I had posted a post regarding wanting to buy a gaming laptop, but it turned out to a discussion about budget and such I didn't get much much info from it..

Forget about budget and other stuff and all. If you HAVE to buy a laptop and gaming IS a requirement, what would you look? which brands are good or bad?

Dude, you're looking at a sub 1K laptop. There isn't going to be any brand at that price that isn't going to be cheap plastic, not so great build quality and components. That's just going to be the reality of that price range unfortunately, every laptop in that range is going to be about compromise and more prone to be on the edges on the bathtub curve for early life failures and premature timeline failures.

All the major brands, MSI, ASUS, Lenovo, Razer are going to be very similar at that price point.
