Laptops (gaming or not) - which ones other than Asus ROGs?

[Spraki]

Ok. Before you throw all your jebs at me-

I read several threads and offsite laptop review sites. I know people tend to hate these personal advice laptop threads.

However, I still require quite some guidance on certain laptops, especially ones that are not full gaming laptops. 

To clarify, I am looking for one that can obviously play KSP, and other modern games like Overwatch ( note that I never play on high settings).

 

Coming from a 2011'ish  i5  Samsung rv520 that has a GT520m, so anything could be nice.

But also ones that have good architecture, which apparently ASUS ROGs tend to have. Or so I read that the placement of power supply is nice and it has a nice passive cooling setuo.

 

I would like to hear from those who do use laptops how things are going. I am also the type who would rather have a laptop that can survive some 4 years. That is a bit of a magic 8 ball thing, but I have read here and there that MSI and DELL laptops are not sooooo reliable (now is the time to prove me wrong).

However, I am looking for more manufacturer names.

Only recently did I hear about Schenker Laptops, Germany-based. I am studying abroad at the moment but I do live in Germany.

Anyways. I want to hear some advice and opinions on (gaming) laptops. I know I know, it is a bit of a farce, but some of us have to rely on them these days.

I have seen a few people playing Overwatch on these non-ROG asus laptops, so I think there are alternatives?

I suppose I'd be willing to pay up to $1300USD, but not if they are prone to breakdown due to faulty parts or crapoy architecture (hence worries read about MSI and DELL).

Thanks. Do please be thorough with your opinions on what would be viable :3
