Laptop Suggestions

I need a laptop for personal use like schooling, but I'd also like it to be powerful enough for me to play games on. I'm not talking about extreme level gaming, obviously a PC is the best way to go, but I'd like to be able to play older gen games and new games. Any suggestions as far as Mac vs Windows? I'm incredibly uneducated on laptops in general. Price is around 1K or less.

Windows for sure.

Look at the gaming range from ASUS and MSI, they have a wide variety of gaming laptops.

Razer also do laptop but they are expensive.
