Any good cheap gaming laptops for college / League of legends?

Hi, I'd like to get some help. What are good laptops that can be used for college but, at the same time, used to play league of legends.

Price range:500-600$

Basically the least expensive laptop you can get with a 1080p screen and a dedicated GPU (nVidia 940m). However, the 940m is not powerful enough to play most games at 1080p with decent performance. But... LoL has very low system requirement so you should be able to max out the graphics quality.

Is there any way I can find which laptops have the best performance + battery life? I noticed that dedicated GPUs easily kill the battery fast, so I was wondering if there is any laptops that can last atleast up to 7 - 10 hours. I know that it also depends on the situation (am I gaming/ do I have a lot of programs up?) I would prefer a laptop that can last long for college + able to play games for quite some time without having to have it charged every hour or so.

There are laptops that can last 7 - 10 hours, but most are not gaming laptops and that can only happen when not playing games. When playing games on battery at best you might get 2 hours worth of gaming.

The Dell XPS 15 1080p version with a quad core i5 / i7 and GTX 960m GPU can generally get 7 - 9 hours of battery life with "light" usage; meaning no games.

The high end Dell XPS 15 with the 4k resolution screen and 512GB SSD comes with a larger capacity battery (84WHr vs 56WHr), but only lasts on average around 6.5 hour base on reviews. 4K screen uses a lot of powerful compared to a 1080p screen.
