So my parents are going to get my a laptop as a graduation present in a few months. My budget is $1000 max and i want a good gaming laptop.

I do have a pc which i will be building and mostly using for gaming, but i also want a laptopt that can handle Leage of Legends and all other MMO's. I also want it to be somewhat thin/light. If posible, i'd like to play games like BF4 on med or low settings at atleast 30-40 fps, but i might be going a bit too far for $1000.

So far, i looked at the lenovo ideapad y510, but its just too thick in my opinion. Some of my other options i looked at are

So if you can suggest a new laptop or just choose the best from these three thatd help a lot.
 
The 15.6" Sager NP6652 is a relatively thin laptop at about 1.25" thick, but it is heavy at almost 6lbs. Which in general could be good since the weight may be due to a large heatsink for decent cooling. The base price of $879 does not include the operation system. You need to add $80 for Win 8. Based price comes with the Core i5-4200m and GT 750m.

They also sell 14" laptops which can be lighter, but there are none with dedicated graphics within your price range.

hmm, ok i think i can probably get away with $1100 if i need to. What kind of performance can i expect with the msi and the sager? Portaability is still my main concern however, if i t can run battlefield 4 on low and LoL maxed/high, ill be very happy. Other than these though, any other suggestions?

any thoughts on it? im not sure of the thickness since it doest say and i cant get a side view, but i think these specs are enough for what i will b using it for mainly.

MSI GE60 should be your choice. There's a significant difference between GT750M GDDR3 and GTX 760M GDDR5. And, if you're gaming, I don't think you would want something with a touchscreen. Also, the ASUS has a glossy screen whereas MSI gives you matte screen.

WAIT! DO NOT BUY YET! GET THE BRAND NEW GE70 BY MSI! ITS PRETTY GOOD BUT IT IS 1.54 INCH THICK.
IT HAS AWESOME GTX 860M GRAPHICS ALONG WITH INTEL 4700Q. 12GB OF RAM FOR 1,100.
