The title says it all, my expected priority brands: MSI, Dell

Answers are really appreciated.

P/s: Please no Dual Graphics card like the ones with Intel Graphics.

Look for the ASUS VivoBook, HP Pavilion 15, Lenovo Ideapad 520, Acer Aspire 5 series with gtx950m cards!
Dell´s gamer laptops are called Alienware and are rather expensive, but there is the Dell Vostro 15 5568 EAN-Codes: 5397184008331
MSI has its
MSI PL62 7RC-210 EAN-Codes: 4719072545314
and
MSI GP62 6QFi58FD EAN-Codes: 4719072459680
in your price range.
Are there any other wishes or constraints?

Go to Lenovo outlet and filter on whatever you want.
I filtered on GTX1060 and got a list of 5.
The first two are <$900 and show stock of two.

I might bust the budget a bit for the third on the list with a 17" screen and a ssd.

The PL62 seems to fit me very well as I need the laptop mostly for light-weight works and games
And it's design is very cool. Thank you for suggestions. I'm going to pick the PL62.

P/s: I wonder how can a MX150 beats GTX 950M? (Source: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp%5B%5D=3789&cmp%5B%5D=3171)

It varies per application. In most games the gtx950 is ahead of the MX150, in others they are head to head. You find many games and resolutions tested in these articles:
