Hello,
I am graduating soon and I want a gaming laptop as a graduation gift from the parents and what is a good laptop? Anything that is under 14'' and under $1000. Also, I need headphones. So share your knowledge! Edit, I also need something with a keyboard blacklight. Cause I play at night.

The Lenovo Y580 15.6-Inch laptop is an all around great gaming laptop boasting a 15.6inch HD screen, a massive amount of system memory installed and a highly capable NVIDIA GeForce GTX660M graphics card with 2GB of dedicated video memory.

This is one the best choices as a gaming laptop having an unparalleled price to performance ratio and integrating a lot of useful features which span beyond a gaming ready portable machine. It runs on an Intel Core i7-3630QM which is accompanied by 6GB of RAM and a 750 GB hard drive for storage.

Hi, the Lenovo y510p series is currently the best deal you could get out there.

Running on a 4th gen i7 processor and a gt750m (faster the the y580's gtx 660m). You can also swap the optical drive for an SLI with the 750m's (on par with the gtx 770m) just for a little bump in the price. It also has an awesome 1080p resolution on an 15.6" hd screen and 8 gb RAM.
