New laptop for gaming/work, around 1000 €

Question

I'm going to buy a laptop for both gaming and coding (I already have a bigger, powerful PC for most of the games though, but I also want to play on the laptop).

I want something :

• nice-looking
• quick to boot (A SSD for the OS seems mandatory, or a hybrid drive)
• A good battery life (3+ hours)
• With an OS (W10)
• Comfortable for long sessions of coding
• Reliable in the long term

I don't mind about not having an optical drive.

Are there brands I should avoid ?

Answer 1

I finally bought an Asus ROG G551JW-DM379T following the advices of my SysAdmin (Quoting : "Asus is GOOD").

• It is not too flashy
• Features an hybrid HDD (1Tb + 24Gb)
• Windows 10
• Good processor (Core i7) and graphics card (GeForce GTX960M)
• Was quite "cheap" (980€, which allowed me to take some accessories with it)
