You really don't need to come close to $1000 for what you're looking to do. It'd just be overkill.

MSI GL62M 7RDX-1408 15.6" IPS Intel Core i7 7th Gen 7700HQ (2.80 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 8 GB Memory 128 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop - Newegg.com

That'd be solid. You want an SSD which this has. It's a solid display. Great keyboard, powerful processor for text sims, and a good enough graphics card that you could play games on high settings it if you want.

You could always downgrade the processor a bit, dump the extra hard drive (which you could actually just use from your old laptop), and save more. Plus this one has a 256GB SSD vs 128GB.

Whatever you buy, you want an SSD at your price point.
