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?

This is so specific I have to wonder why you are even here asking for advice. NewEgg has exactly 5 in-stock laptops meeting these criteria.

my only issue is which brand is RELIABLE. I don't want to spend a 1000$ and spend it again next year.

Down in this price range it’s all cheap plastic and lowest-bidder components. Doesn’t matter which brand you buy, it comes down to how well you take care of it and a bit of luck.

Actual well-built and well-designed machines are close to double your budget.

I would highly recommend watching the YouTube channel Jarrod's Tech. His channel focuses almost exclusively on laptops. And gaming ones at that. He'll review $3000+ beasts, but will also review sub-$800 laptops and everything in between. And he looks at quite a bit of things on them.

If you want to learn more about laptops and which ones are good, his videos are absolutely worth the time.
