Okay, so basically I would like to buy a laptop that I will be using mainly for school, online browsing, and potentially some light gaming. I am looking for something preferably all black with the option of an LED keyboard since I stay up pretty late. My preferred budget would be under $1,000. If I can get a monthly payment plan that be awesome too. But rather than that I prefer a good company. I really haven't had decent experiences with Dell or Acer or HP. If anything Asus or Razer would be my preferred company. If anybody has any suggestions or comments please leave them below! Thank you

ALSO: Red and black are my fav colours and I would Like a big Screen :D Thank you again <3

I already have a $2000 desktop at home so try not to mention that lol

That one is used, for a used system with a 960m that is not a great price, although it has an i7 CPU and a large screen.

My favorite site for gaming laptops is http://www.xoticpc.com/

Just do a sort by price and you should find plenty of options there in your budget.

Your issue is probably getting a large screen with a decent video card for gaming in your price range, in a new system that is. There are tons of 15.6" models in your price range with solid mid range video cards, for 17" screens it's a lot harder to stay under 1,000.

There is also these 2, the Asus has a faster CPU and larger SSD for more money but both are good all-around systems. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DT49XN8/ref=psdc_13896615011_t2_B015PYYDMQ...

It is a refurbished model, they'll do a factory reset and replace any parts that need replacing, still comes with a warranty as well. Posted it because it is great value.
@hang-the-9, you can get a 960M laptop with an i5 6300M for $649 open box or $699 new, but I'd personally prefer the extra power of an i7 in a laptop. ;)
@OP, if you don't want to risk it with a refurb, this is the next best thing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154111&cm_re=960M-_-34-154-111-_-Product

I took a look at Xotic, they're pretty overpriced in some places, but offer some solid deals.
Sadly nothing in OP's price range.
The closest I could find was this, which isn't a very good deal: http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np5653-clevo-w650rc1.html

An MSI laptop is your best choice. DEFINITELY because it has a black cover with red LED keyboard.

There are ones around 850, 900, 1000, 1100 dollars and its defintely good for mediocre gaming and school business.


I really recommend you MSI
