Dad trying to help -Gaming Laptop-@ 1k or less.

Just trying to get a feel if there is a pack leader in this category or maybe what to avoid.

My daughter is just out of High School & has her first job. This is her money -I'm just trying to help.

And while I told her I did not approve of spending that much it is what she wants & I can't argue with her determination.

She was looking at a open Box Asus 15.6 intel core i7 16GB whatever that is. But the deal has expired. Suggesting she wait is probably not an option. Didn't work for me.

Anyhow any input would help I don't even own a cell phone and run a old desktop windows 7.

4. I know gamers tend to prefer Asus or MSI but...

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAC8868K1183
DELL i5577-7342BLK 15.6" Intel Core i7 7th Gen 7700HQ (2.80 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 16 GB Memory 512 GB PCIe SSD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop

This looks decent and has a good rating from more than a few users.
And... It's under $1k.

5. I love this place- they have sales & "weekly specials" & will help you by phone

does it have to be a laptop?- I'm a gamer & a monster desktop with a huge monitor makes any game a LOT of fun!

They have laptops too! 15' screen just to small for me

6. pc gaming is far more expensive on the upstart

way cheaper to game on a console, unless you plan on buying tons of games then i would side with pc for the cheap steam game costs.
Damn video cards these days are near half the cost of the computer
