Gaming Laptops?

Hey everyone,
So I’ve been looking around for gaming Laptops and have been struggling to find one that isn’t shit. The ones I’ve found that seem good are the Acer Predator 17 and the Dell Inspiron 15 7000.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for good ones or input on the ones above? I’m trying to keep it around or preferably below $1000.

And before anyone says anything, I already have a desktop. I need a laptop too :P
Check out OMEN laptops, pretty neat around the 1k mark :)
Yes omen gives you a good deal for you money. They produce them by the tens of thousands and sell them generally cheap.
I didn’t love the omen but found these three -

In my opinion I would not get the Lenovo Legion Y520, your paying a premium just for the PCIe SSD (which in my opinion is not worth the extra money when a regular SSD is cheaper and in my opinion fast enough for the average gamer). Out of the two Dell Inspirons, I would get the 7577 if you can afford it. If not, the 7567 is good enough, you can upgrade the storage and ram later to match up with the 7577. Just you won't have a 1060 6GB graphics card. I guess this leads me to ask you what kind of games you want to run. Another option would be to get the Sager NP7850 Notebook, which is about on par with the Dell Inspiron 7577.
I always recommend MSI, they specialize in gaming and have a wide range to choose from based on your specific needs. 
I have one from 2014 that is still running classics such as League, WOW, and Skyrim like it just came out of the factory. MSI's hold up nicely.
Fairly sure Sager laptops are cheap, but severely limited. Less known brand too. They use clevo laptops who is the group that makes laptop for Dell, hp etc for resale. Check out xoticpc if you are in the US. Hope this helps. Honestly, you could get a cheap laptop+ build a gaming pc for less than 1k. Just to let you know
MSI laptops are the most bang for your buck, I'd buy a desktop tho if you can
