I would recommend buying a cheap laptop for school, then building or buying a desktop for gaming, as they last much longer, but if you MUST get a laptop I recommend.

It has different options depending on price and should play MOST games on medium-high settings

A separate workstation laptop and gaming PC will get you MUCH better performance for the money while separating the two.
A gaming laptop is a poor value choice, and you're not going to get to high quality with that price range in a laptop.
Not to mention terrible battery life.
Get these.
This is a fantastic laptop, and just happens to have a 940MX graphics chip which should make esports gaming perfectly viable: https/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834315713&cm_re=i5_7200u_laptop-_-34-315-713-_-Product

I saw that first one, but I didn't notice the rebate.
The difference is 8 vs 16GB of RAM.
It's a much better deal at $949 though, get that OP.
