Need help with a laptop recommendation

[Dariaa]

i spend at least 14hours daily on my laptop mostly watching tv shows. i am not really a gamer yet but i am planning on becoming one so i guess a pretty good graphics card is a must.
so i'm basically looking for a laptop that looks good(preferably colorful, don't judge me) performs well (ie. won't start frying up after a couple of hours), 15inch display would be great 14 would do too. and of course good for gaming. and most importantly one that will LAST LONG! under $1000. is there such a laptop out there? tell me there is..please.

budget: 1000 is the limit..but i would love it if i can buy one within 800.
the size is not really a factor ..i'm not that into this compact craze. i would prefer a 15inch display though.
storage 1TB (any less won't be a deal breaker though)
like i said i'm going to try becoming a gamer so i can't list what games i wanna play..just think of all the popular ones that demand a lot from your machine.
laptop has to be portable but not lenovo yoga level portable.
battery life...medium.
i need my laptop to last as long as a laptop possibly can. i am hating this deciding process as it is.
my laptop is for entertainment only. it will not be tasked with anything else.
i live in bagladesh. but i can have someone bring me the laptop from wherever necessary.
no brand preference. although hp has sorta disappointed me a little.
no site preference either.
think i answered all the questions.

If you want a reliable laptop, ASUS is a good brand, ROG models are their gaming series https/www.amazon.com/GL552VW-DH71-15-Inch-Discrete-GeForce-Metallic/dp/B01578ZKPO If you want to maximize life, try using a cooling pad with it. No real gaming system will have as good as life in a laptop as a desktop due to component heat and size limitations, especially with 14 hr a day use.

At this price range, the best overall price to performance(at least on my part) is the Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK at ~$780. You'll probably be always near an outlet for you because, it's a laptop and it needs charging. India is a big country so try to find it locally first or on indian online stores but here's the amazon link anyway:

https/www.amazon.com/Dell-15-6-Inch-Quad-Core-i5-6300HQ-Processor/dp/B015PYYDMQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1469557012&sr=1-1&keywords=Dell+15.6-Inch+Gaming+Laptop+%286th+Gen+Intel+Quad-Core+i5-6300HQ+Processor+up+to+3.2GHz%2C+8GB+DDR3%2C+256GB+SSD%2C+Nvidia+GeForce+GTX+960M%2C+Windows+10%29

Key features: Core i5 6300HQ(6th gen), GTX 960M 4GB, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM, Windows 10
The main drawback for YOU would be the colour, so check it out. I strongly recommend it though at this price range. I'm not a gamer but for me, popular games means DOTA 2, LoL, Overwatch, WoW, COD, Battlefield, Minecraft(very popular xD), GTA series, FIFA, CS:GO and this laptop is enough for these games though it is recommended to check their requirements first.

definitely getting a cooling pad. but are asus laptops reliable? has to last long. has to be sturdy.

 

[Dariaa]

this one actually seems the one except for the color of course. i will check it out for sure. dell is a good brand right? reliable?

Both ASUS and Dell are reliable. ASUS has more gaming oriented gaming laptops while the Dell have only a few ones. ASUS also has chassis(shell/body) more like a typical gaming laptop.
