Which laptop should i get?

[rx24rce]

I'll be a freshman in college next fall, and i'm currently looking for a laptop for my java classes and that can match these categories:
1) thin/light
2) price around $500-$1000
3) Able to run java scripts/c++/etc with no problem and have pretty decent/fast speed
4) decent at gaming

Are there any laptops out there like this?

Thanks for your help!

What do you mean by decent at gaming?
Runescape? Battle field 3? Left 4 dead 2?

How much do you want it to weigh at most?
Screen size?
