I have been researching laptops for a while now, and I have boiled it down to Lenovo. But they have so many laptops, I don't know which one to pick! I have put below some of the things, you guys might need to know, before answering:
Budget: $1200
Uses: Gaming: School
Touch screen: Does Not Matter
OS: Win 8 or 8.1
Battery Life: At least 4 hours
Webcam: Would Be Nice, but don't need one
Mic: No, but could have one
Thanks you so much for all the help! Any help is appreciated. The poll above is just for giggles. I already know that Alienware isn't worth it, but I want to know what YOU think!
Why not go with a Sager instead? It would be a lot better for gaming and I wouldn't say Lenovo really has any actual gaming laptops for under $1200. This Sager is only $949 and has an i5 processor with a GT 750M. I would suggest this model because it's powerful enough for gaming, but is still slim enough to be portable. http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=product_info&model_name=NP6652

They all suck. They just suck differently. Sort of like prostitutes.

Thank you for putting Sager out there, but it doesn't actually have to be a DEDICATED gaming laptop. I just want one that can run around 70+ on Minecraft, TF2 etc.
EDIT:
Forgot to say, while I looked at Sager, I now for sure I am going to get lenovo. Thank you for your help, it is really appreciated.
why don't you think about the Lenovo Y510p?The Lenovo Y510p is the best option for your budget
Intel i7-4700MQ 2.4 GHz,1TB 5400 RPM,8GB DDR3,NVIDIA Dual SLIGT750M 2GB DDR5
Is there a reason you are specifically looking at Lenovo laptops? You are really limiting your choices by doing so. That not only leaves out Sager, but Asus as well which makes great laptops with excellent build quality. And Sager isn't limited to gaming laptops either. That's why I recommended a slimmer one that is no larger than a regular laptop, but more powerful.

Only the name Lenovo makes this laptop more pricey
Laptop with same specs (NO NOT ALIENWARE) and different name slapped on the laptop would cost less.
Not really my E535 was by far the cheapest with the specs and features. I even made a threat challenging people to find something cheaper and better and it could not be done.
In this case there the OP should get something else because Lenovo does not really make gaming laptops on the same level as Sager or Asus.
The Y510P is probably the best laptop in his price range. For $1200 (on the side, click more models), you get a 4th gen Core i7 which helps alot with battery consumption, NVIDIA GTX 755M in SLI (which will kill your battery life, but just make sure to plug it in when playing games), 8GB of RAM which is all you ever need for just gaming and light productivity, Blu-Ray drive if you use those, a 1080P screen that looks better than most imo, and Windows 8 that can be upgraded to 8.1 for free. And its sleek.
I took a quick glance at it, while you could get something around the same price with a bit better gpu, the sli 755m will be able to outperform it.
But if you can, I would wait for the Y50 to be release because apparently it will be much better and have models with 4K displays (though you won't be able to game in 4K at reasonable framerate so you will have to switch down to 1080P res)

I looked at that one as well, but I think the y510 will fit my needs plus more.

Thank you so much! I just looked at it and it is perfect. Definitely going with that one.
