You have to determine best and more.

It's better to supply a short list so I can look up the expected GPU performance and review on a few games. For now, nod to Alienware, XPS and Lenovo y50 models.

The office picked up the dual GPU y510p w/16GB RAM, i7 4th gen for 999 2 years ago. Today for 1100, you have a lot to choose from.

They are good but a little heavy. 2.6 Kg its a little heavy for carying. Is there anyother laptop with this quality of hardware but a little lighter ?

Maybe.

But as before the price tends to double as the weight drops. Those are called ultrabooks and may blow your budget or not have the horsepower that the models I noted have.

Good hunting.
