fairly happy with the Lenovo. However, i havent used SLI yet but i heard that people have only been getting microstuttering issues *if* you use the non-stock drivers. However, in tems of rendering performance, the SLI 750 will outperform the 765. And i prefer the Y series' looks and keyboard over the generic Clevo bodies. Also, the Y series are whisper-quiet, can't say the same for the Sager.
See this comparison, it'll helpful to you.
