I have 1000 dollars, should I get a Lenovo Y520, Acer VX15, Dell Insp. or MSI GL62M ? I want it for not so demanding games, but I need something portable for my travels, getting my PC sent for playing a couple weeks is such a haste
None of them. If you're traveling you shouldn't even be gaming anyway and you should be enjoying the location you're in.

Nice life advice, but I do not travel to turistic places nor amazing lost places, I travel to a some sort of family hotel in SA

I got an Acer VX15 and I can play witcher 3 on high settings and beautiful fps. I do not however play with highest shadows or anti-aliasing though.
Highly recommend it.

oh and of course do not expect it to have the same fps if you are running on battery

At a minimum, you'd want a GTX 1050. Don't forget about cooling - the really thin laptops (which already charge a premium over regular laptops) will overheat easier when pushed too hard, killing battery life and performance.

of course not as good as desktop graphics but I think it is pwetty and the fps is good
Nobody seems to understand this but I would recommend that you never buy a gaming laptop until Nvidia fixes the Nvidia optimus problem. Why it's not a well known issue is beyond me, it happens in almost every modern gaming laptop released in the past 1-2 years. If you buy one now, expect unique, strange, and unfixable problems like diagonal screen tearing. Nvidia realizes this is an issue, but they haven't seemed to do anything about it for years. Fuck Nvidia. I should have bought an AMD laptop.

Notice how long this thread has been up.

I think some brands have an option in BIOS to switch off Optimus, and/or force a particular GPU upon boot-up. You'd have to do your research to discover which of them do it, however.
As a general rule, I believe G-SYNC laptops don't have Optimus.

Yeah, sometimes the diagonal tearing drives me crazy
>>386336735
>diagonal screen tearing
Oh shit. That's why,
>>386336735
I have an optimus gaming laptop and I only experienced diagnostic screen tearing in one game, Lighting Returns. Also connecting the laptop to an external display seems to help. It's still an issue but it wouldn't deter me from getting a gaming laptop.
OP, I have an MSI GE62VR 7RF and it's pretty solid overall. Only nitpick is noisy fans and very warm chassis under load but otherwise I have no regrets. The laptop itself is lighter than my old business class HP Elitebook 8540w. Out of the laptops that you listed, MSI has the best display.

if you don't want to play the very latest shit all-Ultra, these new Nvidia MX150 (=GTX 1030) machines would do fine:
